Can anyone help assess my chances

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Everyone here is way better than me but I figured why not.</p>

<p>oos
race- black
Overall gpa- 3.75 UW top 20% of 300
Sat 1- 1240/1840 (pretty low but got private tutor over summer)
Sat 11- none yet</p>

<p>AP- Statistics, Calc AB, Psychology, Enviro, French
rest of my classes are honors so my schedule is probably rather rigorous</p>

<p>E.C.'s
Black Belt Martial Artist (8 years)
Football (Varsity 11,12)
Over 50 hours volunteer at library
Mentor club (VP 11, P 12)
DECA
National Honor Society
Other rather unimportant ones</p>

<p>No substatial awards except I had story about myself in a major paper for Martial Arts and I went to the VA Boys State</p>

<p>I should have fairly decent essays and very good recommendations.</p>

<p>Chances at:
UVA
U of M
Wake Forest
NYU
Miami O
Virginia Tech
JMU
Howard
Michigan State</p>

<p>im pretty sure youre gonna be fine, but you need to make sure youre essays are GOOOOOOD(:</p>

3

<p>you are black, you can get in anywhere</p>

4

<p>word, anyone else, criticism is invited</p>

5

<p>ummmm.....bump</p>

6

<p>Your ECS arent spectacular nor distinguished, your SAT scores are less than mediocre, and you still haven't taken SAT IIs</p>

<p>NYU/UVA - unlikely/very high reach</p>

<p>rest of them - high reach/reach</p>

<p>definitely raise those scores. ecs are too late to really embellish right now. your ethnicity will help though</p>

7

<p>So.....Tech, JMU, Miami O, Howard, and Michigan State are all high reach/reach for me?</p>

8

<p>uhhh.....hello anyone out there?</p>

9

<p>dude...ur black...any college will take you</p>

10

<p>you look pretty good for the bottom of the list but I dunno about NYU and up</p>

11

<p>ECs look weak and test scores could DEFINITELY improve, however, I wouldn't rule out U Va and UM just yet. If you can score highly on those, a combination of high scores, average/low GPA, and fluffy ECs (and URM status), could probably get you in. Aim for 2150+/700+ at the very least.</p>

<p>that sounds reasonible, thats around what I figured for SAT scores</p>
