<p>We're both white males from Connecticut (in-state). It is a suburban high school that is a highly (not extremely high, but highly) rated public school.
GPA
3.2 Unweighted, 3.3 Weighted </p>
<p>Class Rank
3rd decile </p>
<p>SAT
1330/1990 in one sitting, 1370/2030 superscored</p>
<p>Difficulty of Classes
One AP, one honors, and one accelerated class (taking two AP's senior year)</p>
<p>Extracurriculars
Cofounded the political science club at my school, in a band that plays in my town at places, other things like intramural sports, and over 20 hours of community service.</p>
<p>Your SAT scores somewhat offset your rank. Your GPA is average. I would say you are right on the line, perhaps a little lower. Write a very good essay, apply early, and it will perhaps bring you over the edge.</p>
<p>Youre in, It is so much easier to get in in-state than people realize. My middle class high school sent 40 kids to Uconn, and there were several 3.0s 1020-1050/1600</p>
<p>^ One example doesn’t mean it is a universal guideline. That is, in fact, not the case at all. There must have been other factors that took part in your admission, as there are for everyone.</p>
<p>If actually found it to be the norm. Especially if you apply EA. Ive found that a 3.0 1200/1600 is pretty much a guarantee. In fact thats what our naviance says as well. I got a 1200/1600 on my sats and was probably in the top 20% of scores from my school. My friend lauren got in with a 3.0 1020. My friend mike with a 3.6 1020. My friend alexa with a 3.4 1100. There was probably out of the 40 or so kids that ended up there 20 of them with scores lower than a 1200. In -state it is not very competitive.</p>

<li><p>Again, this is a small representative group, who have more than statistics behind their belts. </p></li>
<li><p>Admissions criteria have changed a lot in the past two years.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I realize that its a small group, but the trends have been similar from our school over the past 4 or so years. Im only a freshman in college, so those trends are from last year</p>
<p>I applied on November 1 (early action), but my 1st quarter grades have been somewhat low
B in AP Econ
B+ in Physics
B- in Spanish 5
C+ in AP Stat
B- in Contemporary Lit
B+ in Earth Science</p>
<p>Is there anything I can do to increase my chances? UConn is my first choice right now.</p>
<p>S applied early action, he’s in-state, 3.8 gpa, sat 640R, 630M, 590W. He’s taking 3 AP classes sr year, took ap chem. jr year, received a 4. Has done mission work, volunteered numerous hours at church, in marching band, jazz band. What do you think his chances are?</p>
