<p>So I received a letter of acceptance from St. John's CLAS today, with 21,000 in aid. I know UConn is higher than UConn, but not by too much. Therefore, taking this acceptance into consideration with the following info, am I likely going to get into UConn CLAS for history? It remains my top choice, even with this welcomed acceptance fro SJU. </p>
<p>White Male from Southwestern CT (Fairfield County)
3.37 weighted GPA
1880/1280 SAT
185/131 PSAT
top 1/4 of class
VERY rigourous schedule, 11 Honors/ 6 APs combined through 4 years, including 4 APs this year
3 on AP US History and Government Exams
Very good essay, very good recs, and an average amount of extracurriculars
also applied to, in order of expected difficulty: NYU, Fordham, Trinity (double legacy), Drexel, Fairfield, Pace. </p>
<p>Thanks in Advance for any input, positive or negative.</p>

<p>I would say you’ll get in. You don’t live in a branch town and your stats are very good. I’m also applying as a transfer now for my sophomore year.
Your stats were similar to mine in high school (3.4 GPA, 1800 SAT) and I got deferred to a satellite campus. But you have more extracurriculars, much more AP credit (I had 7 transferable credits when I was rejected from Storrs). </p>
<p>For in state kids I believe UCONN looks more at your grades than the rigorousness of your schedule, I also had a rough schedule last year (AP Chem, AP Literature, honors everything else) and didn’t get into Storrs. We had a couple shockers in terms of kids that were sent to a satellite campus. But I think that also has to do with our location (we live in a branch campus town).</p>
<p>As far as the other universities, I have friends that go to two of them so I’ll weigh in.</p>
<p>NYU- Two kids from my graduating class, were in top 20 of 243, one of which was a Division III swimmer and gifted academically. The other was the executive president of our school’s SGA and received a full ride to Syracuse as well. So these are the types that NYU takes. That is, I don’t want to be mean. Don’t have high hopes.</p>
<p>Fairfield- I am very confident that you will get in. One of my best friend’s goes here (loves it by the way). He had a much lower SAT score than you with a similar GPA and no extracurriculars and one AP class total throughout high school.</p>
<p>Good luck to you and congratulations on St. Johns as well! (The kid I know who goes there also loves it!)</p>
<p>hi i can help you out with chancing you for uconn based on my acceptance! i have a 3.5 gpa weighted an a 2110 SAT which is not to far away from your stats! i believe you have a good chance for getting in to uconn:) good luck</p>
<p>thanks for the help!! obviously, with some people getting acceptances today, i’m even more on edge, and haha yeah, NYU was my definite reach. but even on the small chance i got in, i think i would still go to uconn…</p>
