<p>chance me plz</p>

<p>Tufts, USC, Villanova, Boston College are a no, sorry.</p>

<p>"Tufts, USC, Villanova, Boston College are a no, sorry. "</p>

<p>well.... i kinda saw that coming... i ment to list wake forest... but i was hoping for a percentage shot at those so i can have a sorta hope.... but thanks for killing it.. but seriously could i get some ratings for other colleges please?</p>

<p>Unlikely:
Tufts
USC
Villanova
BC
uPitt</p>

<p>Very High Reaches:
UWisconsin-Madison
UIUC
Indiana University
Marquette
Syracuse</p>

<p>The rest are either possible or I do not know enough about the schools</p>

<p>unless you get the sat up to above 2300, tufts took a kid with a 3.0 and 2200 during ed</p>

<p>Marquette-Reach
Drexel-Reach
CU-Boulder-Reach
Syracuse-Reach
UPitt-Prolly not
Oregon (this is the one college i have heard i have a shot at and i love Oregon)-Match/Low match
Arizona- Match
Northeastern- slight reach
Loyola in Chicago- slight reach
Boston College-No chance
Boston University- Huge Reach
CSU? (i guess... i dont really know which CSU is the best academically... the best academic CSU i suppose)- ur prolly in at most CSUs
Villanova- Biggest reach i have ever seen quite possibly.... but hey w/e floats ur boat
UWisconsin-Madison- Huge Reach
USC- Nope wait is this the biggest?
UIUC- Huge reach
Indiana University- Slight Reach
OH State- Columbus right? Reach
Tufts (ED2)- Impossible, but why not give it a shot i guess</p>

<p>well if u actually do plan on applying to ALL these places i can pretty much guarantee that u will get into one... w/e CSU u apply to will be ur safety i guess... so u are guaranteed a school from me but i can also pretty much guaranteed you will be recieving more rejections then acceptances... i would guess you will probably get accepted into about 4 or 5 of the colleges u are applying to which should give you atleast some choice</p>

<p>Thanks again RSMATTU, does anybody else have an input?</p>

<p>anybody else?</p>

<p>The best academic CSU is cal poly and you're probably a slight reach or match, depending on how they view your gpa.
USC is probably a reach as well..cause of the GPA.</p>

<p>I kinda understand that applying to Tufts and USC is rediculous, but still, could I get some chances on the colleges I have a decent shot at like hopefully Northeastern or Oregon. Maybe some chances at Arizona. I know my SAT scores are below average for collegeconfidential and my GPA might be the lowest ever, but my SAT scores have to be good enough to get me somewhere that i listed. </p>

<p>Chances plz</p>

<p>We are the same person.</p>

<p>Literally.</p>

<p>Well, I have 20 points lower on my SAT (but our reading and math scores are identical). And my GPA is .40 higher, but it's still kind of weird how similar we are, lol.</p>

<p>Your SAT is fine, your grades are not. Grades usually have more value then test scores at schools, especially top ones.</p>

<p>^^^i'm not quite sure about that.</p>

<p>you might get in at madison, not sure about the others.</p>

<p>Wait are you serious about Wisconsin? Are you just joking about that, if i can get into Madison you may have just breathed life back into my college enthusiasm.</p>

<p>Anybody else?</p>

<p>UW-Madison Admission Expectations</p>

<p>Looks like you have a 20% chance on the guidelines chart. You could try to explain your GPA (if there is an explanation) in the second essay on the application.</p>

<p>i am definitely in the same boat as you! Not so hot gpa but getting a decent score on the SATs
CU boulder and northeastern are my top schools </p>

<p>but i think you have a shot
i mean its not all GPA and i think your SAT is amazing.
The boulder admissions office told me that an essay is something that can really decide if someone will be accepted or not.</p>

<p>hope that helps!</p>

<p>i suggest you apply to Arizona State. You already got admitted into the school with a 2040. because the gurantee is a 24 ACT, 3.0 gpa, top 25% of class, or 1110/1600 on SAT. all you have to do is meet one of those. business, journalism and engineering are the top programs at ASU. i'm from oregon and think you have a good chance. ur SATs are great for Oregon. since you don't have a 3.0 gpa u need to meet the admission requirement at oregon to apply. and u met it! the SAT u needed was 1110/1600. so i think you have a great shot. i think you have a great shot at indiana. ur SAT will help level out your GPA. don't listen to the ppl on this site all the time. they think if you don't have a 4.0 and 2400 that your no good. i think you have a great shot at the schools i listed. chance me in return? <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/588723-have-fun-chancing-me-will-chance-return.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/588723-have-fun-chancing-me-will-chance-return.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Drexel - Match
CU-Boulder - Match
Syracuse - Match
UPitt - High Match/Low Reach
Oregon (this is the one college i have heard i have a shot at and i love Oregon) - Match
Northeastern - low reach
Loyola in Chicago - high match/low reach
Boston College - reach
Boston University - reach
Villanova - low reach
USC - high reach
Indiana University - high match/low reach
Tufts (ED2) - reach
Maybe it's just the fact that I live in the very near viscinity but girls from my school who have slightly higher GPA's, far lower SAT's, and a much easier load have gotten accepted to Nova and Pitt so that is why I think you have a fairly good chance as opposed to everyone else on this thread.</p>

<p>have you thought about depaul university at all? it's in a better area than loyola chicago and seems to have a decent reputation.</p>
