Low GPA, but I made it to wikipedia

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>How do you write a chance thread without sounding arrogant or revealing identifiable information? </p>

<p>College List:
BC
GW
Georgetown
BU
Wesleyan
NYU </p>

<p>and some safeties... </p>

<p>3.63 GPA ( this makes me cringe )
30 ACT</p>

<p>What sets me apart is my EC's. I founded what is now a successful international charity and am fairly well known for what I do. </p>

<p>How much can EC's outweigh a low GPA like this?</p>

<p>The thread title was mostly to attract attention...but if it's any indication of my success ( and I can name about 20 teachers who would not call this an indication of success) I'm frequently featured on TV, in newspapers, and yes, someone made a wikipedia page on me... I don't mention this to sound like a jerk, but I will be known for my charity work, not really my academics. </p>

<p>I have good recommendations and a one in a million essay topic</p>

<p>what do you think? ideally i would like to be in DC so georgetown is my numero uno</p>

<p>Georgetown will depend on how significant of an achievement your founding of a charity really is because it’s hard to make up for a 3.63 and a 30 ACT. You seem in good shape for all the other schools on your list, though.</p>

<p>yeah. your big hook will definately be a plus. but it depends how large a role that plays in the admission decision. Your gpa and acts are not that bad, but for schools like georgetown and bc, they are a bit on the low side…but i wish you all the best and good luck especially with gtown</p>
