One more month...panicking

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Since I submitted my application, I am so anxious. Can you please predict the results in April?</p>

<p>Myself: Permanent Resident/Black/Male, Public High School.
Prospective Major: Math or Biology
GPA: 3.77/4.0 (9 Bs in junior yr, 4 Bs in senior yr)
*Moved to another school b/c my old school was lousy- bad city school w/o honors or APs, filled my schedule with AP courses though I never experienced taking one, difficult adjustment to everything new, 5 Bs in honor/AP courses in junior 1st semester, 4 Bs in 2nd semester, 4 Bs on mid-year report (all As in classes but didn't feel good when took finals, so I bombed on them, this is very frustrating to know that I'm very close by 1-2 pts to As), by the way, there are no pluses or minuses - so A is 94-100 and B is 86-93 </p>

<p>Rank: Top 30%
* When I transferred, I was automatically put in top 30 because my old school didn't offer any honors/APs courses in my freshman & sophomore year, while my new school gave my classmates an advantage of taking them, increasing their weighed GPA dramatically. So, I'm behind them.</p>

<p>SATI: Math 700 / Writing 720 / Reading 540
* I'm completely deaf (no hearing aids, cochlear implant, or anything to help me hear-I use ASL interpreter in school); thus, I can't receive vocabulary through verbal speech. This is common for other deaf students as well. So, if I'm not deaf, my reading score should be in the range with my other scores. </p>

<p>SATII: MathIIC 750 / US History 610 / Bio M 590</p>

<p>AP: 4s on 2 AP exams</p>

<p>hmmmmm...i think you will probably get in your match considering that you are deaf. </p>

<p>Do you need financial aid?</p>

3

<p>The cost of the tuition is not a concern.</p>

4

<p>Why isn't anybody answering? Bump. What are my chances at my reach schools?</p>

5

<p>Because you kept posting this thread again and again. Your stats are difficult to evaluate because of your special circumstances, and we're not admission officers. It's hard to predict your chances, but I'm sure you'll be fine. Good luck!</p>

6

<p>do you live in VA? if so, i think you've got a good shot at WM. out of state might prove to be a little more difficult, and same for UVA. your special circumstances are going to make your app. stand out which is always good, best of luck!</p>

<p>I am OOS for UVA and William & Mary. I'm from Mass.</p>

8

<p>Any more opinions?</p>

<p>bump please.</p>

<p>I think you are lying about most of things that you listed such as being deaf, math club, and national honor society.</p>
