Chance me for Big Ten and others!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>First off, let me give some background info. I'm a white male from an upper middle class family and I live in Ohio. </p>

<p>Schools I would like to be chanced for:
-Ohio State
-Penn State
-Indiana (Kelley)
-Wisconsin Madison
-Pitt
-Alabama<br>
-Florida State
-Illinois at UC
-UNC Chapel Hill
-Cincinatti
-Maryland CP</p>

<p>---Academics---
GPA: 3.49 UW and 3.5.. W. I have only taken a few honors/APs
ACT: 28 (no studying/prep so hoping to improve!) will take SAT in fall
Rank: top 50%. very competitive private school</p>

<p>----EC's-----
-4 years varsity football.
-2 baseball.
-4 basketball.
-vacation bible school
-youth leadership program
-NHS
-a couple other clubs
-some volunteer work but not a ton</p>

<p>Leadership: organized/led youth activities at vacation Bible school at my parish every summer</p>

<p>My main EC, which has contributed to the downfall of my GPA, is a job that I have held since beginning of sophomore year. I work about 4-5 days a week, which is about 25-30 hours. Normal shift is 5-11 on weekdays, which KILLED my drive/time to do homework and study. Although I find that when I do have the time and interest, I can excel in the classroom. It's a shame that I didnt quit my job earlier to focus on school but I cant change that now. This summer I am working everyday. I have two jobs. From 8am-3pm I landscape along with delivering pizza about 4 nights a week. On average i work about 50-60 hours a week. </p>

<p>Please feel free to make some suggestions based on the schools on my list!! Reaches, matches, and safeties are all needed. All help is appreciated!</p>

<p>I didn’t prep the first time I took my ACT, then prepped and got 34. You’ll be fien as far as that goes. College park, kelley, and wisconsin are questionable, but other than that you should be fine. </p>

<p>UNC would be the only tough one.</p>

<p>Oh I was expecting Illinois, Penn state, Wisconsin, Kelley, and unc to all be reaches. </p>

<p>Anyone else? I think I need more reaches</p>

<p>Wisconsin is tough for OOS, UNC is the same. Penn St might put you in the 2+2 where you study 2 years at a not university park campus and have your last two years on the UPark campus, other than that though you should get into the others</p>
