My Chances / Please Respond

<p>I have a 3.1 GPA now at the end of my junior year; I will most likely graduate with a 3.2 GPA. I have a 1040 SAT/ 22 ACT. I am in the top 30% of my class. I have taken honors courses:
(H/AP): English I
Pre-Calculus
French III
French IV
I have a very strong extra-curricular background of over 1500 hours of volunteer work along with extra-curricular activities including:
French Club (4 Years)
Church Youth Group (10 Years)
Key Club Treasurer and Member (3 Years)
Natural Helper (2 Years)
Letterman's Club (2 Years)
Community Action Team (1 Year)
Coach of AYSO Youth Soccer (7 Years)
Coach of Youth Swim Team (3 Years)</p>

<p>I have also served on a Governor's Youth Advisory Council in Nevada for 2 Years and I am on the Youth Leadership Team at the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. That is also a two-year term.</p>

<p>I am Involved in sports including
4 Varsity Letters in High School Swim Team
1 Junior Varsity Letter for High School Golf Team
14 Years on the Club Swim Team for my city</p>

<p>My work experience consists of a part time job during the summer of my junior year (this year), and four years as the Marketing Manager to a major magazine in my community.</p>

<p>I have many recomendations from teachers and coaches as well as the principal of my school. I also have a part minority status (1/4 Asian).</p>

<p>Considering all of this, what are my chances (percentage wise) of getting into Oregon. Is there anything I can work on or fix to have a better chance of being admitted? I would love to be admitted to this school!!</p>

<p>I would love it if someone or many people would reply to this and be honest please!!</p>

<p>I bet you will get into at least one of the following schools...Oregon, Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon State. If you go to <a href="http://www.uoregon.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.uoregon.edu&lt;/a> and go to admissions they have a chart on who what itakes to get into the school. Apply early and good luck.
Colorado and Washington will be tougher, but you have a shot at each school with a better chance at Colorado.</p>

<p>Thank You, How early would you suggest to apply to any of those schools? I was thinking I would apply by December 2005. Is that early enough?</p>

<p>No, I would start in September. These schools are rolling so you would get your answer in about 6 weeks. Their applications are not diificult. I'm assuming money isn't an issue an you won't need aid. If you have time, I bet some of the applications are already available online. If not, they will be soon.</p>

<p>If applying for financial aid, when would it be good to apply for that? So if I have my application in by October 1 I should be fine right? Thank You for all of your help!</p>

<p>Financial aid will make it harder to get into the schools. Which state do you live in? </p>

<p>Also, I would take the SAT or ACT test 1 more time in Sept and October. Then if you are not getting acceptances, you still have time to apply elsewhere.</p>

<p>I'm not an expert on the timing of financial aid. </p>

<p>You will probably be fine in October, but why wait? I believe the financial aid stuff comes later. </p>

<p>Post financial aid questions on the financial aid board. </p>

<p>You will get more responses if you post on the What Are My Chances Board?</p>

<p>Financial aid is not a main concern. I live in Nevada. University of Arizona and Oregon are both top choices of mine. I think you're right about financial aid being later, but I didn't know it could hurt my chances of being in the school. That's true??</p>

<p>These schools want that out-of-state tuition. Off to dinner.</p>

<p>You might want to raise your GPA because the required GPA for getting into UO is 3.25.</p>

<p>No, they have a scaled required gpa where if you have high sat's it will make your required gpa lower</p>
