chance at wisconsin?

Applying to College
1

<p>I want to apply to Wisconsin and I was wondering if someone could approximate the likelihood that my application would be considered "right in the thick of things". I know that nobody can tell me for certain whether I would or would not get into a school, but if someone could approximate for me the level of consideration I would receive from Wisconsin (low consideration, medium, high) with with the following:</p>

<p>Caucasian, White, Upper Middle Class, Manhattan, attending good private school in NYC. Junior in high school.</p>

<p>3.35 GPA
650 Verbal
600 Math
650 Writing
AP Calculus (senior year)
AP Physics (senior year)</p>

<p>Next year (senior year) I will be taking AP calculus and AP Physics as well. I will also be taking Journalism, Anthropology, Constitutional Law, and Human Anatomy.</p>

<p>extra curricular:
I did about 140 hours of service my sophomore year and interned at a big real estate publication.</p>

<p>4 years of varsity soccer
2 years of varsity basketball
1 year of varsity hockey
Babysit 2 times a week
Take part in many clubs. </p>

<p>Please provide me with any suggestions and comments about my chances</p>

<p>Your test scores are pretty much perfectly average for UW, but your GPA is on the low side, and UW’s standards seem to be going up right now. I would have a safety or two.</p>

<p>what do you think could help my chances?</p>

<p>It’s a public university, so it’s mostly a numbers game. Good grades first semester senior year would help, as would improved test scores if possible.</p>

<p>A bit of improvement in tests and grades would help a lot. Also essays and ECs do count more than some think. Not just a numbers game. People that did not take essay seriously were dinged with better stats than yours. And vice versa. Full pay helps some too.</p>
