Chance me UIUC?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hi! I am currently a junior in a competitive school in Virginia (saying this because my GPA is very deflated). I’d really like to get into an instate school, but I’m thinking about out of state like UT Austin, and Boston University.

Current Cumulative GPA (up till sophomore year, 5.0 scale): 3.945 (probably worst part)
SAT (2400): haven’t taken yet but I’m anticipating above 2200
PSAT (2015): 1510/1520 (760 english, 750 math) --> pretty sure I would be a National Merit Finalist with that score
SAT II Math II: 770
SAT II Biology: 740
AP Calculus AB: 5
AP Biology: 3

Current APs: APUSH, AP Calculus BC, AP Macro/Micro, AP Chemistry
Senior Classes: AP Gov, AP Psych, AP Statistics, Geosystems, AP English Lang,

Extra Curricular:

  1. Internship at Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program (SEAP), where I did my own research and helped out with my mentor’s as well. This was before my junior year and I am planning and coming back this summer as well.
  2. Amnesty International Historian (junior)
  3. Relay for Life
  4. Model UN (won multiple awards at international conferences)
  5. National Honor Society

Unfortunately, I also have one referral due to a mistake I made freshman year. It didn’t affect me at all, just a conversation with my counselor, but will colleges not want me because of this.

Well it definitely depends on what you’re planning on studying, but you probably have a chance at UIUC. As for UT and BU, I wouldn’t get my hopes up. Your GPA is bringing ou down.
Chance back?

First convert your GPA to a 4.0 scale, then report back:

A+=4.0
A=4.0
A-=3.7
B+=3.3
B=3.0
B-=2.7
C+=2.3
C=2.0
C-=1.7
D+=1.3
D=1.0
D-=0.7
E=0.0

It’s around 3.54 on a 4.0 scale. @umcoe16

It’s going to be a long shot, but if you have been having a strong upward trend, then that can help.

I’d say your GPA is a little below the sweet spot for both schools, but assuming you rock the SAT it’s still a possibility. How did you even apply without test scores?

I’m still a junior and I have time to take the SAT @consuela1019
