Help Me Please, Im So Scared About Colleges!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Chances for Michigan, Wisconsin, Lehigh, Indiana, Syracuse, Maryland, Georgia, Miami, SUNY Buffalo, SUNY Binghampton?</p>

<p>Ethnicity: White male</p>

<p>Location: NY</p>

<p>GPA: Our school gives number grades out of 100 so my weighted average from 9-11 grade is 99.604. But remember....some people have well over a 100 weighted average (I think the highest this year is a 108). It would therefore be a 4.0 weighted GPA, and like a 3.6-3.7 unweighted. </p>

<p>Rank: Top 25% out of approx. 140 students (Very competitive grade)</p>

<p>SAT I: 550 math, 570 verbal, 630 writing (1120 without writing, 1750 with writing) I am retaking the SAT in October
SAT II: 700 US History
ACT: Will take in October</p>

<p>Activities: (All from grades 9-12):
Wrestling, baseball, chamber singers, interact community service club, students against drunk driving, newspaper club</p>

<p>Awards:
All-State Chorus (I made it in 11th grade but did not make it in 12th grade)
All-County Chorus (grade 9,10,11,12)
All-County Wrestling (grade 11)</p>

<p>Community Service:
35 hours at the Boys and Girls Club (grade 9)</p>

<p>Work Experience:
General counselor at the Boys and Girls Club summer camp, have my own small business on eBay, and some other small jobs. </p>

<p>AP Scores:
AP European History: 3
AP American History: 3
AP Language and Composition: 2 </p>

<p>Currently taking AP Government, AP Spanish, AP Physics, AP Literature</p>

<p>So therefore I took a combined 7 AP classes by the end of high school and the rest a majority of honors classes. </p>

<p>I also received an A from my college credit public speaking class at UCLA during a summer program.</p>

<p>I am mostly worried about my SAT scores because I think my GPA and all other stuff is fine, hopefully. I don’t know how the writing scores will factor in to the admissions. I am fairly confident my SAT scores will raise but I want to know how I stand at this moment and what I need to do to get into some of the other schools.</p>

<p>I would greatly appreciate some of your insights!</p>

<p>Which Miami, FL or OH??</p>

<p>I think you have a decent shot at getting into Wisconsin, being from Wisconsin, with your GPA, if you boost you SAT score, I truly believe that you have a great shot at getting in.</p>

<p>Best of luck</p>

<p>Miami FLA.</p>

<p>i think this is a shame, sometimes i sincerely hate the sat, but w.e. Blink I think you have honestly a great shot at all of your schools, just make sure you try and study really hard for this october 8th. Hopefully you have been taking a lot of practice tests, if you can get your sat to 2000~ michigan will go from a big reach to a match school, so try and really do good on that. And also, try to take 1 to 2 more SAT IIs in november or december..preferebly one math and one science. You've got awesome ECs, great GPA, im sure your essay/recs will be great, all you have to worry is the SAT I..hope that helps</p>

<p>dude, i'm applying to the same schools as you with a much lower gpa (85.5/100) but a higher SAT (1390), if you get ur sats up like 100 points you can definitely get into anything except UMICH, get it up 250 points, you are in everywhere</p>
