Chance a hypocrite? I'll chance back...

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>So, I recently received my ACT scores and I'm not so happy. I used to think that chance threads were kind of annoying, so call me a hypocrite.</p>

<p>I'm a junior, in a high school thats located in the suburbs of Chicago.</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>Class Rank: Top 25% of 521 (That's all my school reveals)</p>

<p>GPA: 4.70 W on a 5.0 scale.</p>

<p>ACT: 25 C (27E, 25M, 23R, 24S,8 W)
Taking again in April. Hoping for at least 27+.</p>

<p>Intended major: Journalism/ Mass Communications</p>

<p>No APs because my counselor never urged me to take them. Taking AP Env. Science next year.</p>

<p>ECs:
-School Newspaper: (Staff writer last year, now I'm Copy Editor, possibly EIC next year).
-Scholastic Bowl since freshmen year. (It's trivia bowl.)
-Green Grens (Environmental Group) since freshmen year.
-NHS next year.
-Reporter for a teen newspaper published by the Chicago Tribune.</p>

<p>Family makes <40k a year.</p>

<p>Do I stand a chance at these schools?:</p>

<p>Mizzou
Indiana University
U of Illinois
Marquette U
Drake University</p>

<p>Any feedback is appreciated!</p>

<p>I dont know about the others, but i know that U of Illinois accepts a lot of instate people. (I think 80% of students are instate) </p>

<p>My stats where horrible, but i still got in from NY</p>

<p>3.2 UW, 3.4 W, 2000 SAT.</p>

<p>You’re a little weak on the extra curriculars and have no AP’s but you still have a year to accomplish extra curriclars</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>the best thing you can do right now is focus on your GPA and test scores, and then when you’re a senior and have your list fill this out. but i think you have a really good chance at every single school on your list, i’d frankly be shocked if any school rejected you. you have really impressive EC’s for a high school student and maintained your gpa at the same time.

<p>You should be accepted to those schools. The only thing that might hold you back is your act score. Though, you still have time to improve those.</p>

<p>Thanks for all of your input!</p>

<p>Your ECs look good. Just make sure this year you focus all of your time and energy towards improving GPA and test scores, because those are the most important. I think you have a good chance at getting in those schools.
