<p>Chances to Oregon:</p>
<p>GPA: 2.44
SAT: 1240/1600
EC's: Sports, baseball, football, gym, and coaching basketball for CYO 4th grade
OOS for both
Class Rank is 40 percentile, just below 50 percentile</p>
<p>Did you write a good essay explaining why your GPA was below 3.0? That is quite important.</p>
<p>I wrote a pretty good personal statement, we did it for school and was well edited, got a 56/60. For the special circumstances, I explained how moving right before Frosh year affected me. Went throguh a light form of depression, eating disorder. I really like Oregon and hoefully can find a way paying for the school if I got in without giving up an arm and a leg.</p>
<p>Sorry that I haven't responded sooner. </p>
<p>Have you heard if you got in? My son, an out of state student got in with a 2.9 and a 1210 out of 1600 on the SATs. I am sure his letter was what helped.</p>
<p>oregon has a high acceptance rate dad. But still a great school as well. I applying with a a 3.1 gpa and a 1000 Sat (Poor, I know)</p>
<p>Really, you already got in with a 2.9 GPA? I thought they put all the applicants with GPAs under 3.0 t oreview in March. I have to wait till then, even if I get in it may be hard to afford the school, we'll see, I may end up going to Chico State.</p>
<p>Oregon is a great school AWM. I would defentily wait.</p>
<p>Oregon will probably accept you... although an essay thats depressing is not the best way to convince counselors, but as long as it is meaningful and explanatory.<br>
Definitely worth it.
Plus, most of the time you'll get more financial aid if you apply later... my experience.</p>
<p>awm, i live in chico, don't pass that up, chico state is so incredibly awesome. i go there right now as a hs senior - it's amazing. im sure you've been there already though...</p>
