<p>Ok, here's my issue. I'm a junior, male, Florida. My grades are good; 4.25 weighted/ 3.9 unweighted. Class rank #13/351. 7 APs by graduation, 5 Dual enrolled, almost all others honors. Very good EC- selected for county leadership program, 4 years baseball, football, NHS, Collegiate studies class rep, ITS- performed at state level, 100+ hours community service. Problem is, I don't test well- 26 ACT, 1750 SAT. What are my chances? I'm visiting this summer.</p>
<p>just attended an info session; admissions made it very clear that they try to minimize negative things on app to the extent that they will even combine best scores ACROSS ALL TESTS…you can superscore the ACT and SAT or they will even take your best SAT section with your best ACT sections to make your app look better…does that help you at all?</p>
<p>also, your GPA at Elon will be astronomical: they add 1 point for honors and 2 for AP…your GPA is going to be ridiculous…congrats!!</p>
<p>Can’t hurt. Did they talk about what was most important to them? GPA, EC, test scores, essays? Maybe if I can’t get them up too much more it would help if my teacher recs addressed that- they see that I work hard and that I am involved in class. My test and exam scores are good- I’m more comfortable then.</p>
<p>^^academic record, then test scores, then essays/EC’s…it actually was one of the most refreshing info sessions I have been at in a long time…emphasis on “fit”…and they don’t really “push” that there is only one school for each kid…</p>
<p>My daughter was very similar - high GPA almost the exact SAT score and many AP classes as well as community service. She applied early decision, got in, loves it and did very well her first semester. Hope it helps.</p>
