<p>I know my GPA is not that good, that's why i gave my course list. I am a good test taker and i know UCONN values the SATs high. what are my chances of admission?</p>
<p>I go to the HS right on UConn campus so I know tons of students who apply every year who get both accepted and rejected. UConn is really just looking for a strong academic rigor and high SAT’s and you seem to be in PERFECT range for both. I would definitely say you are getting into UConn! UConn offers tons of ECE (early college experience) courses to a bunch of local schools so if you they’re available to you-- take those and try to do really well in them senior year, they’ll look really good! And even try and take summer classes there if you are absolutely dying to get in… although I’m sure that’s not necessary for you. I’m applying there myself in the fall! Good luck! :)</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your input! I should have also mentioned that I do plan on getting UCONN spanish credits from AP next year, with regards to your statement about credits. it’s good to get some reassuring feedback, but i still have to work hard this year and next, and do a little more volunteer crap over the summer. thanks again! that’s E. O. Smith right on the campus, right?</p>
<p>As long as you get what you are predicting on your SATs or at least what you got on your PSAT you should be fine. Apply early action because it doesnt hurt and there will be more spaces available then. Also do as well as you can in your classes senior year especially first semester and sent them your mid year reports even though they dont request them as long as you did well of course.</p>
<p>Alas, there is no more early action at UConn for next year. If you want to apply for the special Medical, Dental or Law programs, the deadline is Dec. 1, but otherwise it is Jan 15. Don’t know if admissions will continue to be rolling. If so, applying early is important.</p>
<p>Yup, it’s EO Smith! And don’t worry, if you go to college there you won’t see high school students all the time haha. But yeah I think the smart thing to do is always do your best senior year if you havent already because colleges really look favorably upon an upward grade trend and a heavier/more advanced course load.</p>
<p>So I only got a 1270/1810 on my SAT… way down from my PSAT. but then again, that was with literally no preperation, and i plan on going hard for the October one. THAT one, will be my key. Is that still good enough for the Liberal Arts? I want to major in General History</p>
<p>Uconn recieved 30,000 applications for the Fall 2012 semester. It is no longer an easy school to get into, even for CLAS. [UConn</a> Receives Record Number of Applications for Fall Semester | UConn Today](<a href=“http://today.uconn.edu/blog/2012/02/Uconn-receives-record-number-of-applications-for-fall-semester/]UConn”>UConn Receives Record Number of Applications for Fall Semester - UConn Today) You really need to get your SAT scores up to go with your GPA, even for CLAS. Buy the “blue” official SAT review book. Do a practice test (timed) every week this summer and then review it to find out what areas you need work on. The SAT forum here has a lot of good advice. Once you have gone through the tests, if you have not improved as much as you would like, get a one-one one tutor to coach you on your weak points. Don’t bother with the generic multi week prep course. You don’t have the time, and the money would be better invested in your specific needs. One-on-one tutors are cheaper than you think and are a great investment in getting your SAT’s to the levels you need for getting in (and for scholarships!) Good luck!</p>
