My Chances for Georgia Tech, U of Chicago, Vanderbilt, FSU, Tufts?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>These are my reach schools (as in distance and cost.) I've already been accepted to my safety schools.</p>

<p>• 3.97 GPA unweighted</p>

<p>• 4.8 weighted (will go up before I graduate. It went from a 4.1 in 10th grade to a 4.8 in 11th when I changed schools) </p>

<p>•31 ACT (34 CR, 33 Math, 29 English, 29 Science)</p>

<p>My school does not rank because those at the bottom have a 3.75 unweighted GPA and a 4.0 weighted. I know, however that I am in the top 20% of my class.</p>

<p>I am a virtuoso pianist, and have been playing for eleven years. I have placed highly from a music school chain's yearly competitions. I am a intermediate violinist and guitarist. I volunteer with the youth at my church and sing in the adult choir. I am a published author and avid writer. I am an African American female planning on studying Computer Science with a household income of $48,000 (as of October 2013. My family's tax return will reflect an income of close to 100K this year, though.) I was a National Achievement Outstanding Participant (my SAT scores were only slightly above average; I was absolutely surprised at this news.) I also have 100 community service hours and will get the Florida Academic Bright Futures scholarship.</p>

<p>Also, I'm curious to your opinions on the possible aid I may receive to these schools.</p>

<p>I forgot to add: I will achieve 60 credit-hours along with my Associate’s of Arts degree in May 2014. I know many top-tier schools do not accept these, but I also want to add it.</p>

<p>I think you’re in at GSU and Tech, then Vandy and Tufts are moderate reaches. UChicago is without question the toughest on your list.</p>

<p>Bump (sorry if this is annoying)</p>

<p>You have talent in music and writing, but your score is kind a low for UC. </p>

<p>When you say you are a published author, is it self-publish?</p>

<p>@Cherryli2015,</p>

<p>Thanks. Yeah, I think a 31 ACT is at the bottom 25% for UChicago.</p>

<p>I won a short story contest in my community, so it was professionally published (I guess.)</p>

<p>UChicago: reach (try increasing your ACT?)
Vanderbilt: low reach
