Chance Me?

<p>I sort of went through a really, really tough time these last few years and as a result my grades suffered quite a bit. I still want to go to a good college, Fordham University's Lincoln center has been my dream school for ages but I also really like some others.</p>

<p>I just finished my junior year of high school. I plan on getting straight A's senior year.</p>

<p>These are my stats:
3.41 UW GPA
3.64 W GPA (I have had 3 honors, 3 AP, 1 "advanced" class(the advanced class doesn't affect GPA weighting)</p>

<p>Other info:
-I babysat and work as a barista at a coffee shop
-Have done Speech and Debate since freshman year(and hope to be on the team at Fordham)
-Have danced since sophomore year many hours
-Volunteer for an inter cultural foundation
-Have done Baking Club sophomore and junior year, but can't do it senior year since the club no longer exists
-Have played piano since freshman year
-I tutored freshman year
-I am a first generation american
-Would want to major in Political Science, minor in Creative Writing (or just major in creative writing) and go on to Law School eventually (hopefully)
-Upward trend for grades</p>

<p><strong>Schools I Love</strong>
-- Fordham University
-- American University
-- Boston University
-- Barnard College(I'm well aware this maybe way too high of a reach, just getting opinions)</p>

<p>I'm well aware these four schools are all amazing and I likely don't have a chance. If I end up at my state university I'll be a little bummed of course but still happy of course since college is a privilege :)
Thank you.</p>

<p>I really couldn’t give an accurate analysis of your chances until you give more data, such as SATI, SATII, ACT, and senior schedule. Just remember, you always have a chance, and the worst that could happen is that you don’t get excepted.

<p>A useful scholarship, not sure if you qualify or not.</p>

<p>You have ok chances at all not reaches, or matches. SAT and essay will be determining factor.</p>

<p>I can’t really give you an estimate because every colleges look at applicants differently. Hower. just go for it and apply anyway! Don’t underestimate yourself and not apply. I did that and I really regret it. But also apply to a few safety schools just in case you don’t get in.</p>

<p>Bump?</p>
