Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello, I am currently a rising senior with a 3.75 GPA and a ACT breakdown of 33-E,32-M,32-R,33-S, 32-C.</p>

<p>I could take the ACT again or I could keep my scores right now, but what are my chances at UNC (Out of state), UGA (in state), NYU, University of Michigan, Northwestern, UVA, and University of Washington.</p>

<p>Feel free to recommend any other schools, I am undecided but am interested in Journalism. I could potentially go to any school. Also feel free to give any tips on how to strengthen my application. Thanks!</p>

<p>I have a solid amount of volunteer hours, I have climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, backpacked in Bolivia and Peru, I play piano, and I have some legacy at UNC and NYU. </p>

<p>Don’t include the pricey vacations on your application. It will make you seem privileged and hurt your chances at admissions. </p>

<p>I think it’s beneficial to mention that I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.</p>

<p>Bump</p>

<p>Your ACT is good but your GPA is a bit low. That may hurt your chance at UMich.</p>

<p>Sounding priveleged isn’t bad for NYU. It tells them you can afford it without financial aid. So they can suck you of as much as they can get. </p>

<p>Umich would be low reach due to low GPA and slightly above average ACT for an oos student.
NU is a reach.
UGA safety to low match.</p>
