Bad Junior year...chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi, I'm a rising senior, but I had a bit of an awkward junior year filled with depression, anxiety, and etc. What would my chances at private universities in the east coast be? (missed 60 days, second semester. :( )</p>

<p>Taken all honors, ap's, hardest classes available..
Hispanic/Mexican - 2180 SAT
<50K</p>

<p>Freshman year - 3.8
Sophomore - 4.0
Junior year</p>

<p>ap bio - A / C (2 semesters, expecting 4 or 5)
Ap stats - A (1 semester, expecting 4)
AP English - A (2 semesters, expecting 4)
AP Euro - A (1 semester, expecting 4)
Pre-Calc - A
Sociology - C</p>

<p>: /</p>

<p>Is there anything I can do my first semester of senior year (ends in February, so I guess it won't matter now)?</p>

2

<p>what about your EC and awards?
and chances for where...</p>

3

<p>No awards, no EC's.</p>

<p>Chances? You tell me. Where do I "fit"?</p>

4

<p>No ECs? At all. That's bad.</p>

<p>In order to counter your Cs junior year, make great grades first semester senior year.</p>

5

<p>great chance for schools like emory...</p>

6

<p>OK, good.</p>

<p>So what are my chances at (forget the east coast, kinda):
UW
WSU
Seattle U
Harvard.</p>

7

<p>good for UW/WSU/Seattle</p>

<p>harvard-- reject, unless you get damn lucky...
you're hispanic, that actually helps a lot</p>

8

<p>Phewww, better than deferred. ;)</p>

9

<p>No EC's? You know what sucks, if you did ECs I think you would have gotten into some ivies, despite the "bad junior year".</p>

10

<p>I'm sorry, I had to work 28+ hrs during school weeks, and full-time + overtime during summer.</p>

11

<p>I'm assuming you're in-state for Washington? You'll get in at the state schools. It's pretty funny how you just randomly tossed Harvard into the mix.</p>

12

<p>Ahaha, yeah. Juxtaposition!</p>

<p>So should I take a blind shot at prestigious universities?</p>

13

<p>You had to work "work 28+ hrs during school weeks, and full-time + overtime??????" </p>

<p>That looks x10000000000 BETTER than EC's</p>

<p>It shows you're independent and succeeded despite minimal support from various parental/relative connections. MAKE SURE you state how much you worked. I think you definitely have a chance at all schools.</p>

<p>^^
I agree with the above poster. Let them know about that and your low income. Because of that, HYPS may even become, dare I say it, a "match" for you, you are the archetypal poor, intelligent, hard working URM. Good luck.</p>

15

<p>Thanks, I hope I'm not "aiming" too high.</p>

<p>So I suppose I'm the typical URM?</p>

<p>AP Bio - 5
AP English - 5
AP Euro - 5
AP Stats - 5</p>

<p>Woo. :)</p>
