Narrowing My List, What are my chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I've posted a few of these, but as I'm narrowing my choices I'm finding that about three or four of my original list are still there. My stats haven't changed much, but my list of schools has.</p>

<p>USC
UMich
UOregon
Oregon State
UAlabama
Clark University
Boise State
Elmhurst College
Loyola New Orleans</p>

<p>Senior</p>

<p>GPA 3.38UW, 3.51 W</p>

<p>SAT 1960 (720 M, 640 CR, 600 W)</p>

<p>ACT 35 (36 E, 34 R, 34 M, 35 S)</p>

<p>4th ranked High School in Oregon</p>

<p>ECs:</p>

<p>Mock trial 3 years</p>

<p>Model United Nations 2 years</p>

<p>Science fair 2 years </p>

<p>Started a dodgeball league junior year (currently has most participation (65/185 students in school, also includes a teacher team), well-organized and run by a four-person committee, working on branching out to other local high schools)</p>

<p>Martial arts since 6th grade (currently second degree black belt, instructor, around 10+ hours per week instructing and training, part of demonstration team that took 1st place at national tournament 2 years in a row, countless volunteer projects alongside black belt group)</p>

<p>Please chance me for some of these schools, and let me know which ones are actually worth applying to.</p>

<p>You have unmatched test scores. Your GPA is rather low. Even though you got 35 in ACT, you may have trouble going to UMich as they value GPA very much (avg 3.85). Your scores would give the impression that you have been trained to take ACT for a long time and left everything else behind. This would give the adcom some doubt.</p>

<p>It’s funny because I studied a little for the SAT, but really had no preparation for the ACT (other than the EXPLORE andPLAN tests in 9th and 10th grade). I do think that actually preparing for both tests could’ve brought me up to a 2200+ on the SAT and a 36 on the ACT</p>

<p>All the schools seem to be solid matches for you except umichigan,</p>

<p>Your choice of schools is a little bit strange though because you could probably get into ucsb/uci/ucsc or other schools that are a little worse than USC and umichigan but better than the other schools you’re applying to.</p>

<p>I won’t apply to any of the UC’s because I got one F (AP Calculus AB 2nd semester), and UCs won’t accept anyone with grades below a C-. I’m currently retaking calculus at the local community college</p>

<p>Maybe after you retake the class you could get better?</p>

<p>I think u of o would be a good fit based on your application</p>
