Chance an average student? I'll chance back!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>If you read my other post, you know I'm a rising senior interested in nursing. I've found a few more schools that I'm interested in-I'm also looking for safeties. I'd be more than happy to chance back if you include your link.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.3 unweighted, honors and pre-AP courses. Slight upward trend. One C due to a bad teacher-the average for her classes was a D+, and my GC will explain this in my recommendation. </p>

<p>SAT I: 720 CR, 630 M, 690 W</p>

<p>EC's: Student Council (9-10) SADD (10-11) Christ's Closet (free clothing store, 9-10) Part time job (paid for my tuition since grade 9). </p>

<p>Volunteer hours: well over 300. </p>

<p>My intended major is nursing.</p>

<p>Northeastern University
Fairfield University
Stony Brook
Penn State
Slippery Rock University</p>

<p>And then the original 3-</p>

<p>UMASS Amherst
UCONN
Quinnipiac</p>

<p>These are schools I'm really loving so far-but I'm also looking for others, and some safeties. I'd prefer to stay in the northeast. Thanks!</p>

<p>Northeastern University: High match
Fairfield University: Safety
Stony Brook: High match
Penn State: Low Match
Slippery Rock University: Low match/safety
UMass Amherst: Safety
UConn: Low match
Quinnipiac: Safety</p>

<p>Please note that I have based most of my chancing off of their admissions rates. I don’t know much about these schools or what kinds of students they accept. I think that you do have a very solid chance at all of the schools you listed. Imo, I don’t think that you really need anymore safeties. You have a few that you’re definitely going to get into, and there is no use in spending $50+ just for another school to add to your list.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Chance me back please? Thanks! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1527858-chance-me-harvard-yale-etc-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1527858-chance-me-harvard-yale-etc-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I will chance you back in a bit when I have time, I’m actually working right now</p>

<p>Looking at my stats will help you feel better about yourself! Please chance me!</p>

<p>Maybe you’re just doing this for fun, but the “chance me; I’ll chance back!” game is kind of meaningless. </p>

<p>I suggest looking at freshman stats for your schools online before blindly following what random Internet users tell you.</p>

<p>UMASS is a high match? Why?</p>

9

<p>I don’t think that high match is unreasonable. I went with “match” but I don’t think “high match” is unreasonable.</p>

10

<p>Even if I’m in state?</p>

11

<p>You admitted that you were am ‘average’ student?</p>

12

<p>Ummmmm…yes. Is that a bad thing?</p>

13

<p>Umass Amherst being my one and only safety school has visited my school a number of times, and everytime they come, they specifically say that umass amherst atleast is no longer giving preference to massachusetts residents. They’ve said this approximately 3-4 years in a row and I’ve noticed that the number of admitted applicants to umass has decreased. High match or match doesn’t really make a difference, but you will probably get in regardless.</p>

14

<p>Thank you. UMASS is one of my top choices</p>

15

<p>Your SAT will probably bring your gpa up a bit. Have you looked into SAT IIs?</p>

<p>I don’t know much about the other schools, but if you get good grades first semester and have decent SAT IIs Northeastern will probably be a low reach:)</p>

<p>Good luck!!</p>

<p>Thanks! If anyone’s reading this and wants to chance me, it’s serious good karma</p>
