<p>hi im currently a junior from new jersey. By the end of the year my overall gpa will be around 3.75. My first year as a freshman was rather lame as i got a 3.2 with jv tennis and only 2 honors. Sophomore year was a little better as i got a 4.0 and varsity tennis 3 honors. This year I am going to get a 4.1 based on my track, taking 2 aps, 1 honors(idk if honors cisco counts as a real class) 2 electives and 2 regular classes. I guess I am a bit nervous since i took three electives this yearI am also going to once again be on varsity tennis, chess, and I held a job earlier in the year at a panera. I am planning to get a 1900+ on my SATs.
I have a couple of questions regarding Colorado Boulder. Please be honest because this is basically my dream school and I do not want to be crushed by unrealistic hopes.
1. Do I have a decent chance even with my terrible freshman year?
2. Do I have a chance at engineering even with my rather lackluster math classes?
3. Do they offer physiology and pre med programs?
4. Do I have a chance in them?
Sorry for all the questions.. Thanks for any advice or opinion =]</p>

<li>You have a very good chance with a GPA of 3.75 and SAT of 1900+</li>
<li>That will be harder, if your math scores are truly lackluster. However, if you are not good at math, why would you want to go into engineering?</li>
<li>Yes</li>
<li>Not sure what you mean. Just like anywhere, pre-med is not a major, but a selection of courses. Just like anywhere, it is a competitive track.</li>
</ol>
<p>CU admission staff have a regional assignments. You should find out who the rep is for NJ. These people can help you.</p>
<p>well I heard engineering was pretty well known there so… yea…
Pre med and physiology are my biggest interests at the moment so I just needed to make sure… Oh yeah thank you for the info</p>
<p>drb is right with his answers, and I second his thought that if you don’t like math or really don’t have a strong aptitude for it, DON’T major in it (engineering)! You’ll make yourself miserable.</p>
<p>My son is finishing up his sophomore year at CU with a possible eye on going into the dental/medical field. He’s been given very strong support by his advisor and the CU faculty. Brush up on your chemistry skills if that’s how you’re leaning - the beginning chem course for medical majors is very much a “weeder” course and it is a killer!!</p>
<p>Good luck!!</p>
