<p>Some of those schools depend on the programs you’re applying for, i.e. Journalism at Syracuse is more selective than Journalism at another school.</p>

<p>It looks like you only have a couple definite reaches- Syracuse, Michigan, Rutgers.
What’s your cum gpa? Also, your test scores are gonna be extremely important in the selection process. If you were to blow schools out of the water with test scores, your gpa is less important and you could probably get into all of those with great test scores. Also, the junior year is probably the most important, so try to get that 4.0</p>

<p>My grades are okay for Penn State?</p>

4

<p>I say you’d have a reasonable chance at all of those considering you show upward trend and do very well your Junior/senior year.</p>

<p>Also, make sure to study a lot for the SAT, it can save you!</p>

<p>You left out a lot of information that is necessary for chance threads. It is too soon to tell to be honest. SAT scores and Junior Grades are essential, but those D’s are going to kill you.
How do you fail gym?</p>

6

<p>Looooong story. Is Penn State reasonable?</p>

7

<p>hmmm… if you are failing gym, no offense intended, but you are looking at somewhere like a tier 2 university. sorry. WVU is best for you on that list. However if you kill your SATs etc… you might have a chance at some better schools like penn state</p>

8

<p>it wasnt a gym it was a seminar lolol</p>

9

<p>Noo Penn State is no where near reasonable. I’ve known students with A’s and B’s who didn’t get in. They all had mediocre SAT scores (around 1700) but they had better grades. Out of the schools I know about, you have a good shot at West Virginia. Penn State will be very hard esp if you’re OOS. Michigan is out of the picture.</p>

10

<p>What if I get incredible SATs?</p>

11

<p>I’m sorry but your missing out a lot of information that is necessary for chancing.</p>

12

<p>Your grades are going to kill you. However, you should be able to get into most of those schools if you do really well this year.</p>

13

<p>Colleges do not like to see Cs, Ds and Fs. Honestly, I don’t think you have the slightest chance at some of your schools.</p>

14

<p>Which ones do I have a shot at? What other big schools can I look at?</p>

15

<p>Lemme give you some constructive advice</p>

<p>SAT- 2100+ (bit low for columbia, but you need it to cover up that bad GPA)</p>

<p>GPA- Upward trend (you need major improvement)</p>

<p>Show me some EC’s… A lot of leadership</p>

<p>work hard on SAT IIs… </p>

<p>give your application a theme… e.g. business, a lot of leadership… or Polysci, Model UN</p>

<p>make friends with some teachers… ( make this choice wisely)</p>

<p>get to know your guidance counselor…reallly well!</p>

<p>set yourself a plan and stick to it…</p>

<p>BEst of luck!</p>

<p>P.S send me a private message if you have any questions</p>

<p>one or two Cs freshman year is understandable for most colleges, but when you have Ds and Fs floating around, it’s a killer. WVU is the only one I see considering you at this point. Even if your grades are phenomenal this year, you will be up against kids that not only did well Junior year, but did pretty well in 9th and 10th.</p>

17

<p>I got a 1360 on my first SAT. How do we feel now?</p>

18

<p>seriously failing something as simple as gym shows a lot of bad character, meaning laziness possibly.
(TRUST ME, I detest gym myself and if I could cut class and take the F I would, but I work for an A because it counts for my GPA.</p>

19

<p>Even if you get a 2400 (which isn’t “incredible,” really, it’s just the highest attainable score but by no means a huge accomplishment), that would just show that you’re a smart person who doesn’t work hard…</p>

<p>1360 is a horrendous SAT out of 2400
1360 out of 1600 is not a great SAT score, it won’t help your awful grades…</p>

<p>1360 (assuming we’re talking about CR+M+W) is below average, which obviously doesn’t help.</p>
