Chances at Franklink & Marshall?

<p>My GPA is about a 3.43 UW, but it was because of only one year that brought it down due to family issues which will be the heart of my essay. Following that one semester, my grades shot back up. By the time i apply, my GPA will be about a 3.61 UW.</p>

<p>I know my SAT will be >2100 I dont know what though, and if it's lower I will take it a second time, as well as the ACT in the 30's
I will do well on the SAT II's as well - especially French</p>

<p>I went to a large public school in 9th and 10th grade.</p>

<p>I go to a private school (11th and 12th) which i think helps because of the competitive curriculum</p>

<p>Sports :
Freshman Basketball Team (9th)
JV Basketball Team (10th)
JV Soccer (9th,10th)
Snowboarding through a school program (11th,12th)
Varsity Baseball (11th,12th)
Varsity Soccer (11th, 12th)</p>

<p>Other Extracurriculars :
Math Team (9th,10th)
Quiz Team (9th, 10th)

High Scorer from the Darrow School team
Core Leader (12th)
Math Prefect (12th)
Science Prefect (12th)
Computer Prefect (12th)
Possibly an RA for the dorm and a peer counselor but maybe not (12th)</p>

<p>Volunteer Work :
200 + Hours of Volunteer Work
Habitat For Humanity - 30-50 hours
An additional 200 hours will be done this summer at a local animal shelter (SPCA) and a local hospital.</p>

<p>AP Tests :
Calculus AB - 5
AP European History 3</p>

<p>Any classes that offered honors i took.
My current private school does not offer any honors or AP classes, but is a "college preparatory" school.</p>

<p>Getting a job this summer as well...40 hours a week.</p>

<p>My essay will be phenomenal.</p>

<p>What do my chances look like?</p>

<p>Franklin & Marshall would be a likely for you, I'd say assuming you get SAT scores around 2050 (based on the high reach, reach, semi-reach, good fit, likely, safety scale).</p>

<p>sweet, thanks. i was hoping to have it as a safety</p>

<p>lol only just now noticed the typo in the title.</p>
