this is my top choice for school</p>
<p>U Delaware is fine to have as a reach but it is just that: a reach.</p>
<p>Try a test-optional school on top of U Delaware…</p>
<p>Universoty of Deleware is a reach. You need to get your SAT up. Your GPA should be fine. Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1426652-ohio-state-chances.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1426652-ohio-state-chances.html</a></p>
<p>Try the ACT…</p>

<p>chance me too?</p>

<p>Haven’t thought about essay yet - it’s kind of early lol
I feel like this ‘resume’ is kind of short, may be forgetting something. Ask for extra details
Will chance back, thanks for taking your time here</p>
<p>I’m not trying to be mean here, but @drofnats, are you kidding by asking for a chance here? You’re in without a doubt in my mind, and UD is a clear safety for you.</p>
<p>With that GPA and SAT score there are very few places that would not take you. Throw in your extra-curriculars are there are even fewer places that would say no to you.</p>
<p>Actually no, @drofnats, you have to be trolling.</p>
<p>Let them know somehow that you are serious about attending their school, include it in your essay, call the admissions office, schedule a campus visit/tour and be very proactive in the process. Because based off of your scored alone Delaware is a low to mid reach. So I recommend you leave an impression in one way or another and let them know that there is more to you beyond your (sorry but) mediocre scores.</p>
