Chance me (pretty low GPA, decent SATs, etc.)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Applied to the following colleges:
UDel - First choice
UConn
RPI
WPI - If it helps, my brother (sophomore) is on the Dean's List taking grad courses.
SUNY Binghamton
SUNY Stony Brook
Temple (forgot about that one)</p>

<p>HS GPA: 2.9-3.0. Rising trend each year, especially from 9th grade where it was a 2.2.
Senior Mid-Terms: 3.8 GPA
Course rigor: No APs, 9 or 10 honors courses throughout HS
ECs: Very weak, only 3 things I've really done: Baseball 9-12, Golf 9-12, German Club 9-12
SATs: 1210/1600 (670 M, 540 CR); 1830/2400 (620 W)</p>

<p>Some helpful info:
4 years of German (5 incl. 8th grade)
3 years of Math (which I think is gonna break a lot of deals w/ colleges)
4 years of Science</p>

<p>I believe I wrote a pretty sweet essay, though. I've had multiple adults proofread it for errors.</p>

<p>Resident of Pennsylvania.</p>

<p>UDel - Good chance with your SAT score
UConn - Depends on class rank but out of state + low GPA = small chance
RPI - Reach
SUNY Binghamton - maybe (high match low reach)
SUNY Stony Brook - maybe (high match low reach)
Temple - decent chance (match)</p>

<p>If I was you here is what I would do.</p>

<ol>
<li>Go to a lower level college or community college.</li>
<li>Get a high GPA there (3.5)</li>
<li>Transfer to a better school, maybe UConn.</li>
</ol>

<p>Wow I have almost the exact same stats and top choice.</p>

<p>UDel - low reach - my top choice too.
UConn - reach - parents didn’t let me apply because they said I wouldn’t get in
RPI - reach
Binghamton - reach
Stony Brook - match - I applied too
Temple - match
WPI - match</p>

<p>In terms of odds, is “low reach” more likely to get accepted than “high reach?” I never understood this.</p>

<p>Also, the two things I’m really concerned with are my GPA, and the fact that I’ve only taken three math courses, highest being trig. I think this may totally screw me over.</p>
