Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Okay so I'm not too sure on my chances at some of these schools and any help is very much appreciated. Here's my info:</p>

<p>GPA: weighted: 3.329 unweighted: 3.171</p>

<p>Class Rank: weighted: 181/487 unweighted:184/487</p>

<p>ACT: 29 composite (34 english, 29 science, 24 reading, 27 math)</p>

<p>Grade Trend: My grades show a positive trend at the same time my course difficulty as increasing. Freshman year: 2.8, regular courses. Sophomore year: 3.0 (2 honors classes) **Junior year:<a href="BIG%20turnaround">/B</a> 4.08 (2 A.P. classes)</p>

<p>Senior Year Courses: 3 A.P. classes, 2 regulars. I have straight A's in these. (4.6 GPA)</p>

<p>Recommendation and Essay: Essay focusing on one class but emphasizing overall positive grade trend. My letter of recommendation is from my A.P. Latin teacher who I have had for all 4 years and it's going to be a great recommendation.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
-3 years of lifeguarding at highschool pool
-nominated student of the month
-3 years teaching children how to swim at highschool pool
-volunteered every year for 2 years at the community shelter for women and children
-volunteering at hospital senior year
-(good shot at being accepted into) medical internship program for highschool students and local hospital. (only 20 students accepted)
-2 years working at public pool as lifeguard/swim instructor
-1st degree black belt in tae-kwon-do
-varsity water polo, junior varsity swimming
-volunteered as junior counselor for the park district freshman year</p>

<p>The schools I am looking at are: Miami University, Creighton University, Marquette University, Depauw University, Indiana University, and Michigan University. What do you guys think my chances are at these? Also I'm looking for some good low-medium reach schools...I chose Michigan as one but does anyone know of any other good/realistic ones? ty so much for reading this!</p>

<p>anyoneeeee?</p>

<p>Depauw - match/in
Miami - sorry, not familiar with this school
Creighton - match/in
Marquette - match/in
Indiana - most likely in</p>

<p>It's good that your grades show an upward trend while they are getting more difficult. That should slightly offset your semi-low gpa. Good Luck!</p>

<p>anyone else? :D</p>

<p>You have a great shot at all of the schools except for Uof MICH. Your ACT is on the lower side + your GPA is low too. My suggestion is to get your ACT up to at least a 30+ to make up for your GPA</p>

<p>Omaha native here, Creighton is a lock, as is probably Marquette, Depauw, and Indiana (if in state)
Michigan is a reach, if Miami (FL) reach</p>

<p>thanks. anyone have any good suggestions for other schools? it sounds like all my choices now are pretty much a lock save for U MICH...if it helps, I plan on going pre-med so I'd need a school with nice research opportunities too....any suggestions?</p>

<p>hey man chance me!!! Padthai is better than flatnoodles!</p>

9

<p>anyone have any thoughts on potential reach schools though? : /</p>

10

<p>bummmmmmmp</p>

11

<p>bump again</p>

12

<p>how about UIUC(Uof Illinois-urbana champaigne)? what is your major?</p>

13

<p>I'm going pre-med...possibly major in biomedical sciences, biology, microbiology...I've considered UIUC, im an Illinois resident too....but Im not sure if a smaller school may be better for more opportunities and individual attention through premed years.</p>

14

<p>Boston University has a great pre-med/biology. And it's a low reach for you</p>

15

<p>BU's a little pricey though...is it really worth it? does it outweigh miami and creighton's premed?</p>

16

<p>haha that's your job now bro, but I know its one of the top in the US</p>
