<p>Hello, I was wondering if someone could chance me. </p>

<p>Chinese-American
Female
Massachusetts
First Generation</p>

<p>GPA: End of junior year (2.4 UW) / Expected end of mid-senior year (2.6/2.7 W)
SAT: 1500 / Hoping to retake for 1800
Courseload: First time taking APs or honors in senior year, Took Biology twice</p>

<p>Extra-curriculars:
2 to be 3 Years Varsity Softball Team
2 to be 3 Years Elementary School Tutor
3 Years of Asian Club
3 Years of Key Club</p>

<p>Jobs:
1 Year Ice Cream Store
1 Summer Selective Hospital Medical Program for High School Students
1 Summer Hospital Volunteer</p>

<p>Essay: On being a very outspoken person, how this is the opposite of what a traditional Chinese family expects of their daughter, and how it has shaped who I am now.</p>

<p>Recommendations: From two teachers at school, and perhaps a very close supervisor at my hospital medical program.</p>

<p>--
I know it will probably be hard to gain admission seeing how only a few (8%) of attending students have a GPA below 3.0.</p>

<p>Awh man your GPA isn’t looking too good. You’ll need an SAT score in the 2000 range to pull that off. Try and prep hardcore this summer to make it happen! Best of luck :]</p>

<p>Uhm your GPA is a bit low but you have a lot of extra curriculars. I think with a good essay and SAT score, you could possibly get accepted. </p>

<p>I’m entering Syracuse University this year in Aug and I had a 1720 SAT, and a 3.36 GPA.</p>

<p>i will also be attending SU this year as a freshman and i had a 3.5 and an 1880 on my SAT’s. i think your GPA will really hurt your chances. show a lot of interest! if SU is your top choice, apply under the early decision plan, INTERVIEW!, and make sure admissions knows you “bleed orange!” haha. kind of corny but if you truly love SU, you have to fight to get in…especially with a low GPA! good luck!</p>
