<p>I hate to be negative - but I don’t think you have that good of a chance of getting in. Sorry.</p>

3

<p>that’s what i figured but I still hope…what about tufts university or emory?</p>

<p>I also took SAT 2’s – US 790 French 690 Math 600</p>

4

<p>Is your GPA weighted or unweighted and what is your class rank?</p>

5

<p>could i get some other oppinions? thanks.</p>

6

<p>unweighted… i really have no idea what my class rank is maybe top 75 out of 200??
i know i shouldnt rely on this but…i’m one of two hispanics in my class and i’m at my school on a scholarship.</p>

<p>I think that both Tufts and Emory are going to be high reaches (not likely in my opinion). Also, I have noticed that you will need need-based financial aid. I don’t think that you are going to qualify for much (if any) merit-based aid at any of these schools and they don’t guarantee to meet need. I think that you really need to start looking at schools from the financial aspect also.</p>

<p>thanks, I’ve applied to various scholarships outside of schools…non profit. I realize that my financial situation isn’t the best but i’ve worked really hard and don’t want to let that get in my way. As far as academics my junior year was very strong and recieved 5 on Ap.I do have a list of schools that I am more likely to get into.</p>

9

<p>are there any other opinions on my chances?</p>

10

<p>sorry about the same as OhioMom2. did you apply to a safety?</p>

11

<p>yeah i’m in at charleston honors–dont really want to go there, only applied becasue of sibling</p>

<p>fordham, american? and UGA
is there really no hope? I thought maybe tufts? I attended the voives program and speak with the admissions counselor–said my diversty could help? i have other EC and my grade improvement might help? went from 3.3(freshman year) to 3.9 ( junior year last term).</p>

12

<p>Are there any other thoughts on Emory/tufts/gtwn( reach I know)…i’m starting to think I got my hopes way too high.</p>

13

<p>other thoughts?</p>

14

<p>anyone?? hate to bug but i’m freaking out my counselor said i had a good chance at emory</p>

15

<p>Great Subject Test scores.
You think you could get your SAT Reasoning up?</p>

<p>You chances at admission aren’t bad at all, just up in the air.</p>

<p>If you spend much more time taking practice exams, going over the questions you got wrong, figuring out why you got them wrong, you’ll be golden.</p>

16

<p>hmm…no chance on getting SATs up i had to use fee waiver and only let me take it once with subject tests…my ACT breakdown is pretty good actually 29, 30, 31s for most sections except science which brought it down…i got a 25 on science</p>

<p>oppinions?</p>
