Chance me for U of M?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>No real excuses for my performance... Was slacking up until junior year, so I do have an upward trend. My essays are said to be very good. I'm an asian male of florida residency, and I'm looking to do either computer science or computer engineering. Money isn't really an issue.</p>

<p>Class Rank: top 50% out of 1090
Unweighed GPA (4.0 scale): 3.1
Academic Core GPA: 3.40
Weighted GPA: 4.2
APs: AP Euro, AP Comp Sci-A, AP US History, AP English Lang
Currently taking: AP Psych, AP Gov, AP Econ, AP Stats</p>

<p>SAT: 1820, gonna try for at least 2000</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Engineering club, model un, key club, treasurer for an entrepreneur club at my school. </p>

<p>Other Schools I'm looking at (hopefully you guys can help narrow it down):
UW-M
VT
WPI
OSU
UCF
UDel</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>you have a good chance and the other schools you are in for sure</p>

3

<p>Thanks :slight_smile: Which ones would be matches / reach?</p>

4

<p>U of M: reach
UW-M: match
VT: reach
WPI: match
OSU: low reach
UCF: high match
UDel: match</p>

5

<p>Which U of M are you talking about?</p>

6

<p>University of Minnesota: Twin Cities</p>

<p>Would IU-Bloomington be a good safety?</p>

7

<p>How is your SAT breakdown?
UMN is likely a high match to low reach.</p>

8

<p>Your weighted GPA is pretty good. I think you stand a solid chance. Just work on your essays!</p>

9

<p>^ It is hard to comment on wGPA without knowing the weighing mechanism. A large gap between w and uw GPA may suggest a big bonus for advanced courses and a higher max scale.</p>

10

<p>The breakdown is:
math: 640
reading: 570
writing: 610</p>

<p>I’m not entirely sure on my schools weighted gpa system, but I believe it is out of a 6.0 scale where honors are +1 and AP is +2 (so a B in honors is = to an A in a regular coarse in the weighted gpa)</p>

<p>I’ve also been looking at UMBC, would this be a good match?</p>

11

<p>Unfortunately it looks like Michigan is going to be a pretty major reach with your current stats. Of course, that’s not to say that you shouldn’t apply if you really want to go there.</p>

12

<p>U of M: Reach
UW-M: Low Match
VT: Reach
WPI: Low Reach
OSU: Reach
UCF: High Match
UDel: Low Match</p>

<p>If you had some higher test scores or some sports you’d have a higher chance of getting in. </p>

<p>LOL. Now you see why I asked which U of M OP is referring to. He is not applying UMich but UMN.
Anyway, your GPA is still very low even for UMN. With CR+M at 1210, you probably should look at something lower and perhaps some non-flagship in state public schools.</p>
