Chance for BU, NYU, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, USC & More I Will Chance Back!!!!

<p>I kind of gave up hope of some of my schools after freshman year, since my GPA flat out sucked, a 3.2, but when I caught wind of schools like USC and Michigan recalculating GPA w/o freshman stats in there, it gave me a ton of hope. Also, my grade trend has gone from a 3.2, to a 3.6, to a 4.2, to a (most likely) 4.5 senior year. I can't think of a better grade trend than that. Also, I took progressively harder classes each yea.r</p>

<p>I can only help you with USC/NYU/BU.</p>

<p>I’d say you have a really good shot at all 3, so that would be a match.</p>

<p>I don’t know these universities too well, unfortunately, but I’ll help with the ones I can.
Your overall stats are actually really good. You sounded like you were lacking confidence, but don’t. Your EC’s show that you have both motivation and dedication, you know what you want to do and you’ve been doing it, which is REALLY good. Plus, a 33 ACT is great.
