Chance me. [Villanova, Carnegie,

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I've been getting so many answers saying that my GPA and SATs II are HORRIBLE!!! So I don't know where I am. I'm a kid with good SAT score but terrible GPA.</p>

<p>I'm looking at: ** [THIS IS MY ASSESSMENT AFTER DOING RESEARCH.] **</p>

<p>Penn State- Safety
Drexel - Safety
Villanova - Match
Georgia Institute of Technology - Low Reach
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute - Low Reach
Carnegie Mellon - ???
Northwestern - ???
Union College - ???
Northeastern - ???</p>

<p>Recommend me more Engineering colleges that are within my profile. For all of these colleges I've mention, I have the SAT scores for these colleges and to be honest, I might not have the best GPA but there are students who get accepted with a poor GPA. WHAT I DO FIND ODD THOUGH. </p>

<p>** Why is it that people are commenting on my low GPA? I checked Collegeboard and 13% of the students at Carnegie Mellon had a GPA in my range. So not everyone who gets accepted always has a perfect SAT score or a perfect GPA. ** </p>

<p>I don't know man. I still do have a chance though, even if its a slimmer and much smaller chance.</p>

<p>Well, I don’t know all the academic stats for Carnegie… but wouldn’t that mean 87% who were accepted had a higher high school GPA? Aside from your reading score though, I just checked the SAT stats and while your CR score is low your Math and Writing is fine. I guess SATs help your chances a little.</p>

<p>I love the NAVSEA and it’ll definitely help, but there isn’t much else on your resume that sticks out. Spanish Honor Society isn’t uncommon, and nor is Math League. </p>

<p>“I don’t know man. I still do have a chance though, even if its a slimmer and much smaller chance.”</p>

<p>This quote sums up everything.</p>

<p>Northeastern you’ll be fine.
Union College… idk this college but your SATs match the range.
Carnegie is a reach.
Northwestern is tougher than Carnegie imo… so good luck.</p>

<p>Nice to know someone who knows NAVSEA. Loved it too. I didn’t get to go this year though.</p>

<p>Anyways, I know my SAT scores are either above of on the higher end of the scales. I’ve checked. Thats why I don’t know where I stand. I’ve taken some hard courses. I have a bad GPA but slightly above the average SAT scores. Are there any guys like me out there that have gone through this already? I mean. I see all these posts about people who have gotten a good SAT score and good GPAs. I’m kind of unique.</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon is my dream school and the one thats way above the rest. I’m aiming high. Northwestern was just an extra. I was considering it as one of my two reach schools, along with Carnegie.</p>

<p>Anybody else? Cut out Northwestern and include Syracuse. I’m using</p>

<p>Safeties
Penn State,
Northeastern,
Union College,
Drexel </p>

<p>Match
Syracuse
Villanova
Georgia Institute of Technology
Rensselaer Polytechnic college [Iffy about this one. 76% male. Not looking too good]</p>

<p>Reach
Carnegie Mellon
-“1 more reach school”-</p>

<p>I want to apply to 10 colleges. What do you think? Do you agree with my assessment?</p>
