Hello everyone!
I am currently a sophomore, excepted graduation June 2019, at Community College in NYC. As the deadlines come closer to approaching I get more and more anxious about my chances into some of my dream schools. Below is a few is my stats so that hopefully some of you may offer me some insight and advice on my chances in adimissions to some of these schools.
FYI I have a list of safety schools and they are not included in this. Here are my stats:
School: LaGuardia Community College, NYC
Hook: Minority, First Gen, Immigrant, URM (under represented minority), and Low-income.
Major: Political Science - 63 credits when I graduate this Spring 2019
GPA: 3.85, projected to be a 3.88 after my winter session class
Major GPA: 3.9
Grades: 3 honors courses, got a B once and 3 A-
HS STATS
GPA: 78% - 80%
SAT: 1450–1500 out of 2400, cannot remember perfectly but around there.
FYI: During HS I faced many difficulties with my family, housing, and money. These factors led to a decrease in my grades, my attendance, and my overall attitude of school. My extreme circumstances led to me getting these grades and taking a 3 year hiatus to focus on working to support my family.
