ONE MAN (or 16 year old kid, rather...). ONE SCHOOL. CHANCE ME.

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Virginia Tech is number one on my list at the moment... might be a bit of a reach... but... hey... reaches may be attainable...</p>

<ul>
<li>From North Jersey</li>
<li>Unweighted GPA: 3.2 </li>
<li>SAT: 690 CR, 610 M, 710 W (1300/2010) [will take again in September, along with the ACT if it'll help my chances]</li>
<li>School doesn't rank...</li>
<li>Class Council (2 years) [Representative]</li>
<li>Student Council (2 years) [President]</li>
<li>ERASE Club (End Racism and Sexism Everywhere) [Vice President]</li>
</ul>

<p>Some lesser things...
- Writer for the school newspaper (2 years)
- Key Club Member (3 years)
- Basketball (2 years)
- Football (1 year)
- URM (African-American)
- Volunteer at Church </p>

<p>VT Majors of Interest: Industrial Engineering, Marketing & Operations Management.</p>

<p>I recognize my shortcomings, especially in the GPA aspect... and especially because I haven't taken many honors courses/APs (school restrictions on who can & when people can take APs are ridiculous. That's another topic on its own though...). That's why I'm definitely willing to apply ED if that will increase my chances any.</p>

<p>Chance me regular decision and then chance me on if I were to apply early.</p>

<p>Any questions necessary to get a better idea on me as a student/person, feel free to ask</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I would say it’s a match/low-reach.
The GPA may hold you back but your SAT scores and EC are pretty good! :)</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

3

<p>High match/low reach.
Good luck!</p>

4

<p>high match, get your math sat up and it will be great.</p>

5

<p>High match/ very low reach. (chance back?)</p>

6

<p>Match good luck =]</p>

<p>Would my chances be better if I didn’t apply to the engineering program and instead opted for marketing?</p>
