Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>What are my chances for these schools?</p>

<p>-UConn
-University of Maine Farmington
-Pace University
-Central Connecticut State University
-Suffolk University
-University of Calgary
-Thompson Rivers University</p>

<p>I am a white female who attended high school in Connecticut.
Here are my stats:
-GPA: 2.8 (weighted)
-SAT 1550 (will be taking again in
October)
- Took honours for English and History throughout high school
-Taking AP Comp (which is taught by UConn so it's an automatic college credit)
-Taking AP Psych</p>

<p>ECs
-four years of Drama Club
-three years of GSA
- worked part time since beginning of Junior Year
-50+ hours of community service </p>

<p>The reason for my low GPA is because during my Junior year,
I had many traumatic events happen to me; my mom's alcoholism, her deathly illness, the state removing me from her house and me staying in a motel in response, coming out, my own hopitalisation and sexual abuse.</p>

<p>Please help me out. If you can, please mention colleges that I might have a good chance at getting into that aren't on this list.</p>

<p>UConn: Reach
UME-Farmington: Low match
Pace: Match
CCSU: Match/High match
Suffolk: Low match/Match
Thompson Rivers: Safety (it’s pretty much open-admissions as long as one graduates “in good academic standing”)</p>

<p>I am intrigued by your choice of TRU… I never thought I’d see it pop up on CC.</p>

<p>Make sure to mention your traumatic experience is your essay.</p>

4

<p>Thanks so much for all of your help!</p>

5

<p>But make sure you do not sound like you’re making excuses if you choose to write about traumatic experiences in a college essay (which is not required by U Calgary and TRU)…</p>

<p>No not at all! I was choosing to show how I overcame that and all that. I was also looking at U of Calgary, U of Alberta. Do you know of other Canadian schools I might have a chance at?</p>

<p>I already gave you a verdict for U Alberta; it’s a high reach (I normally reserve high reaches to the unreachable) since a B+ average is the average of the lowest American admit there.</p>

<p>U Manitoba: Safety</p>
