<p>Im really nervous b/c i know my grades are low but im just wondering what your opinions are?</p>
<p>GPA: 3.05 (class doesnt rank, would be average though)
Weighted: 3.33
SAT: 1070, 1600/2400
2 APS, 4 honors
Very commited to 2 clubs and played baseball
Many other EC's
Very good essay in my opinion</p>
<p>Father was an alumni, played baseball their on a scholarship, not sure how much that helps</p>
<p>Less than average chance.</p>
<p>If anyone got accepted or denied with similar grades to me i would like to know as reference… also if anyone knows if having a parent that is an alumni helps your chances. Thank you for anyone that gives me feedback!</p>
<p>Being a “legacy” helps, but your SAT is low.</p>
<p>Thanks for your feedback, i just hope they will overlook that b/c uconn is my top choice by far… maybe i will get deferred or waitlisted at least</p>
<p>You’ll be fine… A girl in my grade got in… She has all lower stats then you</p>
<p>You really think so? I am out of state if that makes any difference and from looking at different websites and stuff, it seems like everyone applying to Uconn has ridiculous grades and Sats scores. Has Uconn really become that good of a school?</p>
<p>My view is UCONN is underrated in college rankings… one CC poster mentioned the satellite campus stats drag it down and if the Honors program was ranked separately it would be very highly ranked …</p>
<p>The Philosopher </p>
<p>Are you connected to the University in any capacity ? You sound like you are. Does having a sibling at the University help in the admission process ?</p>
<p>Having a sibling at UConn has little to no bearing on admission, unless that sibling distinguished him/herself. </p>
<p>In the future, please ask separate questions in a separate thread.</p>
<p>it is irrelevant if the sibling distinguished themselves or not while a student … it only matters if they are an alumnus (you get legacy admin points) … remember UCONN is huge and many kids distinguish themselves all the time so hard for admissions to track and then how can they differentiate … </p>
<p>Good Luck !</p>
<p>cckerry, that is incorrect. For one, admissions is not run on a points-based system. Secondly, there have been instances of admissions support when a sibling has distinguished him/herself (think national scholarship scale). Siblings who attend are future alums.</p>
<p>thePhil points is just a phrase … NET is legacy helps differentiate applicants … on other point about siblings you are unfortunately mistaken … they are not Alums until they graduate so no legacy status … </p>
<p>Also admissions is not staffed to micro analyze each applicants siblngs and they do not need to as their system works very well as is … </p>
<p>Good Luck I hope you get in !</p>
<p>In admissions, “points” is not just a “phrase.” Some admissions departments at particular schools do use a points-based system. UConn does not. </p>
<p>A distinguished sibling of that scale is well known to the admissions department without any “micro-analysis,” and takes note of closely related individuals who apply.</p>
<p>Thephil </p>
<p>again unfortunately you are mistaken on both points and you may want to re-read my posts … </p>
<p>in any case if a re-read does not help your understanding then let’s simply agree to disagree…</p>
<p>despite that I still hope you are accepted !! </p>
<p>Happy Holidays!</p>
<p>I am not mistaken, cckerry.</p>
<p>If I were you I’d try using an online college chance calculator such as the one on ■■■■■■■■■■ or parchment.com to give yourself a bit of an idea of where you stand!</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for your help and su1pport, still no word on a decision so i will post when i find out… happy holidays to everyone!</p>
<p>ThePhil, thx for modifying your last comments as they were a bit rude, disrespectful and childish… I have had bad days too so I understand how one might act that way … </p>
<p>so let’s agree to disagree… </p>
<p>I really do hope you get in to UCONN, I hear it is a great school ! </p>
<p>Happy Holidays !!</p>
<p>I would say average also, the storrs campus gets harder to get into with each passing year. This is it is always good to put a second uconn campus on your application. Assuming you have strong ec with your legacy you should be fine.</p>
