<p>I’m from New England but go to a prestigious prep school. I had a D on my junior year transcript and two C’s and I’m going to CofC. Mind you, my test score were nothing higher than average. I guess it’s not that hard.</p>
<p>On the other hand, there is a student over on the Univ of South Carolina forum who attended a private school in CT and was turned down at CofC although he was accepted (and now attends) Univ of South Carolina.</p>
<p>if im a out of state student with a 3.0 and a act score of a 28 with a good background etc. would my chances of getting into cofc be good?</p>
<p>Realtime, I loved your post. I am trying to send my son, we are waiting on a decision. 
I am a graduate of Miami of Ohio and my son also applied there, JMU, Clemson, and Saint Joseph’s. My parents live in SC and I would love for him to be in the south.</p>
<p>Zachstin, a little more information would be helpful do you take any ap honors or ib? good high school?</p>
<p>I got in out of state with a 27 ACT, 3.0 gpa, but all my classes are IB. A friend of mine got in with a much worse ACT/SAT, and the same gpa. I think you have a pretty decent shot :)</p>
<p>So excited!</p>
<p>Just visited CofC and it was very nice.</p>
<p>I’m a male junior who goes to a competitive public school in NY with a weighted GPA of 3.31. I have no APs just honors spanish but will be taking APs in 12th grade. My first SAT I took I got a 1730 or an 1170 out of 1600. I am yet to take the ACT. I only have a few JV sports from 9th and 10th grade and I am on the debate team and the SWATT. I know my ECs are bad and my GPA is nothing special. I will be getting a job this summer. Hoping to get my SATs up. I also want to go to law school almost definitly, is CofC a good undergrad for law?</p>
<p>What are my chances?</p>

<p>Anyone know anything about the College of Art at CofC? My daughter is interested?</p>
<p>EA definitely helps</p>
<p>Collegeready-so hard to predict these things. You certainly are in the ballpark.</p>
<ol>
<li>definitely yes</li>
<li>out of state helps</li>
<li>probably not, but very nice Hillel there. Contact them and start a conversation.</li>

<p>You can analyze the common data set as well as anyone. Your ACTs are right on the mark . Your GPA is a little low. Start communicating with your adcom, write a great essay and make clear to them you would enroll if admitted. There is no magic here. You can just work at improving the odds.</p>
<p>I have a 24 on act. 3.892 weighted gpa. 3.120 unweighted gpa. And i’m ranked 54th out of 202 students. How likely is it that i’ll get into college of charleston?</p>
<p>Hello all!
I am currently a high school senior and will be graduating this spring. I am highly interested in the College of Charleston. I’m wondering how good you think my chances of acceptance i s to this college. My current GPA is a 3.2 unweighted and 3.5 weighted. My ACT score is a 22, but I am taking it once more later this month (october 27th) so there is a small chance it will go up. I also have over 200 hours of community service and I take all honors courses. I have taken four years of spanish as well an been out of the country on service explorations with my school, hopefully this will strengthen my resume. What do you think? I would love to hear your responses!
Thanks!</p>

<p>Son applied EA Honors school. From new england. Got in and LOVING it! Living in honors dorm. GPA 3.7 unweighted, 1970/2400 Sats, took a couple of AP’s.
To apply for honors, needed to write an essay, they don’t use common app for some reason. I think the school is easy to get into, and if you have a bright student, def. push them to apply for honors. They are looking for smart boys.</p>
<p>Son has 3.2 uw GPA, 2100 SAT, 7 APs and a college course taken this semester. Should he expect Honors College admission? He is OOS so merit aid is a must to make this work. Are they typically generous?</p>
<p>Sent from my SCH-I510 using CC</p>
<p>He will def. get in to regular college, and high probability into honors college. He has to write an extra essay. I think with SAT over 2000, you will get some aide.</p>
<p>I have a 3.1 GPA with two AP courses, and below average SAT scores. I have an outstanding essay and many extra curricular activities. I know the SAT scores are a problem, but I feel this does not represent who I am as a student. Does anyone have any ideas on what type of chance someone from out of state applying regular decision would have at gettting accepted?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I have found that the college board statistics on GPA, SAT, and ACT scores invaluable.
Here is the link for CofC:</p>
<p><a href=“BigFuture College Search”>https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/college-university-search/college-of-charleston?q=College%2Bof%2BCharleston&tp=bf&searchType=site_qfs&bf_cat=college</a></p>
<p>as you see they accepted 41% with reading and math scores 500-599. They do not look at writing scores.</p>
<p>Once click on above link, click on applying section for gpa and sat stats</p>
<p>Hope that helps, college board has all the stats for every school.</p>
