<p>My Gpa should be around 5.3 ish due to the weight our school puts on honors and AP courses and 3.7ish U.W.
Class Rank= top 15
I ve basically worked my balls off this year to give my self a chance at this...im doing ED by the way
thanks
cj</p>
<p>lol sry ur not getting more responses, I think people are focused more on the acceptances this week than the "CAN I GET IN!?" lol. I def think u have a chance tho. If u nail ur essays and recommendations you have a chance. Since ur applying ED I'll go out on a limb and say you won't get rejected. In my personal opinion I'd guess that you would be accepted for defered (don't trust me tho lol). Best of luck and keep up the great work! (I wish I got to take tests online! lol. I type much faster than I write :) ) If u can put the enthusiasm and passion in ur essays that make them realize that this is ur dream school it would be great. GL!</p>
<p>thanks a bunch..and if u dont mind me asking-what would you guys consider my strengths and weaknesses on my app..just trying to get an idea on how i should try to do this
thanks</p>
<p>One big thing is raise that chem grade. Ask for extra credit, participate more, meet after hours for help/just to chat in order to make the teacher like you. It may just be one bad grade...but it's also on ur latest report card which isn't the best. </p>
<p>I'd say a strength is ur running. Also ur unweighted gpa is pretty high (along w/ weighted). The number of AP classes is also nice, especially if u can get lots of good grades in the. </p>
<p>Another weakness is ur leadership. U only have leadership in one club. I'd try to get a leadership position in a couple more. Maybe u can even become captain of soccer cuz that will happen in time of ur ED decision.</p>
<p>I'd also try to take the ACT at least once more. You never know...</p>
<p>If you don't make these changes I'd lean more towards u getting defered to regular decision from ED. You are a good candidate but u r also in a pool of good/great candidates. If u do these things I'd say u have more of a chance to get accepted. (Also start researching how to write a college essay and fish for ideas. Maybe start doing some practice ones and c if one inspires you) GL!!!</p>
<p>on the whole captain of the soccer team thing..i don think thats much of an option-thers this kid whose on the U21 national team and all that good stuff..plus in florida soccer is a winter sport-so itd be too late anyway
as for leadership
i am the cpt of xc both jr and senior year and the president of that running club
and unfortunatly i dont see much oppurtunity to be president or anything really before the ED deadline
i ll try my best in chem these last 2 weeks but i doubt its gonna change much-my teachers a lesbo and just makes everything impossible-i mean one kid out of 60 has an A
thanks for your help Fig, i think for that essay im gonna write about how i ran last xc season with a cracked rib and a torn muscle in my chest...
thanks again
