Chances for an Underachiever

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I've been screwing around in high school and I only have a 2.2 Fr-Jr GPA. I haven't really taken school seriously and I tend to skip around half of my classes (I haven't changed anything this year as a senior). </p>

<p>I'll start by providing my "stats":</p>

<p>GPA-2.2
SAT Math-700 (I took the SATs once-I don't know if that matters, but I thought I'd provide all of the info)
SAT CR-690
SAT Writing-660</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:</p>

<p>Freshman-
FBLA
Academy of Finance
Chess Club
Honorable Mention Science Fair
JV Basketball
Student Gov. Treasury Advisor</p>

<p>Sophomore-
FBLA
Academy of Finance
Intramural Basketball
Varsity Golf</p>

<p>Junior-
FBLA
Academy of Finance
Intramural Basketball
Varsity Golf
1st Place Science Fair
Latin Club</p>

<p>Senior-
FBLA
Academy of Finance
Intramural Basketball
Varsity Golf
Student Newpaper</p>

<p>I applied to a few schools in early January that I don't think I'm going to get into now. I've decided to apply to a bunch of new schools that are easier to get into and that are still accepting applications. Let me know what my chances are:</p>

<p>University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
Indiana University
University of Missouri-Columbia
Arizona State University
Portland State University
University of Maine
University of Hartford
Florida Atlantic University
University of South Florida
University of Central Florida
SUNY at Buffalo
Michigan State University
Rhode Island College
Temple University</p>

<p>If I could go back, I would have made sure that I had at least a 3.0 in highschool and I would prepare for the SATs. Unlike most of the people on this board (from what I've read), I'm content going to pretty much any large, decent university. </p>

<p>I'm looking for honest responses. Thanks.</p>

<p>Your SATs aren't all that bad...</p>

3

<p>You'll probably find a few schools willing to take a chance on you with that SAT score.</p>

4

<p>Another option would be to attend a Community college and transfer to a school that best meets your needs.</p>

5

<p>I got 10k at temple over 4 years with a 1930 (1370 MV) and a 2.9 GPA</p>

6

<p>You have a good SAT - don't worry. You should get into some of those schools.</p>

7

<p>your sat score is very good in my eyes, not your grades though...you will def get in somewhere on that list</p>

8

<p>I'm going to bump this. If anyone knows someone who was in my situation and got into a decent school, please resond.</p>

9

<p>i am in a pretty similar situation as you are because i have been an underachiever and I messed around too much but my sat score is pretty close to you i got 2000
im thinking about takin it again in may so i can get higher score but yeah im lookin at some of the schools on your list that are still decent schools like indiana and minnesota twin cities i think you will get into atleast a few of the schools on your list and i wish you luck</p>
