Hard Worker But Low Stats- Chance Me

<p>Stats: I have taken 8 Honors classes, 5 AP classes, and 3 college classes through the running start program. I have a 3.6 UW GPA and a 4.3 W GPA. I am in the top quarter of my class and I have a 26 ACT. I am Hispanic and am applying for financial aid. </p>

<ul>
<li>I have always challenged myself in school, but have always gotten a B in AP math and science classes. I have taken AP classes ranging from Art History to Calculus. I am eager to learn everything and I love to challenge myself. My GPA dropped last year because I moved to a new high school my junior year, but as of now I have a 4.0 UW GPA this semester.</li>

<p>Under Columbia, you have great chances. Your ACT isnt too bad as long as english and math are above your average score. Also believe it or not, you have a pretty high chance for Columbia - Legacy, great ECA’s, and challenging courses. Your GPA is quite good and they really look for potential and academically inclined/motivated students - your courses definitely resonate such attributes. I hope you get into Columbia though.</p>
