<p>ill cut to the chase because there are too many of these threads around
from grades 9 through 11 i was quite sick, and parents had divorced, and in turn with that, i had terrible grades (at the start of this year i had a 2.7 GPA)
but now that everything has settled i have been getting all A's and A+'s, i sat the SAT's a while back and got 2300. I have done debating, was a house captain, am currently the varsity boys soccer captain, and did the Model UN debate program, and will have good teacher rec's
what are my chances for these schools? UT-Austin, U. Virginia, Duke, and Columbia?</p>
<p>thanks guys</p>
<p>What is the breakdown of your GPA throughout high school? And what is your final cumulative unweighted (as of now)?</p>
<p>from grades 9 through to the first half of 11th, i got mainly C’s and D’s (at my school D’s are a pass), with a few A’s trickled throughout, rarely any B’s, from the second half of 11th grade through to now i have gotten all A+'s and 2 A’s ( i had to catch up in chemistry)
no AP’s, no IB
my current cumulative unweighted 2.9</p>
<p>Your SAT’s are great! Your EC’s are pretty good,
But…
Your transcript will show these colleges that you have C’s and D’s & that probably won’t cut it for Duke & Columbia. Plus you haven’t taken any AP’s. Make sure you take some next year, but don’t kill yourself with more than 4! I really don’t know about UVA and UT that well. Apply to these schools (look into others that aren’t extremely competitive) & see if you get accepted or not. Good luck :)</p>
<p>what do you guys think about my chances of getting into kansas state (OOS) ?</p>
