<p>white male from the great state of Connecticut</p>
<p>3.75 unweighted GPA (senior grades AP History A-, AP Calculus A-, British Literature Honors A, Wesleyan Chem. A-). My school runs off the block schedule. 4 classes per semester with APs running the whole year. I have those three classes plus my Wesleyan class as the fourth.</p>
<p>ideal grade progression</p>
<p>1370 and 2070 on the SAT</p>
<p>15/190 class rank</p>
<p>All honors classes and 3 out of the 5 AP classes my schools has </p>
<p>I am a Wesleyan High School Scholar. Every other day I leave school and take "Principles of Chemistry I" there. I was accepted again for next semester, and I am taking "Principles of Chemistry II" next semester. I finished the course with one of the higher grades in the class with an A-/A. I am hoping they consider this because obviously Wesleyan is one of the best schools in the country, and it proves that I can succeed.</p>
<p>~40 hours of community service (probably the killer here)</p>

<p>Founder and vice-president of the Tutoring Club</p>
<p>President and former treasurer of the International Culture Club </p>
<p>I applied 1/29 and still have not received a decision.</p>
<p>I would say your in, but my best friend (we are also from CT) got waitlisted with a 4.16/4.2 with an 1180/1600 and a 1720/2400 with a class rank of 5. So i have no idea.</p>

I think that you have a great chance. Your stats are similiar to my son’s and he received the president’s scholarship. I will say that he had more EC than you (varsity baseball, tutoring, lots of service) and his rank was higher. I will admit that I don’t know too much about being a Wesleyan Scholar but I am sure UCONN does. I wish you the best of luck. (He applied EA on 11/30 and heard on 12/18)</p>
<p>UCONN should be considered your safety with those scores. If you live in CT, have above a 3.4 UW and 1900 SAT’s, you should consider yourself in. I have slightly lower scores and got in with full tuition, and I live in CT as well. Let us know when you receive your decision!</p>
<p>Wow. I am completely and utterly shocked at their decision to waitlist you. UCONN should have honestly been a really easy safety for someone with you scores, and especially given your scores and GPA. </p>
<p>The only thing that can lead me to believe this is that many students were accepted well before the year started, perhaps mostly between November and December, and onwards. Given the economic downturn that has struck the nation, I know of many people who are now considering UCONN simply because it is an affordable school. If UCONN is your first choice, I would consider contacting them and letting them know that you would definitely attend if you were accepted. UCONN is an excellent school and given the price range that they are in, even without scholarships and grants, it makes it an extremely good choice.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, that I think you have a very good chance of transferring after a semester. I have a friend who transferred this year from GW to UCONN in January, so it seems like it couldn’t be that hard. What are your other choices for schools?</p>
<p>I looked at your first post again and just realized that you applied extremely late. That’s what did it, for sure.</p>
<p>You only need 12 credits to be considered a transfer, so you should only have to spend one semester somewhere else. Transfer applicants with less than 2 years college coursework are also evaluated on high school performance, so you should be golden in that regard.</p>
<p>Admissions is offering spots in the regional campuses to students waitlisted for Storrs. If that’s an option for you perhaps you should call the Admissions office and ask for that consideration. Best wishes…</p>
<p>Yeah, its a crapshoot, Like i Said above my friend got waitlisted with a GPA of 4.16/4.2, 1160/1740, Class rank of 5. Having taken AP UCONN Western Civ, AP Calc, AP Chem, AP Physics, AP US History and getting A’s in all of them.</p>
