chance an average kid

<p>GPA - 3.15 Cumulative (upward trend, I had a bad freshman year, since then I always have at least a 3.5 semester gpa) 4 point scale</p>

<p>SAT - 660 Verbal, 660 Math, 650 Writing
ACT - 30</p>

<p>I go to a rigorous college prep school. It is ranked 45th in the country.</p>

<p>Extracurricular Activities - I played two seasons of Football, two seasons of Cross Country, 4 seasons of Wrestling (will be Captain Senior year), 4 seasons of Track & Field. I have been in 6 plays so far, and I will most likely be in 8 by the end of my high school career. (two plays per year). I have talent for it and I plan to continue with it in college. I am also part of Campus Republicans and the Alcohol Prevention Team (I'll explain this more in a little bit)</p>

<p>I wish to major in History and Theater. Like I said I have talent in theater, and I have had all As in history. I take tough classes and AP classes. I am going to write two very interesting essays for my application. One is about how I lost 105 lbs. and the other is about what I learned from my two week suspension.</p>

<p>I was suspended for two weeks during the second semester of my sophomore year. I got drunk with the wrestling team on a trip and had a seizure. We were all caught because of me. We were almost kicked out of school, but instead we were suspended for only two weeks. I have learned my lesson and to show my appreciation to the school I became a founding member of the Alcohol Prevention Team. Our mission is to promote a sober campus. I am now sober and I do not plan to touch alcohol for a long time.</p>

<p>I am a WASP from St. Louis, Missouri.</p>

<p>What are my chances? Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>CMC is a reach for you. Your test scores are a bit low; if you retake the ACT or SAT (I personally think it’s easier to score higher on the ACT than the SAT, I would recommend you to take the ACT), you might increase your chances. Your GPA is definitely too low; I don’t think you really have much time to drastically improve your GPA (since you have like a semester left until you apply for college)…so an improvement in test scores will help a lot. Perhaps take an ACT/SAT prep class (although people say they’re unhelpful, I personally saw my scores improve significantly).</p>

<p>Moreover, CMC HIGHLY emphasizes leadership, so I would recommend kind of highlighting or improving your leadership? Idk, but your status as one of the leaders in the Alcohol Prevention Team is pretty good; try to emphasize that in your application.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
