Lafayette college chances

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am really riding on my father's legacy to get me in, but I'm having serious doubts, especially because of my senior grades. Please elaborate.</p>

<p>SATs (horrendous)
math - 600
CR - 570
Writing - 530</p>

<p>GPA: 94.4</p>

<p>Rank: 148/690 (top 25%)</p>

<p>my grades from freshman year to junior year had an uphill trend course-wise (no weighted courses freshman year to 4 sophomore year to 6 junior year, and now 6 senior year) and grade-wise.</p>

<p>Football(vigorous program, captain) - 4 years
Track - 4 years
Math league - 2 years
german club - 2 years
weightlifting (entied with football program) - 4 years</p>

<p>i was also nominated to NHS and the national society of high school scholars twice junior and senior year</p>

<p>My grades have been horrendous this year as I have gotten two Ds and one F the first marking period, and although these grades have slightly increased to the second marking period, they are still extremely low. Additionally, I have been forced to drop psychology (my only AP class this year) because of my low grade and need for a study hall. Football was part of the reason for my low grades, but ultimately I became very lazy. My SATs are obviously well below the range for Lafayette and my extracurriculars don't look strong (although I worked my butt off in high school to maintain my GPA and participate in those activities.)</p>

<p>Lafayette has a D1 football team. Are you good enough to get recruited? The coach might be able to get you in even if he doesn’t offer one of the allotted scholarships. Otherwise, this is a reach.</p>

<p>Here is mine if you want

<p>You didn’t say whether you’re good enough to play? Are you?</p>

<p>If you are one of the captains on your high school football team, with a class size of 690, I’m willing to bet you’re pretty good, right?</p>

<p>Playing football and being a legacy will be your only way in. Your academic profile is putrid, even for my standards, lol.</p>
