<p>High School Junior
Estimated 3.4 unweighted GPA
I had a bad freshman year, but I've gotten better. (GPA around 2.9 freshman year)
I took An "Accelerated" class freshman year, took honors chemistry last year, and I'm taking AP Biology this year.
Worked as an umpire freshman year.
Volunteered to help coach my little sister's softball team the summer after freshman year, and I logged 24 hours.
Taken private drum lessons and had a band for almost two years now.
Started the political science club at my school this year.
Played intramural basketball every year.
Worked from May 2008-October 2008 at a grocery store (15-20+ hours per week).
I would guess I am at least in the top 25% of my class, possibly 10%.
Connecticut resident.
Parents make about 120,000 dollars a year combined.
I want to major in political science.
What are my chances to get in to University of Connecticut if I apply early action? How much financial aid/scholarships (if any) would I receive?</p>
<p>I haven't taken SATs yet but I have taken PSATs (61 on writing, 61 on critical reading, 67 on math, 189 overall).</p>
<p>I'd say you have a good chance assuming your SATs are consistent with your PSATs. My son had a similar average, and also a bad year in high school. His SATs were similar to your PSATs. He was accepted EA. He is also OOS.</p>
<p>You're in.</p>
<p>My GPA is down a little bit to about a 3.2 or 3.3 Unweighted. My class rank is in the third decile (somewhere from 20-30%). My SAT superscored is 1370/2030.</p>
<p>Your SAT is good, which helps a lot. I say you’ve got a very good shot, though I wouldn’t expect honors program or too much, if any at all, merit aid.</p>
