<p>got rejected from UM today, sour taste. 2 more i should be hearing from pretty soon. as in less than 2 weeks.</p>
<p>but after the rejection im really inspired to apply to some rolling ad. schools, of these, what do u think my chances are, not considering how late im applying.</p>
<p>U of Pitt
Marshall U
West Virginia U
Alabama State U</p>
<p>my stats are:
3.0 UW/3.53 W
1530 out of 2400 SAT (Yep)
Football 3 years
YMCA Volunteer
9 Honors classes taken since 9th grade
4 years of Spanish when only 2 req.
yeah im a black kid
and all that good stuff.</p>
<p>Do i have a shot?
Particularly @ Marshall.....Im gettin real desperate over here.</p>
<p>wait a sec</p>
<p>from Marshall:</p>
<p>First-time, full-time freshmen pursuing a four-year baccalaureate degree who meet the General Requirements above will be admitted unconditionally.</p>
<p>does that mean if u apply, youre in?</p>
<p>You'll no doubt be accepted to some if not all of those. You have the equivalent of a 23 ACT, which is in the middle 50% for many. </p>
<p>Incredible, look at Alabama State's middle 50%
ACT Composite: 13 - 17 72%
A 17 composite? Whoa.....</p>
<p>U. of Pittsburg
ACT Composite: 24 - 29 20%
You're slightly below for U of Pittsburg..</p>
<p>West Virginia U.
ACT Composite: 20 - 26
You're in.</p>
<p>For Marshall (ACT Composite: 20 - 25 89%) you're in too.</p>
<p>You're an athlete and a minority, so I'd guess that you'll get into your remaining colleges. Good luck....</p>
<p>ha i just threw ASU out there because their application was free and for an extreme safety although im very interested in Marshall.</p>
<p>anyone have any info on Marshall?</p>
<p>and is it a residential campus?</p>
<p>Alabama State U. has got to be the worst school i've ever heard of in my life.</p>
<p>You should check out the website for marshall....</p>
<p>its very bland....</p>
<p>Marshall - Match
West Virginia U - Match
Pittsburgh - Big Reach
Alabama State - The Safety of all Safeties. Why in the heck would you want to go THERE (other than the fact that it's historically black)?</p>
<p>free app.</p>
<p>and extreme safety</p>
<p>but my state's HBCU is way better than ASU so its basically the free app.
(i saw the word "free", its hard to miss)
but ive been looking into Marshall and i met all their req. so i think i'll get in based on what they say on their site.</p>
<p>But this is all dependent on my decision from U of Central Florida...</p>
<p>You'll probably get into Central Florida, but it's certainly good to have backup schools.</p>
<p>And you know what? You do well your first couple of semesters, you can transfer to Miami, your dream school.</p>
<p>sorry for asking a stupid question, but UM as in University of Michigan? </p>
<p>lolz. =/</p>
<p>University of Miami in this instance.</p>
<p>Im more of a Gator but Miami's campus and dorms looked so nice like a fancy hotel. good location and everything.</p>
<p>you said what my counselor said.</p>
<p>but she also said UCF had a very strong applicant pool this year so...yikes</p>
