<p>I also have stuttering which affects me everyday- this should make me stand out…</p>

<p>bump............</p>

<p>Hey man, I'm a stutterer also. It's really such a difficult life and people don't realize how incredibly hard it is on us. I plan on writing my essay about my stuttering and how it's shaped who i am as a person.
UNC- Low Reach
Wake Forest- Reach
NC State- IN
College of William and Mary- High Match/Low Reach
Virginia Tech- IN
Case Western- Low Reach
Clemson- High Match
Georgia Tech- High Match</p>

<p>Care to chance another stutterer back? <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/660677-chance-me-some-top-schools-ill-chance-you-back.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/660677-chance-me-some-top-schools-ill-chance-you-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>UNC- high reach
Wake Forest-reach
NC State-match
William and Mary-high reach
Virginia Tech-low match
Case Western-?
Clemson-match
Georgia Tech-high reach/low match</p>

<p>You haven't heard from Clemson yet? I thought they sent out their decisions?</p>

<p>UNC - low reach
Wake Forest - low reach (being an URM)
NC State - match
College of William and Mary - reach
Virginia Tech - high match
Case Western
Clemson - high match
Georgia Tech - low reach</p>

<p>You have a chance at ** ALL ** of these schools! =)</p>

<p>bump......... and mcvcm92 can you be more specific on the chances please?</p>

<p>bump...................</p>

<p>UNC - Reach
Wake Forest - Also reach... slightly less than UNC
NC State - Match
William and Mary - Reach
Virginia Tech - High match
Case Western - No idea
Clemson - Match
Georgia Tech - Low reach</p>

<p>can i have more opinions?</p>

<p>Please some more.....</p>

<p>Are you people kidding on the Georgia Tech? Low reach? Match? </p>

<p>UW GPA: 3.200
Mid 50%: 3.62 - 3.97</p>

<p>ACT: 25
Mid 50%: 28 - 32
(and you know the low end of that are the foreign students that blow away math but bomb English and Reading)</p>

<p>No AP Calc, a C in AP Stats, no Physics, a C in Bio...</p>

<p>You people are just blind guessing, aren't you? Why get someone's hopes up for no reason?</p>

<p>(and I know I addressed this in the GT forum, and I don't mean any disrespect, but I'm honestly shocked and how people are wildly guessing).</p>

<p>I feel a little bad about that, so here's some more research on the engineering schools:</p>

<p>GT: ACT (mid 50%) 28 - 32, GPA (mid 50% UW) 3.62 - 3.97 - high reach
CWR: ACT (mid 50%) 26 - 31, GPA (no reported) - reach
VT: ACT (mid 50%) 25 - 29, GPA (avg UW) 3.5 - slight reach
NCSU: ACT (mid 50%) 22 - 27, GPA (mid 50% UW) 3.35 - 3.75 - match
Clem: ACT (mid 50%) 25 - 30, GPA (avg Weighted) 3.89 - match</p>

<p>and why not...</p>

<p>W&M: ACT (mid 50%) 28 - 32, GPA (avg UW) 4.00 - high reach
Wake: ACT (mid 50%) 28 - 32, GPA (no reported) - high reach
UNC: ACT (mid 50%) 26 - 31, GPA (avg W) 4.44 - high reach</p>

<p>your ECs and story are all pretty standard, so I think GPA / ACT is the best indicator for you.</p>

<p>Eh, I had a friend with marginally better stats get in recently... I'm sticking with low reach for GT, though if you're majoring in something math related I'd probably bump it up.</p>

<p>150 points below the bottom 25th percentile on his equivalent SAT score, .5+ below the bottom 25 percentile on GPA. </p>

<p>Who gets in with a GPA in the bottom 25th percentile? People with SAT/ACT scores above the top 75th percentile or with excellent hooks (e.g. athletes). The same can be said for people with low ACT/SAT scores. </p>

<p>But you had a friend...</p>

<p>Look, I agree if we look solely at ACT and GPA it's definitely a high reach. But he's got great EC's in my opinion, and they may overlook his low GPA for the extenuating circumstances. There's a reason that people post these on boards, so they can get multiple opinions. Can we just leave it at that?</p>
