A Senior with current anxiety over colleges.

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>To be blunt, my freshman year has probably ruined my chances for college. All my life, I've been wanting to go into Biology and study Zoology/Animal Behavior. But what happens right when I enter High School? I become friends with the wrong type of people. And so I slacked off and ended up with a GPA of like, 2.5. </p>

<p>Thankfully, Sophomore year slapped me in the face with reality, and I changed my ways in a heartbeat. Ever since then, I have been STRUGGLING to get my GPA up. However, despite all the AP classes, Honors classes, and hard work, I end up with this: UW GPA of 2.7 and W GPA of 3.1</p>

<p>I'm now entering my Senior year and my anxiety and stress level have never been so high. I'm applying to colleges as early as possible, going to all the Preview days, all the good stuff. But deep down inside, I know I'm inadequate, despite my intelligence, all because my GPA sucks. </p>

<p>I pass all Honors classes with B's and A's. I took two AP's my Junior year: Bio and Pysch. I passed Bio with a C+ and Pysch with a B. I'm taking AP Lit this year. I got a 1510 on my first SAT in the Spring and a 23 on my first ACT. I didn't study for either of them, but I am going to study my second time around this year. I'm co-Stage Manager for Stage Crew. I'm Head Puppeteer in Puppet Club. I participate in Fencing outside of school. I've volunteered at a Zoo for 4 years and am now volunteering at a library.</p>

<p>Despite everything, my 3.1 laughs at me in the face. My dream is to go to West Chester. The average GPA there is a 3.5. I'm doing all that I can to go to West Chester, but I want the honest truth.</p>

<p>Do you guys think things will work out?
I'm submitting my application this week, and will be getting my transcript and SAT/ACT scores next month. I'm thinking about reapplying again closer towards the deadline with an updated application.</p>

<p>Chance me.</p>

<p>From what I see they put alot of weight into transcript, and you have taken difficult classes. How did you do on the ap tests? Try looking at the common data set for the college to see what they report. </p>

<p>Just work your a** off senior year. And you have a chance. Best of luck to you!</p>

<p>Oh hunny, I plan on working my toosh off between classes, stage managering, and studying for SAT/ACT. It’ll be a great year.</p>

<p>West Chester: High Match</p>

<p>It’s probably a high match.</p>

<p>A 1510 is right above the bottom 25th percentile. Your gpa doesn’t help you either. Though the school isn’t that selective. Aim for 1700+ for the best chance.</p>

<p>with current SAT and grades: 30% chance
with 1800 SAT and 3.5 first semester: 50% chance</p>
