Chances of getting good scholarships

<p>I'm starting my junior year right now, I'm out of state (Maryland), and I want to go to a good college with good skiing nearby, so CU Boulder is an obvious choice. I'm going to be majoring in some sort of engineering, not sure which yet.</p>

<p>My first two years of high school I got a 3.71 unweighted, and it would be over 4.0 weighted. I took AP Government sophomore year and got B overall, and a 3 on the AP test, but I'm not going to be majoring in any sort of social studies so that doesn't worry me.</p>

<p>This year, I plan on getting at least a 3.7 unweighted, and I have a pretty tough schedule (GT Chem, GT Physics, English Honors, History Honors, Spanish IV Honors, Calc AB AP, and Stat AP). Next year I plan on getting the same GPA unweighted while taking English Honors, Physics AP, Calc C AP, Spanish V AP, and then maybe some easy electives since it's senior year.</p>

<p>I haven't taken the actual SAT yet, but I've taken more than a few proctored practice tests, and I will probably get an 800 in math and 2200 overall, if all goes well during the test. I've never practiced for the ACT so I'm not sure if I'll take it, but we'll see.</p>

<p>So to sum it all up, 3.71 GPA unweighted, over 4.0 weighted (haven't calculated it yet), 2200 SAT, 6 AP classes (total, including senior year), engineering major. Chances of getting scholarships since it's a very expensive school.</p>

<p>The practice tests did not reflect my actual score although they did help me. I always scored way higher on the practice than the real tests. I don’t know how you can predict what your GPA will be, but good luck. Scholarship chances unless your ACT is super high for real ( not on the practice test) CU doesn’t seem to give out much $$</p>

<p>I’m a senior looking into CU this year … out-of-state financial aid is super hard to get. If you’re really interested, I’d start looking into third-party scholarships…</p>
