chances at my list of colleges(7) just keep it simple

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>SAT- 2050 (700 critical reading, 680 math, 670 writing)</p>

<p>SATII- Math IIC- 730 US History- 790 Literature- 650</p>

<p>GPA- I have a 95.5 average, which I believe equals a 4.0 This is without adding 5 points to every AP class I've taken, which is what I've heard some schools do.</p>

<p>APs- 5 on European History, 5 on US History, 5 on English Literature</p>

<p>Taking AP Calculus, AP Italian, AP Government/Politics, AP Biology, and AP English Composition this year, as well as Economics(12th grade that is)</p>

<p>Extracuricular- Varsity Tennis 4 years, National Honor Society, and a whole lot of other stretched out b.s. including one year of varsity wrestling.</p>

<p>I'm finalizing my college list, just tell me what you think of these schools</p>

<p>1) Cornell- Big reach, even with early decision which I will do, but Cornell has been discussed on this forum, so no need to go into details.</p>

<p>2) U of Illinois at Urbana Champaign- A reach school because I'm out of state and it is very good, what chances do I have?</p>

<p>3) Northwestern University- A reach as well, but not impossible to get into, what chances here as well?</p>

<p>4) Georgia Inst. Of Technology vs. Virginia Tech- Which one is easier to get into, for me, Georgia Tech has the better major, so if it's easier to get into G. Tech then VA, I'll go to Geogia.</p>

<p>5) University of Delaware- Kind of an oddball, I'd rather switch this up with a school that is easier to get into, but I have no clue as to what my chances would be at this school?</p>

<p>6) My first safety, but a good school, Rochester Institute of Technology, I'm pretty sure I can get into this school no problem, I was also invited to an info session of theirs and I went.</p>

<p>7) Last but not least, SUNY (state u. of NY) Buffalo. My mom said Buffalo sucks because she lived there and the school is just full of Asians studying pre-med 12 hours a day. That's a direct quote btw, but it seems that it wouldn't be too hard getting into Buffalo and it's actually a decent school.</p>

<p>Anyhow, that's about it, hopefully I'm not shooting too high or in the wrong place, but if you're bored and you want to help me out, go ahead.</p>

<p>A 95.5 average doesn't equal a 4.0, unless every class you took, you got a grade of 93 or above. Find out your true GPA, take only your 5 academic classes (Math, Science, History, English, Foreign Language), and get grades on a 4.0 scale (A= 93+, A-= 90-93, B+= 87-90)</p>

<p>You will likely have a above a 3.8 GPA. Test scores seem good for any school that isn't an ivy. You would just be an average applicant at Cornell, and those have around a 30% chance of admission, making it a reach for you.</p>

<p>Illinois seems like a great fit for you, you are a well qualified applicant who should be admitted. Good chance there, your test scores are above the majority of the applicants.</p>

<p>ok north american free trade agreement, if those are the onLY ECs you have, you will certainly be rejected at Cornell, UIUC and northwestern</p>

4

<p>You have a decent shot at Cornell, simply because it's such a huge school, but they tend to weigh testing a lot. You might want to consider raising your SATs if possible (or trying the ACT). And is UofDelaware that hard to get into? I haven't done any research, but I assumed they'd be a safety for someone of above-average stats like yourself. </p>

<p>And your ECs are kind of nonexistant...you might want to find some reasoning for this (were you really involved in your classes? did you have to take care of your elderly grandmother? etc.) because colleges are going to expect a lot more than tennis.</p>

<p>Don't worry about ECs, they're gonna be boosted greatly, plus I did not mention some too. If you have any suggestions for schools with civil engineering in my range, then by all means, make changes to my list.</p>
