<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 (13%) of attending students have a GPA below 3.0 and my grades aren't that great. But will my being Asian (only 2% of attending are Asian) help me out somewhat in admission?</p>

<p>I think PC is a reach school for you. Being Asian and first generation may help. Female and from MA definitely won’t help. Work really hard your first term of senior year to pull your grades up. Would not suggest applying EA to any of your schools, as they are all probably going to want to see an upward trend in your GPA. Go for regular decision. Keep up your EC’s and try to get some leadership experience with in one or more of them. Make sure you have some match and saftey schools to apply to as well. Good Luck with your senior year!</p>
