Not the normal chances thread...

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Well, I live in CT, I am a junior and I'm wondering what schools I even have a shot at as of right now or ones that I could possibly get into. </p>

<p>I have played soccer for 3 years, and I run both indoor and outdoor track, starting last year, this will be my second year for both. </p>

<p>In the beginning of my high school career I was not planning on going to any sort of college so I naturally did not take school serious.</p>

<p>Freshman year I had a 2.9 UW, in the middle level courses.</p>

<p>Sophomore year, I started to consider college, and had a 3.425, taking middle-high level courses.</p>

<p>Now this year( junior) I am taking AP history and other honors/high level courses, and hope to continue the upward trend. Next year I plan on taking AP psychology and AP geography. </p>

<p>I have over 250 hours of community service. </p>

<p>I am not really active in any clubs, due to lack of time in sports, and no real interest in any of them to be honest. </p>

<p>Right now, I am in the 4th decile thanks to my crappy freshman year and me being a jackass.</p>

<p>These are a few colleges I am starting to look at, but I have a feeling that they are all reaches and that I shouldn't even bother even looking, let alone applying.</p>

<p>They are, Clark U., Uconn (instate), Providence College, Hartwick College, Quinnipiac U. I do not plan of playing sports on varsity level in College. </p>

<p>So what are my chances, be honest please. Thanks.</p>

<p>I am still awaiting my PSAT scores...</p>

<p>w/o SAT scores, we can't really say...do you have a rough estimate?</p>

<p>It is tough to say without SAT scores, but lets say you get around 1800+ (600+ across v,m,w), then I think that these are all match schools. If I remember correctly, Hartwick is an SAT optional school anyway.</p>

<p>Providence College is the only one, that I can think of, that is SAT opt.</p>

<p>I don't really have any estimates, I know that I am going to study my ass off for the SATs and try and get the best score I can possibly obtain. </p>

<p>Thanks you guys.</p>

<p>That's right, I forgot, Providence is SAT optional. I just checked and according to Fairtest, Hartwick is SAT optional too. Good luck!</p>

<p>So, you don't think that they are reaches for me, even though my combined GPA is a lot lower than all of the schools averages? </p>

<p>Clark seems like they overlook freshman year, but I am so worried that because of freshman year, and getting used to high school, that I will now be limited heavily to what colleges I will be accepted to.
Have a nice Thanks Giving and thanks again.</p>

<p>Also, I am not sure it will be a huge deal for the admissions process, but I am partially Hispanic. Forgot to mention I am a legacy at Hartwick.</p>
