Chances to a few schools

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>This is my first post so bare with me :) Just a struggling smart junior who wants to know his options.</p>

<p>GPA UW: 3.1 W: 3.3?(Not sure my school doesn't weight)
Rank: 96/380 Public school
SAT: 1350/1600 & 2000/2400
Math: 730
Writing: 650
RC: 620
By the time I graduate I will have taken 4 APs, APUSH, Computer Sciences, Calc BC, and Physics C: Mechanics (Haven't taken any tests yet)
Also by the time I finish I will have taken 8 honors
Senior year I will going to Penn State Abington and taking their introductory engineering course for Penn State credits</p>

<p>EC:4 years varsity tennis
4 years club Ultimate frisbee
Committee member of my schools Dance Marathon for cancer
4 years of Cancer Awareness club
Student Council member
In my synagogues youth group
Last summer I went to Northeastern Univ as a part of Summer Discovery and took an engineering course there and got college credits for that
Participated in the NACLO test, good chance I get called back for round 2
I continuously take Math League quizzes and get perfects almost always</p>

<p>Here is my list of schools and I am from Pennsylvania. I would LIKE to go into engineering directly and possible have a double major of Aerospace and mechanical engineering, but I know my GPA is terrible so if I have to apply for general education and transfer in I can.</p>

<p>Temple (My father, mother, both grandparents, aunt, and my brother have all gone there. My brother will be attending their law school this coming year)
Penn State UP(Will the course I take senior year have any effect in this decision?
University of Delaware
Rutgers NB
UConn
Drexel
University of Pittsburgh
RIT
Virginia Tech (2 cousins went there)</p>

<p>My uncle is on the board of Lehigh University and he regularly donates, should I even bother to apply cause of my low GPA or will this give me a chance?</p>

<p>Any other schools I should look at?</p>

<p>Bumpitty bump bump?</p>

<p>You’re looking at a $5K+ per year scholarship at Temple. If you retake the SATs and move up another 100 points, you’re looking at even more.</p>

<p>I kind of really need input on some of these colleges, my mom wants to book visits by tonight so any kind of help would really be appreciated</p>

<p>Temple- Match
Penn State- Match
University of Delaware- Match
Rutgers- Match
Drexel- Match
UPitt- Low Reach
RIT- Low Reach
Virginia Tech-Match
UCONN- Low Reach(Engineering)</p>

<p>I live in CT, and UCONN engineering is very difficult to get accepted to, I went there for a tour a few weeks ago, and they said that it is much more difficult than the real school. I believe the main school, not engineering, is a match.</p>

<p>Lehigh, since your uncle is on the board and donates, you may have a chance.
I would recommend Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Boston University</p>

<p>Would like a chance back:

<p>Is Penn State really a match for me? A person messaged me and said I have a slight chance at PSU UP. Also what about UDell?</p>

<p>Temple-match
Penn State UP-possible
University of Delaware-possible
Rutgers NB-match
UConn-match
Drexel-match
University of Pittsburgh-low reach
RIT-not sure
Virginia Tech-low reach</p>

<p>I think most of the schools you have a good chance for but if you increase your gpa to at least 3.5 you have a better chance at the lower reaches. Your SAT scores are very good though and that will help you a lot.</p>

<p>Temple - I think you’d have a really good chance at Temple, due to the legacy.
Penn State UP - You’d possibly get in.
University of Delaware - Not sure.
Rutgers NB - Not sure.
UConn - Match
Drexel - You have an okay chance of getting in.
University of Pittsburgh - Not likely.
RIT - Not Likely
Virginia Tech - Not likely.</p>

<p>Also, senior year, try to maintain B’s. I know some colleges that will decline a student who was previously accepted by that college.</p>

<p>Temple- Match for sure
Penn State- low reach/match
University of Delaware- Match
Rutgers- Match
Drexel- Match
Uconn- Reach for the engineering program, but it could come down to yout essay.
UPitt- I don’t really know
RIT- I don’t really know
Virginia Tech- low reach</p>

</p>

<p>You call this smart?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Temple- Match
Penn State- mid-high reach
University of Delaware- Match
Rutgers- reach
Drexel- reach
Uconn- Reach
UPitt- reach
Virginia Tech- reach</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Well you’re a d1ck…</p>

12

<p>^ Agreed. henrymoore, there’s no need to judge him so harshly. A 2000 SAT score is actually a very good score compared to the mean, 1500. His rank isn’t too shabby either.</p>

13

<p>LOL.
Sorry, please accept my apology.</p>

<p>I thought you got a 1350 on your SAT, which is like skipping one complete section.</p>

<p>Sorry, haha</p>

14

<p>Hahahahahahahahahaha henrymoore listen just because i didn’t take 18 APs and got all 5s on them and got a perfect SAT and got a B+ in gym, doesn’t make me inadequate. I like a nice balance of school and girls. I had the best time in high school, you didn’t.</p>

15

<p>Wilkey listen
You are not inadequate, AT ALL.
1350 SAT will make you inadequate, but obviously I have problems with my vision.
A 2000 is a great score.</p>

<p>Sorry again.</p>

16

<p>henrymoore need to lurn two reed…</p>

17

<p>^Yes.
Sorry. lol</p>
