Junior and Senior year: 2 APs (Tests: English Lang 5, US History 4), honors French, four Syracuse University Project Advance classes (Forensics, Psych, Sociology, and English), selected for NJ Teen PEP program (basically sex ed but we educate the community about issues and help the freshmen adjust to the high school)</p>
<p>I had a serious concussion before my junior year and as a result my grades plummeted and I have maybe five Cs on my junior year transcript, but my counselor rec denotes it as a medical reason (well, obviously lol)</p>
<p>If I have a hook it's my EC's.</p>
<p>At the end of the year I will have taken a total of 6 years of language -- 3 Honors french and Italian I - III (only levels offered in my school currently as it's a new program)</p>

SAT II: English Lit-670, US History-600
ACT: 27 (but i didn't submit it)</p>

<p>chances for the following would be amazing!</p>
<ul>
<li>Penn State (University Park) – High Match</li>
<li>University of Maryland (College Park)-- High Match</li>
<li>Syracuse University (Newhouse)-- Syracuse is a Match, don’t know how competitive Newhouse is.</li>
<li>University of Connecticut-- In</li>
<li>James Madison University-- Not too sure</li>
<li>The College of New Jersey–Not sure</li>
<li>Loyola University Maryland-- In</li>
<li>Quinnipiac University-- Match</li>
<li>Rowan University-- In state safety</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Penn State (University Park) – Match</li>
<li>University of Maryland (College Park) – Match</li>
<li>Syracuse University (Newhouse…) – Match</li>
<li>University of Connecticut – ?</li>
<li>James Madison University – ?</li>
<li>The College of New Jersey – In</li>
<li>Loyola University Maryland – In</li>
<li>Quinnipiac University – In</li>
<li>Rowan University – In</li>
</ul>
<p>You could probably throw in a reach or two in there.</p>
University of Maryland (College Park) – mid to high Match
Syracuse University (Newhouse…) – I don’t know what newhouse is, but match.
University of Connecticut – in
James Madison University – I think probably in, I don’t know how they treat oos people, but your stats are good for them and they have a really high acceptance rate.
The College of New Jersey – match
Loyola University Maryland – In
Quinnipiac University – In
Rowan University – In</p>
<p>You should put another reach on there. Maybe Rochester or SUNY Big. </p>
<p>Youre SAT is in range for all the listed schools, but your GPA may be a little low. THat said:</p>
<ul>
<li>Penn State (University Park) – in</li>
<li>University of Maryland (College Park) – in</li>
<li>Syracuse University (Newhouse…) – mid reach</li>
<li>University of Connecticut – high match</li>
<li>James Madison University – reach</li>
<li>The College of New Jersey – match</li>
<li>Loyola University Maryland – match</li>
<li>Quinnipiac University – match</li>
<li>Rowan University – reach</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Penn State (University Park) – High Match
-University of Maryland (College Park) – Most likely get in</li>
<li>Syracuse University (Newhouse…) – Should be in</li>
<li>University of Connecticut – Should get in</li>
<li>James Madison University – I don’t know this one! </li>
<li>The College of New Jersey – Or this one!</li>
<li>Loyola University Maryland – In</li>
<li>Quinnipiac University – In!</li>
</ul>
<p>Penn state would be a low reach for out of state. In state would be a match. Syracuse is a slight reach, on a lower scale to Penn State… all in my opinion. The rest I am not too sure of… I’m from California thats why. Umm University of Maryland is competitive too… so I would say low reach… your GPA and SAT kinda brings you down.</p>
