<p>I am fairly confident that you will be able to get into any of the schools that you had just stated above. Specially the sports are an added plus. For Penn State and for Ithaca, I am not sure but I normally associated them with 3.8~4.0 GPA (Or maybe I just expect too much). However, I know:
James Madison is a 100%
UVM: 100%
Ithaca: 80%
UNH: 100%
Syracuse: 80%
Clemson: 100%
George Mason: 80~100% (Just because I know Mason has some sort of superiority complex and favors out of state students, rather peculiar seeing that the rest of the schools that you mentioned are WAY above Mason’s league…)</p>
<p>However, watch out for World History, I have heard that universities now have higher standards when it comes to the AP scoring numbers: there is a 50/50% chance that they will accept scores of 3’s, 4 will make it but some circumstances, they will not accept the 4. The best chance are getting 5’s on your AP scores. </p>
<p>I would also recommend you on taking ACTs as well, I know that for SATs are very important for colleges when looking at high school applicants - I know most will accept you if your SAT scores are 1800~2000. </p>
<p>Good luck and make sure to visit the colleges when you have the chance, that’s usually what makes the deciding factor on where you plan on going. </p>
<p>thanks to everyone!
& @hsunamii that’s odd, I’ve never heard of it. I live in Maryland so it’s just convinent to have a school as close as GM. thanks!</p>
<p>I live in NoVA and so we hear a lot of “inside” information/rumor about them.
GM is only 10~20 minutes away from me and would have been really close/convenient for me. However, I’m actually enrolled in VCU’s School of Nursing because I felt that GM’s programs of studies can’t really add up to others, but that’s just my opinion. </p>
<p>Good luck and can’t wait to hear what school you choose! </p>
<p>As a Pennsylvania resident, I figure Penn State is the only school I’m qualified to chance you for haha. You’re in for most Penn State campuses. Main campus isn’t a guarantee, might be a reach for you. PSAT scores are seldom accurate, but if they are I would try to raise your SAT score a bit. Other than that, there’s not much else you need to improve upon for these schools. </p>
<p>Other than that, your course load looks fine, great EC’s with student government and varsity soccer. Good luck deciding, because you’re guaranteed for just about all of these.</p>
Unless those are your dream colleges, I’d suggest applying to a reach school. Good luck with your apps!</p>
