<p>I'm a white Jewish female from the Philadelphia area. I attend a public high school, have taken 5 AP classes, and have taken mostly honors/AP all of high school except for some maths and sciences. Because i'm not very good at math and had some bad teachers, my GPA is a 3.2 unweighted(but i hear most colleges re-weigh them? so it should go up). In top 25% of my class. My highest scores on the SAT were 660 math, 700 reading, 740 writing. I don't do a ton of extracurriculars but I'm involved/have been involved in a few things. This is my list of schools I'm looking at, please let me know if you know any specifics about their admissions and how good of a chance you think I have of getting in.
I'm interested in studying education which is in the agricultural college, which I've heard is easir to get into because it is less popular.</p>
<p>Low chance. 1360 M+CR, 3.2 UW GPA, top 25%, virtually no EC, picking CALS because you think its the easiest to get into, yeah good luck with those stats.</p>
<p>OP, ignore the poster above, he’s unnecessarily abrasive.</p>
<p>If your ECs show that you’re passionate about what you want to study, that’s good, and having a few you’re dedicated to is better than spreading yourself thin just to fluff up your resume. Your SATs are solid and just about in the middle 50%. The thing that can hurt you is your class rank - most people are top 10%. Your GPA obviously leaves a bit to be desired.</p>
<p>Still, apply. A great essay can increase your chances significantly. Good luck!</p>
<p>OP: you should try nevertheless. </p>
<p>this is kind of off-topic but is it just me or does a 700 sounds sooooo much better than a 690.</p>
<p>hah yea it does. also this is probably a stupid question but what does OP stand for?</p>
<p>its means Original Poster, so you. </p>
<p>What’s the EC you were talking about?</p>
