Hi, I was wondering if I have any chance of getting into these schools. Any suggestions on schools are also welcome.
Virginia Tech
Hillsdale
Syracuse
TCU
I have a 29 ACT composite (28 highest)
I have an 83 average unweighted in my classes. I attend a very rigorous college preparatory school. I take 4 AP’s this year, 2 last year. I have taken rigorous coursework throughout my high school career. I receive a scholarship at my school for academic achievement.
I have a leadership position, alongside being active in many clubs involving math and politics.
I compete in science competitions and participate in YMCA youth legislature.
I manage both girls and boys varsity soccer.
I’ve been interning with a local organization that aides seniors and ran their charity golf tournament over the summer.
I have a solid essay providing insight on a traumatic childhood, as well as explain why my grades have been lower recently.
I am Latino.
83/100 is a 3.3 GPA. The ACT score is fairly good. Your GPA is well below average and, in my opinion, probably won’t be enough to put you over the top. These are fairly tough schools to get into. If you study like crazy in your senior year and make all As, it could turn you into a possible borderline candidate.
