Chance me! (Be honest) and ill do yours back!! :)

<p>Hey guys, I have a 3.6 GPA weighted, 2000 sat score, 30 act score, 11 on the sat essay. I know my GPA is low, it dropped as my parents nearly separated twice and left me with mild depression. It's all good now :)</p>

<p>ECs: </p>

<p>Aviation, </p>

<p>NHS, </p>

<p>NTHS, </p>

<p>Rocketry club</p>

<p>Debate, </p>

<p>Chess, </p>

<p>UIL in math, number sense, calculator, science</p>

<p>Jazz band</p>

<p>Marching Band</p>

<p>Drumline</p>

<p>varsity swim team</p>

<p>engineering club</p>

<p>President/Creator of Aviation club, we've gotten like 10 people to fly airplanes</p>

<p>President of NTHS</p>

<p>Section leader of band</p>

<p>Trying for class president this year</p>

<p>I have almost 2 years job experience as a book keeper</p>

<p>Started my own ebay business</p>

<p>Hopefully will have 200+ community service by the end of this summer </p>

<p>Hopefully a private pilots license by the end of the summer </p>

<p>I am Hispanic living in one of the poorest parts of the country (across the street from border wars)</p>

<p>Its a long story, but I, (with the help of a teacher) founded a high school aviation club. One of the first in Texas, it has grown to almost 30 people in less than a semester, over 10 people have received free flying lessons and flown a plane. Recognized in the news papers, TV, school websites, and college professors from UNT have asked to speak to the club. As president and founder, I made all of this happen. </p>

<p>Other interesting things- 1st Place in the state of Texas for chess. This was 7th grade, not sure if it's relevant. I have a trophy that's almost 6 feet tall though :D</p>

<p>Taking an engineering internship at a local business next year.</p>

<p>Helped found the Ultimate Frisbee Organization at my school, one of the first members and supporters, there are no officers though</p>

<p>My job experience as a book keeper: My parents own three businesses. I have been working two years as their secretary/bookkeeper. (This isn't some slack off scam, I clocked in and out and was on payroll like any other employee) Roughly 20 hours a week. </p>

<p>My own ebay business includes buying, selling, and reselling various electronics, collectibles, and vintage products, making up to 500 a week on most successful times. </p>

<p>GPA is lacking, I know, but I'm taking 7 AP classes next year along with the internship I mentioned.</p>

<p>Schools I'm into:</p>

<p>Note I live in Texas </p>

<p>UT</p>

<p>Rice</p>

<p>UCB</p>

<p>University of Chicago</p>

<p>UCLA</p>

<p>USC</p>

<p>UF</p>

<p>ERAU</p>

<p>UCSF</p>

<p>USF</p>

<p>Boston College</p>

<p>Duke</p>

<p>FAMU</p>

<p>TAMU</p>

<p>FIU</p>

<p>Yes I know that's a lot of schools, and most are tough! But I think with my rigorous schedule and my unique EQs I could have a chance! Please chance me up and tell me what to improve and ill do yours! Thanks!!</p>

<p>Also, idk if this counts for much, but I consider myself a very out going and confident person with a likable sense of humor (others have told me so in those words). I firmly believe I will nail an interview, and write an amazing essay. I don’t know how much those things matter, but I know I will be great on those</p>

<p>UT - Match / High Match
Rice - Reach
UCB- Reach
University of Chicago - Reach ( But you have the potential to write some stellar essays, that’s what really matters here)
UCLA - Reach
USC - Reach
UF- Match
UCSF - University of California SF? That’s a graduate school only…
USF - Match / Low Match
Boston College- High Reach
Duke - Reach</p>

<p>As there isn’t really much that you can do about your GPA at this time, and your ECs look fine, the only thing you can do is raise your test scores. Also, your essays have to be excellent, make sure you convey yourself fully and honestly. Good Luck,</p>

<p>Chance me back?

<p>If you really want a chance at your reaches try to get your SAT at +2200; it’ll help show them that it really was your depression that contributed to your low GPA, and that you’re smart enough to succeed at their school. Because even though your extracurriculars are amazing, they still need to know that you can handle their school’s academics.</p>

Does match mean I should assume to get in a reach is a stretch but it’s possible? Or is reach unreadable and match is possible?</p>
