<p>I'm a current junior in hs...
Here are my stats so please chance me:
SAT: 2260
ACT: 33
GPA: 88.4/100 (3 AP courses SOPHOMORE YEAR, I got 5's on all exams) (Yes I know its kind of low)
Activities: Dance, tennis, lacrosse, piano, violin, president of three clubs, 600+ hours of internship with doctors, science fair projects
Parents are doctors and they went to Brown and Harvard
Income: $1M+
Not applying for financial aid. (not sure if these matter but ive seen them put in the accepted students profiles here on cc)
Race: Asian
Hooks: $? (My family will not donate to get me into a school, but we are very loyal to the institutions we have attended. We have donated a lot of money to my parents alma maters, and my parents will donate a substantial amount (1m+) to the college I attend if im happy with it... but I'm not sure what is a "lot" to the admissions committee)</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry if I were you. Just have a killer essay!</p>
<p>Ok but what do you think my chances are given my low gpa?
My essay writing is really good usually, so i dont think that should be a problem</p>
<p>People actually rely on donating money to schools to be accepted? I thought that was kind of outdated.</p>
<p>Yeah the money thing makes no difference whatsoever at this stage. Don’t try to tell them that you will probably donate money in the future if you get in…that sounds a lot like bribery and I doubt the adcom would take to kindly to it.
Your SAT/ACT and ECs are pretty good. Even with a lower GPA you have a shot so long as your essays are good and you don’t screw up in the next couple of semesters. You might also consider taking some SAT subject tests to bolster your application.</p>
