<p>What are my chances of getting in?</p>
<p>Penn State - University Park
Northeastern
NC State
Hofstra
Auburn
Temple</p>
<p>If you guys have any other suggestions please help me out, thanks.</p>
<p>ill help lol
ur aiming quite low in my opinion but anyway:
Hofstra: 99% chance
Northeastern: 80% chance
NC State: 80% chance
Penn State: 75% chance
Temple: 99%
AuburnL: 99%
Assuming u do well on ur SATS</p>
<p>Dude ur aiming low. Im gonna suggest a few schools:
- UF
- Univ of Miami
- Boston University
- George Washington
- Virginia Tech</p>
<p>Thanks for the help but with my low SAT score and low unweighted GPA (3.3) I am not so sure if I can get into some of the scores you suggested.</p>
<p>I have heard from the Northeastern forum that it is a reach for me. Thanks for the help though, I really appreciate it and will look into G-Wash, BU and VT.</p>
<p>Dont listen to everyone. CC is full of frustrated pecimistic ppl who say everythign is a reach. I was told at the beginning that most of my schools were reaches cuz i too had a low gpa (3.1), I applied to very selective schools and didnt get rejected. </p>
<p>Northeastern is not a reach for u and u should definately apply. If u write a great essay and send lots of letters of reference, u should get it.</p>
<p>Oh yea, dont apply to the following cuz they are not that good :P.</p>
<ul>
<li>hofstra: located in the boring LI suburbs. nothing to do around. </li>
<li>Temple: good school and in philly which is nice. but what nobody tells u is where in Philly it is. its in the ghettos of philly. seriously, u walk one block from campus and ur in really dangerous areas of philly. if u want philly look into Drexel.</li>
<li>Finally Auburn. Auburn is good school but why would u wanna go to Bama. If u wanna look into places that are in the deep south, look into Florida or Georgia. UGeorgia, UFlorida, Florida State, UMiami are all great schools with way better prestige than AUburn, with exeption to FSU which is about the same, but all are in way better locations than that of Auburn.</li>
</ul>
<p>JETSX, dont listen to them, most of the schools are possible for u.
Look Ill show u my stats for u to see im not bluffing.
i had a 3.1 and 1660 on the SAT. Excellent essays (I sent two), 4 excellent letters of reference (owner of school, principal, counselor and teacher), excellent ec's, sent a 4 pg resume of activities.</p>
<p>I applied to the following schools and got the following responses:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Ohio State University: accepted, 7,000 dollar OOS scholarship, didnt make the biz school though :(</p></li>
<li><p>Purdue: accepted and accepted at biz school</p></li>
<li><p>Michigan State: accepted</p></li>
<li><p>Indiana: accepted</p></li>
<li><p>Loyola: accepted</p></li>
<li><p>University of Miami: accepted!!! BOOOYA!!! got into their biz school and an 11,000 dollar aid package.</p></li>
<li><p>University fo South FLorida: deffered, awaiting response. can u believe those two timing snakes? out of all the schools the safety school defers me. lol</p></li>
<li><p>American University: accepted into biz school. </p></li>
</ul>
<p>As u can see Jet, all these schools are pretty selective.
I had a ton of ppl telling me Umiami was a reach and by no means was i going to get in. I ended up getting in. I am a Florida Resident by birth however since i did high school outside the U.S, Miami considered me international which helped me.
I suggest u apply to the ones i reccommended. Vtech, GWU, and BU are not total reaches.
The one thing i regreted was not applying to more schools in Florida. I only applied to UM. after all it was my first choice, but now that I dont wanna leave Florida I pretty much have one choice cuz USF deffered me to waitlist. Eitherway im happy and Miami was wat i wanted.</p>
<p>LOl the PSAT is a fake. U wanna know wat i got :P
laugh because everytime i think of it, i laugh. I got a 17% which is the equivalent of a non acceptable grade for the State of Florida.
on the real one i got an 1100/1660.
the PSAT is just so full of flaws.</p>
