<p>Thank you, I retook them in October hoping for a 1900+ to maybe overshadow a low GPA unfortunately my GPA would be higher if I didn’t slack off so much during freshman and sophomore year :confused: oh well I’ll have to live with the consequences thanks again for your rate I will rate back :)</p>

6

<p>bump please anyone else?</p>

7

<p>bump… .</p>

<p>Seriously? Two threads and 10 bumps?
Anyway, my two cents:
Your grades are fine; you clearly improved a lot, and they like that. ECs are strong. If you do get higher than 1900 in your SATs, you’ll have a pretty decent chance at any of em.</p>

9

<p>Wow thank you, I appreciate the feedback, but I did not expect that I’d have a decent chance haha. My GPA is out of 5 so its 3.86/4… soo yeah maybe that makes a difference in your say that I have a decent GPA but I really appreciate the feedback. I am praying for a 1900 or so on my SATs on October 20th.</p>

10

<p>Depends a lot on October SAT results. Right now, your SAT scores are a bit low.</p>

<p>The upward trend is good but the C as a junior is going to hurt a bit. </p>

<p>Overall, you have pretty decent chances at BU ED and everywhere else. Definitely write some good essays.</p>

11

<p>I think my essays are written exceptionally well. I have a post asking if anyone would review them just to get some reviews. No one has done so yet. And thanks I hope my SAT scores go up too!</p>

12

<p>You are right on the brink for Penn State.

13

<p>thanks, and I definitely see that I am. How about some of my other choices?</p>

14

<p>anyone else?</p>

15

<p>BU (ED) - maybe
-Syracuse - reach
-UMD - reach
-Penn State University Park - may make Penn State but not University Park. They will want you to do first 2 years at another campus and years 3 &4 at U. parK
-Rutgers - probably, more competitive now
-Montclair - yes
-Drexel - yes
-Rider - yes</p>

16

<p>Thanks I’m praying that BU will be the one I’ll be accepted too I’m in love with it, I also included an essay on how my dad almost passed away my sophomore year and that effected my grades extremely so hopefully that helps them oversee my gpa</p>

17

<p>Anyone else? I love the feedback</p>

18

<p>what would be his chances if he got that 2000 sat score</p>

19

<p>Lol at the 2000!! Imagine that I’d be more likely accepted then I hope haha! If I ever got a 2000+ id cry joyfully</p>
