Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I would like to gurantee myself entree to at least one of these colleges:</p>

<p>Michigan State
Boston University
Syracuse University
Ohio State University
New York University</p>

<p>So I have a very low GPA, but none of these are very prestigious colleges, maybe more average or a little above average. The following are stats after senior year</p>

<p>Honors Classes:
Honors English 9
Honors English 10
Honors Algebra 2
Honors Pre Calc
Honors Biology
Honors World Studies</p>

<p>AP/IB Classes:
AP Calc AB
AP Calc BC
AP Language and Comp
IB Biology
AP European History
IB Literature
IB Chemistry</p>

<p>Regular Classes:
Economics
US History
Chemistry</p>

<p>Electives:
Astronomy
Anatomy
Physcology
Debate
Spanish I-III</p>

<p>EC's:
3 Years Debate Team
4 Years Quiz Bowl
4 Years Tennis
2 Years Out Doors Club
2 Years One Small Step
2 Years Chess Club
2 Years Astronomy Club
1 Year Spanish Club</p>

<p>Volunteering:
100 Hours at Hospital</p>

<p>Have not taken ACT or SAT yet, but I recieved a 164 on my PSAT without prep, so I'm assuming with prep I should be able to get at least 1700-1800 on my SAT and 25+ on my ACT. The real problem is with all these classes there is no weighted GPA giving me about a 3.2 GPA</p>

<p>The GPA can't be raised any higher then that, and It's low because I took all honors classes my freshman year and wasn't ready for it and I was still weak on my GPA sophomore year. Will these colleges consider that I took some of the most rigorous courses at my school? Also I doubt I can get above a 30 on my ACT even with prep, due to being bad at standardized tests, so would shooting for a 28 be good and guarantee success?</p>

<p>What I really want to know is what can I do to guarantee myself to get into one of these colleges?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>enter competitions (you need awards) and get some leadership positions in your ECs, I consider NYU a prestigious school, that’s probably a reach for you considering your GPA and SAT/ACT.</p>

<p>I think BU is good to aim for, you have a good chance there, the other schools I’m not very familiar with.</p>

<p>I see, Would I have a good chance at NYU if I get a 30 on my ACT?
They will consider that I took mostly hard classes right?</p>

<p>They take ALL things into consideration. Perhaps ECs, insightful essays, and recommendations can compensate for your gpa. With all that being said, don’t give up on yourself.

<p>Yes. NYU is almost guaranteed with a good essay and 30 on your ACT.</p>
