<p>What are my chances (safety,match,reach)?</p>

<p>what's the breakdown on your ACT score. Did you take the SAT?</p>

3

<p>not submitted my SAT it is worse.
my ACT breakdown is as follows: writing - 22, math - 25, reading - 27, science - 26
(btw my recs and essays truly are really good i think, so i am hoping that can make up for my mediocre ACT and my school is ranked 44th of all public schools in the nation, so very competative.)</p>

<p>thanks, bump!</p>

<p>bump... do i have a good chance?</p>

5

<p>Are you 1st generation college student or Jewish?
Those would give you diversity points.</p>

<p>If not, I think you are on the cusp of match/reach.</p>

6

<p>i am jewish, yes</p>

<p>bump....!</p>

7

<p>what's the english part of your ACT? I hear most schools look closer at the english and math sections, correlating them with the SAT CR and M.</p>

8

<p>i believe if you are just sending the ACT they look at the entire ACT and all the scores within it.....ya.</p>

<p>k i would love to know my chance tehe, thanks guys!</p>

<p>My friend was wait listed (ultimately rejected) with a 3.6 (Weighted GPA) and an 1000 (M/CR SAT Score). She also had mediocre EC's and essays, but very nice recommendation letters. But the point is...with her stuff she was almost accepted.</p>

<p>You have a higher GPA, SAT/ACT scores, you have way better EC's, you are Hispanic, you're Jewish, you're out-of-state....and you are going to get ACCEPTED!!!</p>
