My Chances at Lehigh, Syracuse, more!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>White, middle class male. I'd like to stay in Ohio, New York, or PA.
Looking into International Relations or History if IR isn't available.</p>

<p>I've taken basically the hardest courseload my school has to offer, besides advanced/ap english the past two years. (I'm not that much of a masochist)</p>

<p>92-93 unweighted average
Ranked somewhere in the top 15-20%
SAT - 2020 - 640V/680W/700M (I'll be taking it again just for kicks, hoping for 2100)</p>

<p>My Senior classes are AP American Govt, AP Physics, AP Calc, English 12, Economics, and the super senior electives of American History through Movies and US and the World Today. I completed 3 years of spanish also, with a 97 on the regents, but the AP course wasn't offered so I dropped it.</p>

<p>Pretty weak on the EC's, but I've done volunteer work at a local historical center, I'm a member of Key and DECA clubs, and I should get accepted into NHS this year</p>

<p>I've worked summer jobs at Dairy Queen and the historical center after I did my volunteer work for them.</p>

<p>I'm looking at:
Syracuse
Allegheny
Colgate
Lehigh
SUNY Buffalo
SUNY Geneseo</p>

<p>Money is a major issue, so it will basically come down to whether or not I recieve scholarships from each school.</p>

<p>Bump and including I got a 4 on the AP US History test last year. My school only offers a total of 5 APs throughout all four years.</p>

3

<p>colgate is a reach, lehigh is a match/slight reach, you're in everywhere else.</p>

4

<p>Might look at Bucknell or Holy Cross-very similar to Colgate.</p>

5

<p>Thanks so far, giving one last bump.</p>

6

<p>middlebury college - rediculously similar to colgate.</p>

7

<p>Alright, I lied. Another bump.</p>

<p>Anyone know how Lehigh or Syracuse are about giving need-based scholarships? Those are the two I'm interested in the most. I figure that Buffalo will give me some sort of merit based money, Geneseo possibly, but doubtful about 'Cuse/Lehigh.</p>

8

<p>Another Bump!</p>

<p>Found out the other day I'm ranked 20/124 with a 91.5 overall GPA in my first three years. Any other input would be great. I will probably apply ED to Lehigh if I like it if that matters any.</p>

9

<p>...One more?</p>

<p>Just looking for as much input as possible.</p>

10

<p>...Bump Again! I applied ED to Lehigh, if that matters any.</p>

11

<p>And another bump! Please, just looking for any other input on Lehigh, since that's the only one I'm that worried about.</p>

12

<p>If Lehigh accepts you, I think they will come through with aid you need. Good luck.</p>

13

<p>That'd be great rogracer. I've read that only 50% even need aid in the first place and Lehigh has a very high amount of endowment.</p>

14

<p>Bump once again. I ended up improving my verbal 10 points (yay). My SAT is now 700m/650v/680w. Overall GPA of 91.5, Ranked 20/124.</p>

<p>I ended up appylying to Lehigh ED, Lafayette, Syracuse, Canisius, Allegheny, SUNY Geneseo, and SUNY at Buffalo.</p>

<p>Any other chances would be good :)</p>

15

<p>You might as well apply to SUNY Binghamton...it's the best of the SUNY schools and I think you have a great chance</p>

16

<p>I thought about Binghamton, but I'd rather stay closer to home with Buffalo/Geneseo and I can't imagine there is that big of a difference in quality between them all.</p>

17

<p>Last bump. For real.</p>

18

<p>You stand a good chance at aid at Syracuse if you bump the SAT to 2100. They give very good aid.</p>
