Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Do you think I can get into:
University of Michigan
University of Delaware
University of Florida (Gainsville)
University of Massachusetts (Amherst)
University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill)
and PRINCETON?** total reach i know =( </p>

<p>Currently I am a junior in HS and an IB diploma candidate.
My current GPA is an UW 3.5 (not very high I know) and not sure about weighted
Ive taken all honors/advanced classes 9/10th grade <em>they were the only classes they allowed you to take) and now I’m in the IB program
I just got my PSAT scores back and my predicted SAT score is an 1800. *I got that with out any studying or preparation so I know that for my march SAT exam I can score much higher – aiming for above 2200, 2300 - 2400 is my goal</em></p>

<p>Extra Curricular:
- Service Club (4 yrs)
- FBLA (4 yrs)
- Mock Trial (4 yrs)
- Steering Committee (student council)
- Swimming ( out side of school – 3 yrs)
- Dancing (Tap and Ballet, Pointe - 10 yrs)
- Piano (won awards – 10 yrs)</p>

<ul>
<li>working on starting up a Model UN club. If my school approves of it I would be the president/ head of Model UN</li>
<li>150 of volunteer service</li>
<li>took a math (geometry – got an A) summer class summer of sophomore year so I could skip a math level</li>
<li>A piece of my writing has been featured in my school’s annual magazine.</li>
<li>Worked with my school for our community project. If all plans go, I’ll be hosting a Hunger Banquet and raising money awareness to fight hunger in LEDC (less economically developed countries)
<strong><em>APPLYING TO TASP – probably wont get in but its worth the shot. If I do its another thing I can add to my list.</em></strong>*</li>
</ul>

<p>There are some other stuff that ive done that I cant remember or aren’t as significant.
Also which schools do you think I could get a scholarship in? I know merit wise I’m not an AMAZING student, and I’m not a D1 athlete either but I have to pay for all four years of college plus law school. My parents cant afford to pay for my college since they are both retired and are having financial issues. They can’t get much financial aid from schools or the government because they made too much money before and they have a lot of assets. So bottom line.. Im paying for college, I don’t want to take any student loans or anything because I don’t want to start my life with huge debt plus in today’s world, having a college education doesn’t guarantee you a job.
** My parents did say that if I got into an IVY league school they would sell a few of their assets to pay for school.</p>

<p>You going to princeton is as much of a shot as me seeing a day of freedom</p>

<p>There really are no right stats to be admitted into college. But since you asked. Your scores are a little on the low side. So is your GPA. Did you start the Model UN club because you genuinely desired to do so, or did you start it to attract colleges? I would not know. I am sorry I cannot be more helpful. I just do not think these chance topics are any help at all. You are by no means obligated to accept my opinion. I would not accept anyone’s, either.</p>

<p>Princeton is def a reach for you with that GPA. The rest could be slightly reaches too but are less so then Princeton. I think if you are able to get a 2000+ on SATs you could have decent shot at some on list though. Of course essay you write and recommendations will also fit into it all and a well written essay that only you could have written could help you when the time comes to apply also.</p>

<p>Princeton is definitely out of your reach but the rest of th schools seem on target (Michigan if you can bump up your SATs to 2300ish)</p>
