Last Chance Thread EVER!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey everyone, I thought I'd make one last chances thread. I know that the schools on my list seem like a reach, but I've already been accepted to my safety school which I would be moderatly happy attending. Thanks!</p>

<p>GPA: 3.4/4.0 UW 4.0/5.0 W (w/9th grade)
3.8/4.0 UW 4.6/5.0 W (w/o 9th grade)</p>

<p>Tests: 32 ACT single sitting, 770 and 800 on Chemistry and US History respectively.</p>

<p>12 AP classes taken</p>

<p>ECs: On county education board, president of two career-oriented clubs, yearbook editor, baseball for 3 years, number of internships, accelerated HS program for liberal arts, summer camp counselor, and couple more.</p>

<p>Awards: AP Scholar W/ Distinction, several journalism awards with very long names, outstanding contribution to history department</p>

<p>Essays should be good, have a hook about a disability.</p>

<p>Recs will be stellar.</p>

<p>Really, my question is if the 3.4 GPA will hold me back, given the other stats. I screwed up freshman year, but have gotten pretty much all A's since then. I'll be majoring in economics in college.</p>

<p>UVA
NYU
UChicago
Princeton
Harvard
Northwestern
Stanford
UMichigan
Thanks.</p>

<p>Just as a comment, UMich unfortunately no longer recalculates GPA without freshman year. I’m not sure about the other schools, but if they don’t recalculate GPA, your chances of acceptance to most of the schools listed are slim. Though, your high upward trend might prove advantageous, and you do have decent standardized test scores. Your EC’s are decent, and your disability … depending on recalculation, might give you enough of a boost to be accepted into one of the above schools.</p>
