Do I Still Have a Chance

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>As I finalized my college list, i discovered to my horror, that Pitzer says your high school studies should include 3 years of foreign language. COllege Board Website says they require three...</p>

<p>Here's my problem..I took Japanese my freshmen and Soph year. However, the class was a joke ( i think i averaged like a 97) and really wasn't challenging..so I dropped it my junior year in favor of AP Psych</p>

<p>Am i screwed for admissions, or do i still have a snowball's chance in h*ll?</p>

<p>I took 7 APs in high school..i'm third in my class, and have a 34 ACT if that affects anything</p>

<p>The reason why you dropped it doesn’t really matter since it won’t say “dropped because it was easy” on your transcript. </p>

<p>Pitzer isn’t that hard to get into and your ACT score is way higher than their average so you should be fine. Have your counselor send a note or something saying why you dropped it or mention it in your interview if Pitzer offers them. Where else are you applying?</p>

<p>I emailed them on thursday to explain the situation</p>

<p>I’m also applying to Smith, Union, Scripps, Pomona and UAlabama</p>

<p>Did they email you back? I’m sure they’ll say how it will effect your admission.</p>

<p>I would take a Japanese class this summer or something, though.</p>

<p>You should check out some higher schools. Your scores and rank put you far above all of those schools except Pomona (which is a good match).</p>

<p>I don’t care about higher schools
I just want to know if i still stand a shot at pitzer</p>

<p>there is no way for me to get japanese in before college unless i wait until next summer…</p>

<p>argghhhhhh</p>

<p>i hope they email me back soon</p>
