<p>9th grade: went to a different school (Youth Services) because in 8th grade i missed 30 days of school. My mom was working out of town and I was basically living by myself at the age of 15 so my original high school decided to put me in this school for a year until my mom got her regular job back. I might decide to write about this in an essay for college.</p>

3

<p>hahaha i slept through the whole class. does anyon have any insight or input on my chances? thx.</p>

4

<p>bummmmmmmmppppp plz? anyone…</p>

5

<p>Your chances are solid. Your GPA is good. Your SATs and ACTs are very low though. If you have time you should retake them. ECs are also pretty great.</p>

6

<p>I would have to say no at Syracuse due to your SAT score. Take some practice tests so you can raise that score.</p>

7

<p>I would say no also to SU. Good chances though at Duquesne and Ohio. Two others to possibly look into are Seton Hall (NJ) and Towson (MD). Best of luck!</p>

8

<p>thx guys! yea im def gunna retake both tests at the begining of next year.</p>

9

<p>Everything looks fine for all 3 of those schools but do try to get your SATS up a little. If you get your total SATS to above 1900 then you might even get s good amount of scholarship money!</p>

<p>Just some advice, anyone planning on taking prelaw as a major is wasting their time. They score the lowest on the LSATs and have among the lowest acceptance rates to the T14 (no doubt because the major fails to prepare one for the logical reasoning aptitude needed for a high LSAT score). Take a major you will enjoy and do well in that requires a good deal of logical thinking.</p>
