Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Well I'm a junior this year and I'm doing worse than expected. It has been one quarter and I'm shocked by the grades I'm getting, but I'm hoping I can bring them up.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.76W
PSAT: Predicted 1270, but I'm hoping for atleast 1300
RANK: Top 5% out of around 650 students</p>

<p>9th: All classes were Gate level, which is basically honors with no grade bump.</p>

<p>10th: All gate classes and 1 honors - HL Pre-Calc</p>

<p>11th: AP Calc, AP US, AP Eng, HL Chem, HL Span 3, and Journalism</p>

<p>12th: AP Psych, AP Eng, AP Stats, AP Gov/Econ, Journalism and Physics</p>

<p>EC's/Community Service/Awards: Tennis, CSF, VBall Club (Treasurer), Sign Language Club, Foreign Foods Club (VP), Journalism (Entertainment Editor), Early Academic Outreach Program, Relay 4 Life, Key Club (VP), Random Acts of Kindness Club, Recycling Club, Certificate of Scholastic Achievement, Circle B Athletic Award, Block B Academic Letter, and "Most Consistent Player" - Tennis.</p>

<p>Also 2 immediate family members had/have cancer during my high school years. My essay topic combined with Relay 4 Life....I will have done it for 5 yrs, and the team I'm on with my high school friends should have raised over 40k dollars.</p>

<p>I'm applying EA, and I really want to go to Miami. I would apply ED, but I can't make that committment bc of financial reasons.</p>

<p>Thanks for any help.</p>

<p>Ha! Funny the way life works. I'm a very similar student to you on paper, but live in South Florida and hope to go to school in California. </p>

<p>As for Miami, you should get in. Scores look on par with everything I have read about their requirements for admission.</p>

<p>You'll get in with room to spare.</p>

<p>Thanks for your opinions....</p>

<p>since that's your PSAT predicted score... then that means you still have time to practice for the real SAT. try to do some prep and raise that score a little bit just to assure yourself that you will get in.</p>
