<p>amen...i think i have seen the light.</p>
<p>if an interviewer ever asks "What would you change about yourself if you could"</p>
<p>i'd simply smile and say nothing since no ones perfect and if i changed i wouldn't be the unique person that i am now..</p>
<p>would that get me rejected? probably lmao</p>
<p>but totally worth that feeling :P</p>
<p>Definitely my extracurriculars... no leadership roles, no volunteer work, no work experience. And because I haven't been able to find any suitable opportunities, it looks like that's not going to change.</p>
<p>I'd definitely change my GPA...and maybe ECs.</p>
<p>or actually, I'd choose to have started caring about college earlier.</p>
<p>definitely my sophomore year ... pulled me way down to where i cant get back up ...</p>
<p>This is interesting. More than 40% of the voters said they'd work to change their GPA if they could.</p>
<p>I definitely would have changed...procrastination. Everything just sort of falls on you in junior year and the beginning of senior year. I would have tried to accomplish more in the summer of sophomore year if I could. That's my biggest change.</p>
<p>yeah on second thought i'd just make myself procrastinate less...and like everything would go up</p>
<p>Try visiting the site Uchance.com</a> - Home If you enter in your stats (SAT, GPA, etc.) it will give you your percentage chance of being accepted into any school. It doesn't take into account certain non-statistical factors but it is good for coming up with a list of colleges that fall into the three main categories (safety, 50/50, and reach schools). Hope this helps with your college applications!</p>
<p>Looks aiight</p>
<p>Definitely my HS grades! I completely slacked off during my freshman and sophomore years and wish I would have taken class more seriously back then. My priorities were 180 degrees out of whack as I was more concerned with friends than I was with actual school work. Counselers constantly pounded into my brain that "junior year is the most important year" so I was under the delusion junior year was the only year that mattered. I actually applied myself and made ALL straight A's in AP courses through my junior year, resulting in a cumalitive (and mediocre) GPA of 3.4889 to put on my college applications. </p>
<p>Unfortunately I was forced to work pretty hard for all my HS life to help support my family (and still work during my senior year) and wasn't able to dedicate myself to after-school clubs or activities, so extra curriculars would be my second priority (grades first) if I were able to alter the past.</p>
<p>Looks like redspur26 owns that chances site s/he is pushing, which increases skepticism about it. I like mychances.net, though.</p>
<p>If i could rewind i would. I slacked off as an underclassmen, and even last year as a junior, i only got one A, and that was in AP Environmental. God, if only i could go back and retake everything, i would beast it up.</p>
<p>I'd change my high school performance altogether. I would have demanded that my parent place me in a different school, that they supported my extracurriculars waaaay more, and over all found an academic mentor to keep me on my toes.
The rest is regret of lack of experience, my social life wasn't much to speak of and I stressed over that a lot, stupid move.</p>
<p>hey me a newbie... could u guys help me out> what are my chances of gettin into hamilton with 2 B'S AND a C</p>
<p>you still have a chance but that tells us nothing. GPA? Test scores?</p>
<p>Those are forgivable grades.</p>
<p>Ahhh, I wish I had known how much emphasis schools put on ec's earlier, like even last year!</p>
<p>screwed around as a freshman, ended up with a B+ and A-'s, not that i m complaining, its just that my GPA and rank could be a lot higher.</p>
<p>I really regret slacking on my ECs. I only have one leadership role this year and it's secretary. I have very little volunteer work as well. If only I could go back... ahhh.</p>
<p>I think my grades are alright. I would have tried to do one or two more ECs. Definitely would have started the college application process a lot sooner than 2 weeks before the ED deadline.</p>
<p>i wish i had better SAT scores because i have a low one i think</p>
<p>EXTRACURRICULARS. I wish I had decided on one area of interest and stuck to it.
i hate being told that i am smart enough to get into _____ University, but don't show enough focus/passion in one area. We're in high school for godssake! Who is driven to be an oncologist, german scholar, or traffic engineer at sixteen?</p>
