help me narrow my choices..

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am a senior and I just took my SATs.. the score was around 1500s and I was pretty knocked out by that. On the other hand, I looked over my transcripts and I had a GPA of 3.6 out of 4.0~</p>

<p>Right now, I am applying for several colleges/universities, but I want to narrow down the ones I am pretty sure I could get in. I took an online "quiz" and I put all my info in it; the results were awkward...</p>

<p>SATs --> 1500s
GPA --> 3.6 out of 4.0
AP courses --> Biology, Psychology, English, Calculus</p>

<p>Schools:</p>

<p>UCI
UCSB
UCM
UCR
UH at Manoa
Hawaii Pacific Universty
Massachusetts College of Medicine
University of Portland
Dartmouth College
Cornell Univ.
Univ. of Penn
John Hopkins Univ.
Boston Univ.</p>

<p>1500 out of 1600 or 2400?</p>

3

<p>I'm assuming if you just took the SAT, it's out of 2400. No surprise, but take the ivies and Hopkins off your list.</p>

4

<p>1500/ 2400???</p>

<p>Sorry but no chance at:
Dartmouth College
Cornell Univ.
Univ. of Penn
John Hopkins Univ.</p>

<p>xcutioners:</p>

<p>Assuming you are a California resident,
UCI/UCSB: Reach
UCR/UCM: Slight Reach</p>

6

<p>mmm... I'll be a California resident once I take my drivers license in Jan. 2007 =D~</p>

<p>also...
I forgot to put that I'm in the JROTC program for 3 years... etc.</p>

7

<p>Maybe you should look at some schools that don't require the SATs. I agree- forget about Hopkins, Cornell, Dartmouth, UPenn. BU will be a reach.</p>

8

<p>Aright, I took out John Hopkin Univ., Dartmouth College, & UPenn.</p>

<p>I've sent 2 applications for Cal-States (Long Beach & East Bay)...
I've sent 6 applications for UCs (Irvine, Merced, san Diego, Davis, LA, Santa Cruz)</p>

<p>mm... I want to know my chances of getting into the remaining colleges...</p>

9

<p>xcutioners:</p>

<p>UCI/UCSB: Super Reach (out of state)
UCR/UCM: Reach (out of state)</p>

10

<p>Hawaii Pacific Universty...Match/Safety
Massachusetts College of Medicine...Match
University of Portland...Match
UC-Merced...Match
UH-Manoa...Safety</p>

<p>Try: Oregon State, UOregon, Washington State, Arizona State, and UArizona, if you like the West Coast.</p>

11

<p>Did you just ... not study for it?</p>

12

<p>kyledavid80:</p>

<p>I didn't really study for the SATs...</p>

13

<p>was that your first time taking them? yikes, that's a bit late to leave it...your commitment to jrotc will help your app, but i'd encourage you to take advantage of the "if you'd like to explain anything about your app" section...
but def look at non-SAT schools...you've got a decent GPA (idk about weighting at your school so i can't say more), so don't give up yet,</p>

14

<p>Massachusetts College of Medicine</p>

<p>Huh? I have been living in Massachusetts for 11 years and I have never heard of this school before. When I googled it, only Harvard popped up.</p>

15

<p>OP why not start a school by that name then? I think i saw a movie once about that happening.</p>
