Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello! I am just hoping to get some insight on if I making the right choices on which colleges I am applying to, thanks for any advice/tips! I understand that being a home schooler makes it more difficult to chance me but just look at me like any other student.</p>

<p>SAT Scores:</p>

<p>1st time: 1510 [CR:620, M:440, W:450, E:6]</p>

<p>3rd time: 1760 [CR:700, Math:500, W:560, E: 8]</p>

<p>Super Scored: 1810</p>

<p>I know my scores are VERY low but I will be taking one last time in Oct. and I've been studing and hopefully bring the math up to 600 and the writing up to 650, if I can I'd like to bring the CR up to 750.</p>

<p>SAT II: Literature 650</p>

<p>ACT: 26 [E 26, M 24, R 31, S 23]</p>

<p>You should be good for App, UNCC, and State. For Carolina part of the in state admissions is what county you reside in (the admissions office denies this but every teacher at my school that has gone there says that they do take this into account, as do other grads that I have talked to.) If you live in a larger county, such as Wake or Mecklenburg, I would put you at a low to mid-reach, if you don’t I would say that you are a match, so long as your essays and letter of recommendation are good.</p>

<p>Thanks I appreciate the comments, I live in a county that isn’t too big but isn’t itty bitty though.</p>
