<p>My school keeps telling me to apply and that its a good school but when I look at its engineering rank on USNEW it ranks low.</p>
<p>I have a UW GPA: 3.03
BAD ECs
Didn't do much until my Junior yr
Have 4 Honors classes
Taking 3 Housatonic College credit classes.</p>
<p>If needed I could go into more detail.</p>
<p>what are your SATs</p>
<p>Need ^ that information as well your grades in the cc classes.</p>
<p>SAT 960 M&CR first time
Second time I don’t know yet, I hope its an 1230 or 1300
Third hasn’t been taken yet</p>
<p>CCP Medical Careers B+ I missed 1 assignment
CCP Precalculus B bad Test but an A is ceratin this time
CCP Composition D sadly my essay sucked and my Portfolio was lacking. I’m doing better I think.</p>
<p>I would say you have a small chance. You need something to counterbalance that GPA, so you will need a very high SAT score. Much higher than what you have.</p>
<p>15% chance maybe? If its that I might not even bother applying but If I get all As in my other classes I should get a 3.6 by the end of my Senior doesn’t that count?</p>
<p>I’m not comfortable giving a percent chance, and there is no way to measure that. </p>
<p>I also don’t see how you can attain a cumulative GPA of 3.6 even if you earned all A’s, but I would have to run the numbers. Your hope would be to do incredibly well on a SAT retake.</p>
<p>Well thats W I did it using my school websites calculator but that could easily be wrong.</p>
<p>You may very well be able to; I no idea. Regardless, I strongly recommend studying a LOT for the SATs and retaking them.</p>
<p>So is 1230 good enough? I’m reaching for a 1370 on my third time.</p>
<p>Again, I can’t give you a number simply because that’s impossible. Just get the highest score you can.</p>
<p>So what if I go in for Nursing instead of Engineering does it make a difference? I can increase my SAT but if my GPA still overshadows it I’m just gonna take the chance and apply anyways.</p>
<p>Those are drastically different fields, and Nursing looks for very specific course and EC criteria. They are also different schools. </p>
<p>If you want to study Engineering, apply to that program. If you want to be a Nurse, apply to that. </p>
<p>Either way, retake your SAT and do well in class.</p>
<p>The SAT is what scares me because doing well in class is easy my teacher even said if I keep this up I’ll have all A’s this MK Period.</p>
<p>I can try and get in 3hrs of Service a day and sacrifice those precious weekends but I doubt that’ll make a difference.</p>
<p>If I do that and take that HCC Spanish class I can say I’m good as requirements go.</p>
<p>Feb is the deadline and I planned on getting my application in by the 5th of this month.</p>
<p>What else can I do to get my chances up higher? I can’t win States in a month and I can’t just instantly become some community leader.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about community service at this point. Concentrate on grades and SAT score.</p>
<p>Well I can fill out the app now and send in my SAT scores at a later date?</p>
<p>What if I take subject test?</p>
<p>If I were you, I would not worry about subject tests. Concentrate on the SAT, which you can send in after you application. Your application will not, however, be considered compete until scores are submitted.</p>
<p>thanks philosopher I applied but my nov sats were sadly a 1120 for Math and CR.</p>
<p>Would they still accept me into the other UCONNs if I fail to make it to the main one?</p>
<p>Hartford is my alternative.</p>
<p>How long would it take for them to transfer me into the main campus?</p>
<p>If you are rejected for Storrs, and you indicated in your application that you would like to be considered for a branch, then they will do so. </p>
<p>You may transfer to the Storrs campus from a branch campus at any time after one semester.</p>
