Chance Me / Match Me!

Hi!
I am a junior and am really anxious to start the college process. I am applying to hard schools, but don’t know if I made my schedule impressive enough.

I am planning to apply to University of Michigan, University of Maryland, Boston University, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, University of Connecticut, and Northeastern.

I currently am taking:

AP Comparative Politics
AP Environmental Science
AP Psychology
Honors English 11
Regular PreCalc
Ceramics
DH (Work with special needs kids)

I have played varsity softball since freshman year, have over 250 SSL, and have a part time job.

I have a 3.92 unweighted GPA and a 30 on the ACT.

Thanks for your input!

I think you have a shot at all of those schools.

3

Have you taken any foreign language?

4

Can you boost your ACT score? A 30 is at the low end for some of the schools on your list… Also what state do you live in? State school admission may be more challenging if you’re OOS.

5

They are also expensive if you are out of state. Can you afford out of state tuition? What is your home state?

6

I think that a 30 is really the highest I can get and was higher than I was expecting.I live in MD.

7

MD but I can afford out of state or am willing to do student loans if absolutely necessary

8

I went to spanish 4 honors and stopped my sophomore year! Also next year I will be taking honors physics, honors world, calc with apps, ap stat, ap human geo, honors english 12

You know that you can only borrow $5,500 freshman year (federal loans) and a bit more each year after that, right? Any other loans will likely require an adult cosigner.

I think you will have a hard time getting into Michigan and UNC with a 30 ACT. Do you have a couple of safeties that you KNOW you can get into and would like to attend? (I"d suggest you look at St. Mary’s College of Maryland).

I can afford out of state. Does it help that I would be applying to the science school at all of them? I don’t have high hopes for UNC but would love love love to get into Mich. Maryland and Uconn are my safeties and I will likely add a few more. thank you so much i really appreciate your help!

Umich isn’t happening with a 30 ACT it’s very competitive OOS. UNC and northeastern are also reaches due to your lower ACT score. BU looks like a good fit though. Best of luck!
