<p>Hi all, I am going to be applying to colleges this fall (HS Class of 2015) and Muhlenberg is my #1 choice school, as of right now, as I feel that I would like the area and college. I plan on applying as a Computer Science Major (Very interested in their 3-2 Program with Columbia Engineering), with Pre-Med.
Anyways, I am really curious to know if I even have a chance of getting in, and foolishly, I already scheduled a tour, interview and info session with the school later in July (I live in SoCal. so why I said it was a foolish decision is because now I am unsure if I will even be able to get into the school)
My stats are going to be 3.1 UW and 3.6-3.7 W (I have taken the toughest/most rigorous course load each year) and currently I have a 1740 SAT, and yes I do know my stats are extremely mediocre/on the low side of things, but I do plan on raising the SAT in October and I am taking the ACT in September. I will also be taking Bio, Math 2 and US History Subject tests in November, and I am confident that I will score in the high 600-700s for these. </p>
<p>Now that I'm nearing the end of my high school career I really regret how I went through it, as every year I took the toughest course load possible, when if I had taken a moderate course load each year my GPA would be a lot higher. My freshman year I took H Bio, H Eng, H Geometry, PE, Spanish 1 and Wood Shop.
My sophomore year I took H Eng 2, Chem, Alg 2, AP World, PE, Spanish 2.
My junior year I took AP Eng, AP USH, AP Art History, Spanish 3, Physics, Prep Pre-Calc
Over this summer I am taking AP Calc AB and Prep Stats (to simply get ahead)
And my senior courseload is AP Calc BC, AP Physics, AP Eng Comp., AP Comp Sci, AP Psychology, AP Gov/Econ</p>
<p>The only positive thing about my grades is that they are in an upwards trend (as personal and family issues were going on in my Fresh/Soph years, and I started to get my act together now, but that still is no excuse for my poor performance academically.) </p>
<p>As for ECs, they are fairly mediocre, I am President of 2 Clubs, with officer positions in a few other clubs, around 200 hours of community service, with some other things in there that I don't think are extraordinary. I speak two languages fluently (Hindi and English), I was born in India but moved to the US around the 3rd grade so I don't think it'll help me, my parents make ~150k, I'm a strong writer so I am confident my essays will be good along with my recommendations. </p>
<p>With those things said does anyone know of my chances for Muhlenberg college? And if it seems my chances are very low for this school, does anyone have other schools I would have a strong chance at. If all else fails, I am willing to go the CC route and transfer over to UCLA or Berkeley, hopefully. I apologize if this post was messy, and if I'm lacking any information please let me know and I'll be glad to add it on. </p>
<p>Also, for my personal interview, how should I be dressed? Thanks! </p>
