Can I get a chance, please?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I would greatly appreciate it if I could get a chance for UVA, UNC, NC State, and W&M</p>

<p>I am a junior who lives in NC</p>

<p>Freshman year:
-Honors English: A
-Biology: A
-Honors Algebra 2: A
-World History: A
-Spanish 1 : B
-Gym: A
-Woodshop: A</p>

<p>Sophomore Year:
-Honors English 2: A
-Chemistry: B
-Precalculus: A
-Honors Civics and Economics: A
-Spanish 2: A
-Autoshop: A</p>

<p>Junior Year:
-English 3: A
-Honors Earth Science: A
-AP Calculus BC: B
-Honors US History: A
-Spanish 3: A
-AP US Government and Politics: A</p>

<p>Senior Year (projected):
-Honors English 4: A
-AP Physics 1: A
-AP Physics 2: A
-AP Statistics: A
-Honors Great American Conflicts: A
-Honors Spanish 4: A</p>

<p>Total Honors: 10
Total AP's: 5</p>

<p>SAT: I have been taking practice tests and I think a 2100 is realistic.
ACT: I have no idea, I have not taken it yet.</p>

<p>EC's:
-33 hours of volunteering
-COO and President of the consumer goods sector of the research committee on the finance club
-Wrestling: 3-year varsity letter, 3-time All-conference, 3-time all-region, 2-year team captain</p>

<p>I attend a competitive school, so I will probably be around the top 10% area of my class (approx. 340 students)</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.8
Weighted GPA (after junior year): 4.47
Weighted GPA (projected senior year): 4.72</p>

<p>Additional:
-White
-NOT first generation college student
-Have NEVER been in ANY trouble (well, except for lunch detention in 6th grade)</p>

<p>Also, as you can see, I was a bit lazy during my freshman and sophomore years. Will colleges take into account the fact that they are not getting the lazy me, they are getting the me from my junior and senior years? Should I apply early and go with the 4.47 GPA and the better chances of acceptance, or should I apply regular so I can accumulate some more EC's and so colleges will see the 4.72 GPA?</p>

<p>Thanks a bunch.</p>

<p>It’s a reach being OOS!</p>

<p>Well here’s the thing:</p>

<p>With an average of a B a year, it’s probably best not to assume you will get all A’s you senior year.</p>

<p>Also, colleges don’t look at weighted gpa only unweighted, at least for the more upper tier schools. So your 3.8 might be a hindrace but considering you’re wrestling achievements, those 2 might balance out.</p>

<p>Volunteering is definately a weak spot u still have this summer so try to boost that to above 50 but dont just stop at 50 do as much as u can.</p>

<p>Aaaaaaand so I would say it’s a reach for the upper schools but pretty good chances for state…but you have to ace you Sat or Act, guesses arent reality ( lol I got waaay higher on my practice tests than I did on my real one)</p>

<p>And they look more at general improvement so they might skip over ur freshman grades but it doesn’t really matter ur grades dont drop or rise they just stat consistent</p>
