Hello,
I’m wondering if someone could tell me my chances of getting accepted into the following schools:
- Virginia Tech
- University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (I know, this is VERY high reach)
- University of Wisconsin-Madison
- Ohio State University
- Rutgers
- University of Pittsburgh
- Pennsylvania State
I would be very appreciative if someone could tell me their thoughts.
Academics:
- Full IB Diploma Program Student
- 3.93 GPA (Unweighted)
- 4.25 GPA (Weighted)
- Top 7.5% of the class
- Mostly IB classes (obviously), though I took “three” AP classes (I dropped one due to a change of interest)
- IB Chem. (HL), IB Math Studies (SL), IB History (HL), IB Language and Literature (HL), IB Spanish (SL), IB Anthropology (SL), AP Comp. Govt, AP European History, AP Computer Science (the one I dropped), Theory of Knowledge
Tests:
-1320 on the “New” SAT, HOWEVER, if super scoring is allowed, I have a 1360
- 29 on the ACT, HOWEVER, if super scoring is allowed, I have a 31
- 710 on the World History SAT
Extracurriculars:
- Archeological internship program at George Washington’s boyhood home: 11th, 12th
- I design and build computers: 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th
- Website design: 9th, 10th 11th, 12th
- I do Olympic-style weight-lifting and bodybuilding: 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th
- FBLA: 12th (I probably won’t put this on applications due to the short amount of time that I have participated in it)
- My parents’ work schedules don’t allow me to stay after school for any extracurriculars (the internship required a LOT of maneuvering)
Extras:
- Counselor is able to write a very positive recommendation
- Interest in History and Government
- Sadly, as a resident of Virginia, I am out of state for all of them except VA Tech
Unknown:
- Admittedly, I received a minor (Junior Year) suspension for disrespecting a teacher after I received a bad grade in 11th grade; thankfully, the principal has generously agreed to write a letter stating that it shouldn’t be a deciding factor in admissions since it was minor and a mistake that I took full responsibility for.
Any feedback would be extremely helpful! I was just deferred by William and Mary so I’m somewhat panicking right now. Thanks!
