Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi, my name is Richie and I am getting very nervous about my college chances. I would, from the bottom of my heart, appreciate any response and opinions on my chances of getting into the following colleges:
Michigan (Rollings; sending app out Nov. 1)
Wisconsin ((Rollings; sending app out Nov. 1)
Maryland: Regular decision
Indiana: ((Rollings; sending app out Nov. 1)
Syracuse: Regular decision
Georgia: Early action (already sent out app)</p>

<p>Ethnicity: White male</p>

<p>Location: NY</p>

<p>GPA: Our school gives number grades out of 100 so my weighted average from 9-11 grade is 99.604. It would therefore be a 4.0 GPA.<br>
Rank: Top 25% out of approx. 140 students (Very competitive grade)</p>

<p>SAT I: 640 math, 570 verbal, 670 writing, 11 on essay…1880 out of 2400 or 1210 math and verbal (Took SAT first time and got 1750,1120 but I doubt it matters now)
SAT II: 700 US History</p>

<p>Activities: (All from grades 9-12):
Wrestling, baseball, chamber singers, interact community service club, students against drunk driving, newspaper club</p>

<p>Awards:
All-State Chorus (I made it in 11th grade but did not make it in 12th grade)
All-County Chorus (grade 9,10,11,12)
All-County Wrestling (grade 11)</p>

<p>Community Service:
35 hours at the Boys and Girls Club (grade 9)
15 hours coaching youth basketball
and other various comm. service activities ranging from 1-5 hours long</p>

<p>Work Experience:
General counselor at the Boys and Girls Club and have my own small business on eBay. </p>

<p>AP Scores:
AP European History: 3
AP American History: 3
AP Language and Composition: 2 </p>

<p>Currently taking AP Government, AP Spanish, AP Physics, AP Literature</p>

<p>So therefore I took a combined 7 AP classes by the end of high school and the rest a majority of honors classes.</p>

<p>I think you are in at Michigan. I don't know how your GPA works, but if you have a 4.0 you will likely be accepted as long as your test scores aren't horrendous. </p>

<p>I don't get how you could have a 4.0 and be in the top 25% of your class though. You likely don't have a 4.0. If each class gives you a grade in percent, take that grade, and anything 90 or above assign an A, 80 or above assign a B, etc. Don't count non-academics. That's the grades Michigan will see. No weighted grades either. No freshman grades. An A is a 4, B is a 3, etc.</p>

<p>You are sending out your apps quite late, IMO. November for rolling will put you with the bulk of the applicants. If you can, send them out now! The earlier, the better chance. </p>

<p>I think that Indiana and Syracuse are safe for you too. Don't know much about the other schools though.</p>

<p>A2Wolves, the mid 50% SAT range at Michigan is 1240-1400. For out of staters, it is more like 1300-1450. A score under 1250 on the SAT hurts. And the OP's 4.0 GPA is unweighed. His class rank is more telling. I would actually say Michigan is more of a reach for the OP.</p>
