Chance Me Please?!?!?!?!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>i'm only a junior, but i would like to start thinking about some colleges in the future. I go to a really good school in Georgia. we were a blue ribbon school in 1995. im an asian male, with satisfactory grades. Match me to the following schools:</p>

<p>Georgia Tech
UGA
Emory (reach?)
UGPA: 3.2
WGPA: 3.68</p>

<p>SAT I: 2050/2400 (i will be retaking this)
SAT II Math: 720
SAT II US History: 680</p>

<p>Freshman - 5 honors classes, 1 on level class (spanish)
sophomore year - 3 APs, 2 Honors, 1 on level class (trig)
Junior year - 4 APs, 2 honors (i got good grades this semester)
and next year, for the first semester, i am taking 5 APs and one honors</p>

<p>my freshman year, i had a very bad GPA, having 1 C in my honors class first semester. second semester was th same, except i didn't get any Cs</p>

<p>my sophomore year, i had a worse GPA, having 2 Cs, 1 D (in my honors math class) and 3, bs. second semester, i got a B in trig, but got a C in my ap world class</p>

<p>my junior year was amazing. Last semster, i got 2 As, (one of those in Calc AB , AP), and four Solid Bs. This semester, i'm getting 3 (possibly 4) As, one in ap spanish, sp calc, and honors lit. </p>

<p>As you can see, my GPA follows this trend by semester:
2.8, 3.0, 2.5, 2.5, Junior year with 4 APs: 3.33, 3.5. junior year i had more APs, and a higher GPA. </p>

<p>Over the summer i interned for a very well-known company...and so far i have amassed around 200 community service hours. i got a 30 on my ACTs. I played fall tennis for my high school, and broke into the top 100 in the state last year. i have won 4 tournaments, and plan to hopefully win more. i played for the junior varsity academic bowl team, and varsity academic bowl team, and next year, i will be on the Varsity academic bowl team that will get to go to nationals. my course work is rigorous, and this year i was able to prove that i am capable of coping with the pressure, by increasing my gpa by getting better grades.</p>

<p>please chance me! thanks, cuz i'm getting really worried, and i want to have a good summer.</p>

<p>You probably are a reach at UGA and GT thanks to the HOPE... Sucks man. I'm in the same position.</p>

3

<p>woah? georgia is a reach for me? even after my improvement in grades? i heard that quite a few poeple get in regardless of hte low GPA like mine. like on some other thread, a guy said he knew like 7 people who got in with 3.0s and 1100s on SAT?</p>

4

<p>and what do you mean "thanks to the hope"?</p>

5

<p>Even with your improvement in grades, I would still say it's a high match/low reach. Your SAT is good, and will improve even more. Do you know what your HOPE GPA is, by chance?</p>

<p>The days of UGA being a 3.0/1100 school are gone, buddy. I'm not sure what that guy was talking about. With the HOPE Scholarship, UGA's reputation and prestige have skyrocketed. At my school, you need around a 3.8 W and a 2000 to have a shot (and I go to a leading private in ATL). Definately apply, because you never know, but be advised that it is anything but a given.</p>

6

<p>yea, i think around 3.3 or so, - my hope scholarship GPA. some guy from my school got accepted with a 3.18. oh and i forgot to add that in a competition for academic bowl, our school placed in th top 15 in the nation...not that that will help or anything. what does high match/low reach mean...i think i have a pretty good idea of what they mean, but i don't want to get my hopes up.</p>

7

<p>It means that you probably have a 50/50 chance of getting in. I'll change my mind and say UGA is a match, but it is in no way a safety for you.</p>

8

<p>I'm surprised you're not looking at Vanderbilt. They are trying their heart out to woo in some Asians. Just call them and speak with an accent.</p>

9

<p>palmettotree...are you serious? i wouldn't mind applying for them, they are a really good school, but i would need some serius financial aid to go there.</p>

10

<p>UGA being a match is a really good thing. because i don't want to go to some crappy college, like ga perimeter or something. and UGA is a really good shcool, except i do see a lot of kids with average grades, like mine, but with relaly ok classes, liek all honors and 1 AP, get into UGA. hm....</p>

11

<p>Because you have so many honors and APs, I think you'll get in. Otherwise, it'd be a real toss up.</p>

12

<p>I am very serious cplay. Last I checked Vandy has by far the lowest Asian% among the top 20 or so (in fact, I think it's about the same as UGA to give you an idea). I'm no stats expert so I could be far off the mark here, but basically, from what I hear, practically all the Asians that Vanderbilt recruits end up turning them down for whatever reason. You'd probably get a boatload of financial aid; worth a shot.</p>

13

<p>66% of students at Vandy are on fin. aid. Go for it!</p>
