I have a 3.9/5.0 weighted GPA. High amount of AP/IB clasees, decent EC’s, very solid essay and a 1420 on new SAT.
What are my chances for Tulane, BU, Northeastern, Wake Forest, University of Michigan?
If i apply to all these will I at least get into one?
Will chance back!
Chance threads ain’t what they used to be. You have the stats for all of them, but stats often are not enough these days. I am knowledgeable only about Tulane, and Tulane wants you to show a deep knowledge of the school, enthusiasm for its academic offerings, and some inkling of how those offerings fit into your future as you currently see it. They want to see a demonstrated interest in community service, which of course leads to the question that many will have as they reply to your query: what do your extracurricular s ook like, more specifically? A keen interest in international studies, foreign languages and a desire to take advantage of the great Junior Year foreign studies program at Tulane is also highly valued by the admissions committee. Finally, the current Tulane administration is really focusing on interdisciplinary studies, so if you can be creative about combining disparate majors into something coherent that works for you, all the better.
And by the way, you should be very proud of those stats. They put you in the upper echelon of students nationwide. Don’t let the chatter on this site make you lose sight of that. Best of luck to you!
Thats interesting, thank you! Im interested in foreign studies, I am hispanic and speak spanish, so hopefully it will help to talk about that in the supplemental essay
Slim chance for all 5 unfortunately.
@AFutureStudent whats your reasoning? I would like to know what to improve
