<p>Hi-</p>

<p>First time on CC but have been lurking here for a bit. Would appreciate feedback on my chances at Gettysburg. I have been to visit the school & liked what I saw.</p>

<p>Class of 2012 - large public high school in the North East - Male - Take a mix of AP & Honors classes (a college prep mixed in here in there due to scheduling)</p>

<p>Major: considering one or all - History / Political Science / Economics : may go to law school</p>

<p>GPA: 3.82
Senior Year: just started but commited to making all A's
Junior Year: all A's
Sophmore Year: A's & B's
Freshman Year: A's, B's & two C+'s
**Freshman year I went to a private school where I commuted 3+ hours per day. Transferred to large public school at end of freshman year. I have the long commute and a school transfer in my defense for less than perfect grades.</p>

<p>SCORES:
SAT:
1410/1600 OR 2080/2400
(CR=740 / M= 670 / WR = 670)
SATII:
World History = 740 / US History = 740</p>

<p>I’m a first year (freshman) here and I can definitely say that you’re in! We literally have almost all of the same stats and extracurriculars (kinda scary), and you’re from Texas which helps, since most applicants are from PA or Jersey anyway. Even better, you’ll probably receive the Presidential Scholarship or Lincoln Scholarship (the two best ones here)…I received the Presidential. I wouldn’t sweat it, and message me if you need any tips or advice about the college. It was my second choice behind Cornell, but I am so proud to say that I could not be happier here in the 3 short weeks I have been in college, so it is definitely an awesome place to be!</p>
