Any University

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello,
I'm just trying to get a clear answer as to what I'm going to need to do to get into a university. Here's what I have:</p>

<p>Good
Skipped a grade/opportunity to skip another
3.7 GPA
Low-income family/Tourette's
high involvement in mental health
Plan to become a psychiatrist</p>

<p>Bad
Attend school for mentally ill children
Terrible Mathematic SAT score
School only offers 1 EC & being in a rural location I haven't found anywhere to volunteer</p>

<p>I've been working on a book and begining a support group for mentally ill children, would that help? Also I have a couple theories on dissociative disorders is there anyway that could help me?</p>

<p>Thanks,
Jen</p>

<p>This is an incredibly interesting resume. To be honest, I'm just stabbing the dark, but I think your disability is compelling, to say the least. </p>

<p>I think you have a great chance of getting into a decent university, as long as your SAT scores at decent (1700+ or so).</p>

<p>I agree with lastchancexi. Colleges will look at what school/area you're from and make their judgements on that. They obviously won't expect a huge laundry list of EC's from you if you don't have the opportunities to do so. Work with what you have, you really are in a unique situation. Talk about this a lot in your essays, I know I'd find you very interesting. =)</p>

<p>Schools take into account difficulties faced--which in your case, are obvious and numerous.</p>

<p>Also, the 3.7 GPA is very high--so as was said already, a 1700 SAT will get you in at a lot of great places.</p>

<p>Also, you should ask for special circumstances for taking your SAT test if you have Tourette's--which will help with the score.</p>
