Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm currently a junior. I want to major in Political Science and Government. I was sick as an underclassman (I was out of the classroom half the time as a freshman, and in treatment sophomore year), which negatively affected my grades. I have all A's this year as a junior.</p>

<p>Here's where I stack up:</p>

<p>3.25 unweighted GPA, 3.65 weighted GPA
Top 30% of class
2270 SAT
34 ACT
AP/Honors: French, Psychology, Lang, Gov, Euro
Lots of extracurricular: president of Environmental Club; NJ Youth and Government; Girl Scout since kindergarten; youth representative on Church Council (large congregation, was elected); volunteer at soup kitchen regularly every month for the past 5 years; member of MENSA; environmental volunteer.</p>

<p>The schools I'm looking at are: Wesleyan, Barnard*, Brown, Georgetown, University of Rochester, University of Texas-Austin, and Cornell.</p>

<p>This summer, I have an internship at a museum in New York City. Starting my junior year, I've been tutoring/teaching French. I work in a doctor's office.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>*Legacy: grandmother went to Barnard, father went to Columbia</p>

<p>Probably little to no chance at the ivies due to insanely low GPA. You need to bring that up to at least a 3.6 or 3.7 and your ECs are lacking. Test scores look great though</p>

<p>You have a decent shot at all of those schools, but definetely try to get that GPA up. It’s not impossible but you’re not in a “good chance” zone yet. Good luck!</p>

<p>If you get a moment, chance me back?

<p>Which schools do you think would be most likely for me?</p>

<p>I’d really appreciate comments, dude.</p>

<p>Here as I shamefully bump my own post again</p>

<p>will her low gpa matter if its high for the times she’s actually at school? If the only reason it was low is because she was sick and not at school, then that has no reflection on her ability. COlleges would be smart enough to make that deduction wouldn’t they?</p>
