<p>I live in Charlotte,NC. I'm a rising senior right now at one of the most competitive HS's in NC, if not the most.</p>

<p>Schools: NCSU, UNC-CH, Georgia Tech, Purdue</p>

<p>GPA: 4.2 (weighted), 3.1 (unweighted)
SAT: 1950 (700 Math) (610 Reading) (640 Writing)
Rank: top 30% 121/419
AP's (taken): AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP World History, AP United States History, AP Physics (Calculus Based), AP Statistics, AP English III.</p>

<p>AP's (Senior year): AP Macro Economics, AP Environmental Science, AP Multi-Variable Calculus, AP English IV, AP Computer Programming, AP Number Theory.</p>

<p>EC: Chess Club, Engineering Club, Over 100 Hours of Community service, Help my taekwondo instructor teach classes.</p>

<p>As you can see, I kinda screwed up. I did fine freshman year but horribly sophomore year (due to slacking).</p>

<p>Just wondering what my chances are on getting into these colleges. Also, should I apply early to any of these colleges?</p>

<p>I think you have great shots at all of them. You probable should aim even higher.</p>

<p>Please chance me:

12

<p>NCSU- definitely in
UNC-CH- probably in (like others have said, bumping up your GPA might help!)
Georgia Tech &Purdue- good match</p>

<p>Are you planning on doing engineering? UNC-CH does not have an engineering department, but offers engineering majors in the applied science department, as I understand it. Just FYI :slight_smile:
Good luck!</p>

13

<p>NCSU: in
UNC-CH: reach. work on your extracurriculars; maybe spend your summer volunteering or devoting a lot of time to a club or something
Georgia Tech: match
Purdue: I don’t really know</p>

<p>chance me?</p>

<p>You’d probably get into Purdue. It’s getting a bit harder nowadays but I think you’d get in.</p>

15

<p>I think you have a great shot at most of them but GPA needs to be a big higher for Purdue.</p>

16

<p>Your GPA/SAT scores are pretty average, but they seem enough for the schools you’re applying to. Its great that your courseload is rigorous tho- adcoms will see that, and it will help you a LOT, trust me :slight_smile: That said, your ECs dont jump out though- is there any passion that you have for a specific activity that can be demonstrated by awards in that area? Anyways…my predictions:</p>

<p>NCSU- in, UNC-CH- low reach, Georgia Tech- definitely in, Purdue- reach</p>

<p>Chance me back if you have time?
