<p>My current GPA is 3.6 and my class rank is 16 of 129. I was a bit of a slacker during my freshmen and sophomore years but I redeemed myself during junior year. I finished with a 97 and ranked 2nd in my class. My school doesn't offer weighted GPA's and operates on a 4.0 scale. I recently got my SAT score back and I got a Cr- 570 M-510 W- 580.
I have taken the most rigorous classes that are available at my school which include three honors courses during my junior year. I am currently taking college credit bio, calc, and English. In the school community I'm pretty active serving as the president of student council, editor of the paper, president of the law club, president of national honor society, and a member of the Spanish national honor society. I also have 500 hours of community service teaching young children how to swim. Along with that I was one out of two students in my school who was awarded an internship with the D.A. that began in September.
I had an interview during the summer and am confident to say it went very well. The interviewer told me that I would be a great addition to the community. On the recommendation forms all of my teachers rated me in the one percent in every category. My essays and short answer questions were very well written. They also requested senior year grades and I finished with a 95 average. I applied on October 23rd for regular decision. Do I have a shot at Syracuse?</p>
<p>EC wise, I believe that you have some great leadership positions. However, I can't help but notice the mediocre SAT scores. Have you retaken the SAT's?
Stronger SAT scores will definitely add a big boost to your application and dramatically increase your likelihood of getting accepted. As of now, I'm not sure how confident I am in your acceptance. I would not be surprised you were accepted; however, if you didn't get accepted, I would think that the SAT score played a key role in your downfall.</p>
<p>You really need to get your SAT's up.</p>
<p>I have taken the SAT three times and have improved each time. I'm a very bad test taker and suffer from testing anxiety. Thankfully during the admissions interview the topic came up and I told them about my problem. Despite the mediocre test scores, I believe that Syracuse is looking for a well rounded student that will add to their community. Thank you for your input, it is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Any more opinions would be greatly appreciated.</p>
