<p>Hi,
I am a junior currently and interested in applying to University of Miami early action. I sleep, eat, and dream about going to UM. I live in Florida. My 2nd choice is to apply to University of Central Florida.
My stats are:
4.25 weighted G.P.A. Rank: 15 of 520
I am Asian American
All APs and Honors from freshmen year to my coming senior year (I took Hard AP classes such as Biology, Chemistry, World History etc. and I took 3 years of Spanish)
1110 SAT(took twice and thinking to take one more time depending on the opinions I get from you guys, got a 10 on the essay)</p>
<p>Extra-cirricular include:
Vice President of future health presidents of america (3 years including if take senior year)
Historian of Spanish Club
Business Professionals of America (3 years including if i take senior year)
Chemistry Honors Society
National Honors Society
I am going to join Science Honors Society my senior year
I am going to join Weight Lifting team my senior year</p>
<p>I also have a job but I dont know if it matters or not to colleges.</p>
<p>By how many points do I need to bring up my Sats? 10-20? points? Do I have to raise my scores in a certain area? I recieved a 600 on math and 510 on reading.</p>
<p>Well I have friends who got the exact score you did and have a lower gpa than you a BUT HIGHER WIEGHTED, thing is that my high school is Coral gables high school, the high school which is directly across the street from UM so UM accepts a ton of people from my high school every year. Overall i think you have about a 65% chance of getting in, but try raising your score to atleat a 1200.</p>
<p>Everything else is great. Concentrate on getting your test scores up. Try the ACT. Your SAT does not match your class rank . At all. Search for the "Xiggi method" on this site. You'll be fine with some prep on testing. Your schedule and grades show you can do the work.</p>
<p>My unweighted gpa is 3.806 out of 4. The problem with the SAT is that I become so stressed out about it. People who know me know that I am the first person to get a test and last person to turn it in. I am just so worried that a single test will determine whether I become a janitor and not get into college or go to an ivy league school. I just can't help it. I don't want this test to control me. I am a person who likes to gamble so I am thinking just to go with what I have but if there is a great chance that I will not be accepted please let me know.</p>
There is a great chance you will not be accepted. Sorry. Try the Xiggi method. Get some counseling that helps you develop techniques to deal with test stress. Try the ACT. Don't give up. Work will help, whining won't. You can do this. Don't let it beat you.</p>
<p>Its 1110 Cr+math total. I checked up on the writing section and I discovered colleges just glance at it. They havent actually started counting it. By the way, I tried the xiggi method. It raised my score 80 points to 1110. Also please remember that I am going to apply early action. I think that is the legally binding one in which if I am accepted I have to go.</p>
