<p>anyone have an opinion?</p>

<p>Suggestion? Comments? Concerns?</p>

<p>ACT but you are going to work on that.</p>

5

<p>Yep, thanks:)</p>

<p>Seems like you are on the right track. Your ethnicity will help, since I know Geneseo has been trying to recruit more minority students…I think something like only 2% of the students there are black. Your courses and extracurriculars look good. Good Luck!</p>

7

<p>Thank You!</p>

8

<p>I think you definitely have a good chance. Just try to get your ACT score up a few points.</p>

<p>If you keep doing what you have been doing you are in…even with a 26 ACT, but I know you’ll do better. I rarely comment on “chances” threads but I want to encourage you to just maintain the effort you have put into your academics and school community so far and to not get too wrapped up into the stats (particularly standardized scores). Your resume-to-date is a lot more impressive than that of the kids I know who have been accepted at and are attending Geneseo over the past 3 years.</p>

<p>yeah ull def get in. i had a 2.7 gpa, little extra curricular, 1s on ap stat and ap art history, and a 2180 sat. but think twice about coming here, its extremely rural and im from NYC. also, like 90% of the students here are from the L.I., nyc area with the other % making up other parts of ny and maybe 2% out of state</p>

<p>oh and youre doing pre med? hmm study hard. each year out of the 1100 freshman coming, there are maybe a few hundred pre med students. im a freshman and by my second semester, almost all the pre med kids i know dropped out cause of the workload. so study hard and go to med school!</p>
