Can I get into these schools with these grades? (Please I'm desperate for feedback)

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm extremely nervous for colleges, and I need to know if I even have a chance for these colleges...
TOP: Vtech, W&M(huge stretch I know)
MID: VCU, GMU, JMU, Syracuse, Ohio State
SAFE(?): University of Mary Washington</p>

<p>Here are my stats:
GPA: about a 3.74 (weighted)
SAT: Math= 530, Reading = 570, Writing = 610 (not the best, I know :/)
ACT: ENGLISH = 27, MATH =24, READING = 29, SCIENCE = 21
Freshmen year I took all honors, and got A's in all my classes except a B in spanish 2 and a C in geometry HN</p>

<p>Sophmore year was a bad year, I took all honors again, and got all A's except for B in chemistry HN, a B in AP World, and a, ugh, D in Algebra 2 HN (however I took a remedial class over the summer, and got an A there...)
-I did however get a 4 on my AP World exam</p>

<p>Junior year was also pretty rough, I took all honors/AP again, except for Precalc. I got all A's except for a B+ in APEs, a B in APUSH, and C's in both Physics honors and Spanish 4
-I took 3 APs during this year, APES, APUSH, and AP English(got 4s on all)</p>

<p>Senior year, I'm currently taking 4 AP classes (AB Calc, AP Gov, AP Bio, and AP Lit) as well as Animation, Computer Science, and Art 3</p>

<p>I've done over 50+ community service hours and am in running for the civic seal of approval
I'm in about 7 clubs, and am officer of one of them (Art Club), historian in another(National Art Honor Society) , and VP in another (International Club)</p>

<p>No sports, but I did get selected for our School Annual Art exhibition</p>

<p>I've done an art supplement + essay for W&M and did all the writing supplements for every school that has offered one to me</p>

<p>I'm also a first-generation Asian American, if that's any help</p>

<p>Is there any school I can even have a chance of getting into??</p>

<p>Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, I could really use your help :)</p>

<p>Need UW GPA.</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot at all your mid schools with a high chance at VTech. W&M is certainly a reach but not impossible since a little more than 10% have those SAT scores. I think your passion for art helps and first generation.
Good Luck!</p>

<p>Our school actually doesn’t send out anything but the weighted GPA for our transcripts (Or at least thats what my counselor told me…) Sorry :/</p>

5

<p>Thank you so much :smiley: Honestly, if I get into either VCU or VTech, I would be so happy (but I’m worried I’ll get docked points for my bad grades…)</p>

<p>Oh crap I’m really freaking out, my mid term grades are about to come out and I’m pretty sure I have one F on it (damn AB Calc) all my other classes tho should be fine. So now my mid term grades will probably look like this…
AB Calc - F
Animation - A
Computer Science - B
Art - A
AP Gov - A
AP Lit - A
AP Bio - B or C (there is a major test coming up) </p>

<p>Do I have any chance at all at ANY of my schools???</p>

<p>Your math grades are gonna drag you down big time, although depending on your major, it may vary on what admissions officers think</p>

<p>My son is a junior in high school and is taking APUSH and currently has a C. He received 2 C’s his sophmore year, one in Honors Chemistry and one in Honors Algebra II. Other than that he has had mostly A’s and a few B’s. He has taken all honors, PLTW and AP courses. He really wants to go to NC State, even if it means going in undecided. (Computer Engineering is his dream). His GPA is 3.5 unweighted and 4.5 weighted (not including this year’s grades since they are not yet finalized). The other colleges he is interested in are Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech and Clemson, but NC State is his #1 choice. I am wondering if anyone knows of students who have received some C’s and have been accepted into any of these schools. He will take the SAT this weekend so I do not have those scores yet.</p>

<p>I’m going as undecided for all of mine mostly (I think I placed English for W&M) Do you think I still have a chance for VCU at least?</p>

<p>moonbeam121 - I understand you are worried/wondering about decisions on the places you have applied. That’s natural. But assuming you have already sent in your apps, I would suggest the only thing you can focus on is addressing your grades, most importantly your Calc mid-term grade. Frankly, the most important thing you can do is bring up your Calc grade, make sure you prepare well for your AP Bio test, and focus on finishing strong for the semester. The schools that accept you are going to want your final grades, so obviously you don’t want an issue there. Good luck.</p>

<p>Yeah I know what you mean…I’ll definitely work hard to fix it as best as I can. Its just frustrating for this to happen to me during the 7th semester of my senior year…Thank you so much though for the wise words of advice :smiley: I hope I can improve anything to better my chances into getting into my schools.</p>

<p>UPDATE: great news for anyone who cares, I did into VCU :smiley: (in their college for humanities and science for Biology) hopefully more good news will come as well.</p>

13

<p>With those scores, all are reaches except Mary Washington.</p>

14

<p>Sat reading and math are average. You may want to consider taking the SAT again to get one of e two over 600. It will be a reach to get onto any top school in any state. You have a chance for mid level schools but it will depend on the other applicants. Sorry just being honest.</p>

<p>Moonbeam, congrats on the VCU acceptance! Now get great grades the rest of the year and you will have an amazing college career there.</p>

16

<p>thanks so much for the comments and criticism (don’t worry about being honest, I really do need the feedback) and yeah I hope I can do much better in whatever college I end up going to next year :slight_smile: (I’ll have more time to focus on school work and school work only, instead of caring for my 5 little siblings and giving up that necessary time)</p>

<p>Hi I was just wondering when you turned in your application?</p>
