<p>I'm an upcoming senior who wants to get into big and great schools but my parents dont wanna pay the money at all, i know they have it but they want me to get a scholarship instead. So i just wanted to know if my profile would suffice for my somewhat lack in scores</p>

<h2>You won’t get in anywhere. You’re hopeless. Commit seppuku immediately.</h2>

<p>Seriously, though, with a little more depth (as opposed to breadth) in your ECs, maintaining those superb grades, and good essays on your app, you should have a good shot anywhere.</p>

3

<p>hahaha how do u suppose i get more depth in my ec’s?</p>

4

<p>HAHAHAHAHA You’re going to Community College you dumbass.</p>

5

<p>^get the **** out of here</p>

<p>Raise your SAT to around 2250, and you have a great shot everywhere. Also, I love Aca Deca, you made a great choice by being in it all 4 years. I didn’t even know it was possible :stuck_out_tongue:
Anyways, you could always head to somewhere like USC and get a free ride. You’re also set at regents scholarships at lower UC’s(maybe even UCLA/UC Berkeley). Look mostly at private schools, they give out the most money. Although I’ve heard NYU is absolute garbage at financial aid.</p>

<p>I don’t really know what pzevallos216 was talking about, but it appears that you have great depth in your E.C.'s and have made progression each year. Your resume overall looks fantastic. You’re a match at anywhere but the ivies (and the other top privates such as WUSTL where no one is a match), but you still have a shot even there. I agree that raising your SAT even 50 points would help immensely.</p>

<p>I missed the “jobs” section. My bad, yo.</p>

<p>thanks everyone! and yeah im studying SAT like crazy this summer just to get it as close to 23 as possible, what do u guys think about chem though? i wanna retake it but im not sure…</p>

<p>Well, seeing as you wanna become an orthopedic surgeon, you should present an aptitude in science to colleges, so I’d recommend a retake in Chemistry or a high score in another science test like biology E/M.</p>
