Acceptance Chance?

<p>I'm a junior right now and this is my first choice school planning on going to UCONN's agriculture program.</p>

<p>My sister is attending UCONN right now and my father is an alumni, but I don't know how much value legacy has.</p>

<p>My cumulative GPA is a 3.33. I'm at the beginning of my third quarter so I'm hoping to pump that up a bit. I have taken a pretty good course load (imo) as well. Notable classes I have under my belt:</p>

<p>Sophomore Year:
-B in AP Bio with a 5 on the AP test and a B for ECE.
Junior Year:
-B in AP Comp (yet to take the test)
-C in AP US History (same as above)
Planned for senior year:
-AP Environmental Science
-AP English Language and Literature</p>

<p>-I have been a varsity rower since sophomore year, which has two seasons, so I currently have 3 varsity letters (I don't know how valuable this is). I'm expecting to continue this trend so I'll hopefully end up with 6 letters. I also have a pretty good chance of being elected captain of the team (the position is voted on by the team, but the coach also has a pretty big say).
-I work a summer job on a tobacco farm (which I hope will make my application more desirable for the agriculture program).
-I've been a part of my schools INTERACT program, which is a community service club for my school. </p>

<p>My 1600 SAT score was an 1130. I am, however, in a Princeton Review program to hopefully boost that a bit. I am also planning on taking the ACT's which I hope to do better in.</p>

<p>Your workload definitely sounds good, and so do your extracurriculars. I’m not sure how competitive the agriculture major is as far as admissions go, but you are on a good track. The only suggestion I have would be to try to bump up your grades a teeny bit if possible, just to be safe. As for your SATs, you still have a lot of time to improve them so keep working on that! </p>

<p>Just keep on doing your absolute best and hopefully it will be in accordance with UConn’s standards (:</p>
