Chances? (Different schools than most are asking about)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am looking at the following:</p>

<p>Indiana University Bloomington
Ohio University
Bowling Green
West Virginia University
U. of Dayton
Xavier University
Syracuse University
University of Florida</p>

<p>and while I'm at it, any chance at the University of Notre Dame (with very good essays)?</p>

<p>My SAT score is 1180/1750 and my GPA is about 4.15 weighted / 3.45 unweighted. As far as extracurriculars, my only one is soccer, although I've devoted lots of time to it, playing on two teams including varsity for high school.</p>

<p>I'm a white male from Orange County, California, so nothing special there (other than out of state for all of the above)</p>

<p>Anyone care to share their thoughts?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Matt</p>

<p>you're probably fine for all of those schools, although i don't really know anything about xavier or UF</p>

3

<p>You're in at BG, my stats/gpa are nearly identical to yours and I got in.</p>

4

<p>Thanks both of you. Anyone else have any opinions?</p>

5

<p>You're in at WVU.</p>

6

<p>unless something at WVU really appeals to you...i'd say you're much better than that.</p>

7

<p>I'm looking at studying Sports Management and WVU seemed to have a decent program, and they were cheap.</p>

<p>But I'd have to say my top two right now would be OU and IU. Thanks</p>

8

<p>id say no at UF...its gotten SO competitive. my friend just got rejected this year with a 3.9 unweighted and great ECs</p>

<p>Syracuse is a match</p>

9

<p>you are in at Xavier...</p>

10

<p>thanks, any more opinions?</p>

<p>Indiana University Bloomington In
Ohio University In
Bowling Green In
West Virginia University In
U. of Dayton In
Xavier University In
Syracuse University Probably in
University of Florida Rejected</p>

<p>I'd scrap all of those except Cuse, UF and IU. UTexas is supposed to have a great sports management program, as well as Temple U. in Philadelphia.</p>

12

<p>don't scap UMass, Bowling Green and Ohio. Their SM programs are amazing.</p>

13

<p>Yeah, I'm not going to scrap any schools at this point, and if anything I will add to the list. I have a reason for each school, so I might as well share them:</p>

<p>Dayton, Xavier, Syracuse, Florida: Offer SM degrees, and are on the Tuition Exchange list, meaning there is a chance I could attend one of these for free if I'm accepted.</p>

<p>Ohio U, Indiana: Both seem to offer good SM programs, and both seem to offer what I what I want in a college.</p>

<p>Bowling Green, WVU: Both seem to have good SM programs, and they're relatively cheap. They'd likely be a "backup"</p>

<p>Notre Dame: I'm not going to get accepted, and I'd feel guilty making my parents pay for this even if I did get in, but after 18 years of aspiring to go here, I'm not going to pass it up.</p>

<p>You mention Texas as another school to look at, and a similar school is Michigan, but both are extremely difficult to get in from out of state, so if I were accepted, I'd likely be on the lower end and receive little, if any aid. Another school I thought about is Tennessee and some of the other larger state U's, but again, they're all out of state and it's tough to determine scholarships without a scale. I might drop WVU in place of a school like Oregon, Tennessee, UMass, etc though.</p>

<p>Thanks for the thoughts. Any other suggestions?</p>
