Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I already posted in the SDSU forum but am not getting any replies...so I thought I'd bring my achievements this-a-way...ANY help would be appreciated.</p>

<p>School: public, sends some grads to top schools (4 to Berkeley, LA, a few to NYU, 1 each last year to Columbia & Cornell)</p>

<p>Rank: 36/615
(top 6%)</p>

<p>GPA:</p>

<p>4.09 W
3.97 UW</p>

<p>SAT Reasoning
CR: 610
M: 450 (Yikes!)
W: 700 (E:11)</p>

<p>EC's: Drama, Dance, 50 hrs volunteering @ local hospital</p>

<p>Awards: Student of the Month Bio Nov. 2008, Student of the Month Chem April 2009</p>

<p>Honors/AP taken: 3 honors frosh + soph + senior, 1 AP senior year</p>

<p>Senior schedule-
Eng Lang AP I
Statistics CP
Psychology CP
Gov/Econ CP
Spanish III H (hopefully, depending on no schedule conflicts)
Adv Dance + Choreo</p>

<p>Intended major(s): English, Journalism, Theatre Arts general (still deciding, definitely want to write)</p>

<p>Schools:
San Diego State University (honors)

<p>I would consider UCR but would have to take SAT Subject Tests and don't know how to fit those in with possibly retaking the SAT I. Any suggestions/considerations?</p>

<p>I think your list is good. You know your SAT math score will hurt you, but perhaps CSUs only look at the combined score? Look into it and see if any of the CSUs state minimum SAT scores, by section or combined, for you to be a competitive applicant. If they only loof at the combined score you’re in good shape.</p>

<p>Thanks. :slight_smile: I’ll look into that.</p>

<p>You should be in good shape. Long Beach might be harder to get into but you have a shot. Good luck!</p>

<p>What should I have as a safety (besides CC, which I think would be a bit beneath me with my GPA-not that there is anything wrong with CC)?</p>
