I just barely passed freshman and sophomore year (D’s and C’s) but during both junior and senior year I got straight A’s. I would go into the story as to how I brought up my grades but I’m not sure it matters and I doubt you all care. Freshman year I was VP of French club. Junior and Senior year I held a part time job and volunteered at an organization for about 4 hours every week. There is a huge upward trend which I’m hoping will help me while applying.
I would also like to know what the lowest acceptance rate for a college is that I could aim for. For example, University of Alabama has a 51% acceptance rate. I want to know if I should even be considering colleges that only accept 51%. What acceptance rate do you think would be a good range for me? I’m thinking any college with an acceptance rate less than 60% is a reach. Thoughts?
Also, I’d love to hear your opinion on my SAT scores. I do have an opportunity to retake them if they are too low.
Thank you to anyone that wants to help me out!!
