Do you think I'll get accepted by any of these?

<p>Hey guys, I have a 3.6 GPA weighted, 2000 sat score, 30 act score, 11 on the sat essay. I know my GPA is low, it dropped as my parents nearly separated twice and left me with mild depression. It's all good now :) Retaking the SAT, will probably get above a 2100. </p>

<p>ECs: </p>

<p>NHS, </p>

<p>NTHS,</p>

<p>Rocketry club</p>

<p>Debate, </p>

<p>Chess, </p>

<p>UIL in math, number sense, calculator, science</p>

<p>Jazz band</p>

<p>Marching Band</p>

<p>Drumline</p>

<p>varsity swim team</p>

<p>engineering club</p>

<p>President/Creator of Aviation club, we've gotten like 10 people to fly airplanes</p>

<p>President of NTHS</p>

<p>Section leader of band</p>

<p>I have almost 2 years job experience as a book keeper</p>

<p>Hopefully will have 200+ community service by the end of this summer </p>

<p>I am Hispanic living in one of the poorest parts of the country (across the street from border wars)</p>

<p>Its a long story, but I, (with the help of a teacher) founded a high school aviation club. One of the first in Texas, it has grown to almost 30 people in less than a semester, over 10 people have received free flying lessons and flown a plane. Recognized in the news papers, TV, school websites, and college professors from UNT have asked to speak to the club. As president and founder, I made all of this happen. </p>

<p>Other interesting things- 1st Place in the state of Texas for chess. This was 7th grade, not sure if it's relevant. I have a trophy that's almost 6 feet tall though :D</p>

<p>Taking an engineering internship at a local business next year.</p>

<p>Helped found the Ultimate Frisbee Organization at my school, one of the first members and supporters, there are no officers though</p>

<p>My job experience as a book keeper: My parents own three businesses. I have been working two years as their secretary/bookkeeper. (This isn't some slack off scam, I clocked in and out and was on payroll like any other employee) Roughly 20 hours a week. </p>

<p>My own ebay business includes buying, selling, and reselling various electronics, collectibles, and vintage products, making up to 500 a week on most successful times. </p>

<p>GPA is lacking, I know, but I'm taking 7 AP classes next year along with the internship I mentioned.</p>

<p>Schools I'm into:</p>

<p>Note I live in Texas </p>

<p>Tulane</p>

<p>UT</p>

<p>Rice</p>

<p>UCB</p>

<p>Loyola (LA)</p>

<p>University of Chicago</p>

<p>UCLA</p>

<p>MIT</p>

<p>UF</p>

<p>Duke</p>

<p>Yes I know that's a lot of schools, and most are tough! But I think with my rigorous schedule and my unique ECs I could have a chance!</p>

<p>Which of these would you guess I would be accepted into assuming my SAT is above 2100 by the time I apply and my grades are all A+ by the time I apply next year. Do you think I'll get accepted by any of these?</p>

<p>Thanks! What about Rice?</p>

3

<p>Oh sorry didn’t notice it hahaha I see it now</p>

4

<p>Bumpppppppp</p>

5

<p>Bump again</p>

<p>Chance me back. I’m the Michigan Ross thread.</p>

<p>To answer your question, I think you should try and get your ACT/SAT up. Also try and get straight A’s from here on out. I would say you have a decent shot at all schools except Mit, uchicago, and Duke.</p>

7

<p>You need to look for more match schools and safety. These are mostly reach/dream schools for you.</p>

8

<p>You have really impressive stats, considering your situation! You need to write killer essays to convince these colleges that you’re more than just a transcript. </p>

<p>IMO apply early to UChicago if you really want to get in. They accepted 95% of their class early this year, and wait-listed a whole bunch of qualified kids who applied RD because they knew UChicago would be turned down for the Ivies.</p>

9

<p>^um 95% of class accepted by EA- doubt it.</p>

<p>The OP’s GPA is pretty low for the most selective schools, but one never knows with college admissions-</p>

<p>Thanks guys, it’s all helpful. I already have safeties like TAMU. This is a list of “dream schools”. But if I get rejected by every single one of them, I’ll go to tamu. There’s a good chance ill be accepted by one or two right?</p>

<p>Complik TAMU is a bad school. You are also a URM so I wouldn’t be surprised if you got accepted to some of the better schools like Duke, assuming your SAT was above like a 2200 because you don’t have a strong rank according to other posts. I would go to UT if I were in your spot where you were standing.</p>
