Petrified :(

Applying to College
1

<p>My entire elementary/middle school/first two years of high school, I've been a horrible slacker. My Freshman year I pulled off a 2.7 GPA, then Sophomore I had something of a 2.4 unweighted. However that summer, I took an online course which I received a B- in (Geometry) and this year, I'm taking 2 AP courses and receiving Bs in one and As in the other, as well as an A/B average for the other classes. Freshman year I took all honors courses (Algebra 1, Biology, History, and English) while Sophomore Year I took Honors English and History only. Basically, with my success this year, I plan on increasing my grades to an A average (which should be very do-able) and next year taking 5 AP courses (AP Chemistry, AP psychology, AP government, AP Lang, and BC calculus) and plan on getting As in all of those (I won't settle for less) I got what translates into around a 2050 on the PSAT, and I'm taking SAT prep starting this week. Also I do a sport, and participate in my school's theatre program. I'm in multiple extracurricular activities. Basically, I'd really like to know what my chances are to get into Virginia Tech (my most realistic goal) and The University of Virginia. Please don't tell me to try 2 years of community college, cause I don't see that as an option :( </p>

<p>Thanks so much for your help, this has been bothering me a lot for a while now.</p>

<p>Edit - CRAP, posted it in the wrong forum >.< sorry!</p>

<p>Listen, there are plenty of private institutions that you can go to that aren’t community colleges. As for the two virginias: tech seems like a low reach if you can perform on the SATs, and UVA is a lot tougher.</p>

<p>Err sorry, I don’t mean to sound rude, but what do you mean by “low reach” ?</p>

<p>UVA is a huge reach at this point but Tech is possible with a stellar SAT. </p>

<p>Low reach means that it’s a reach, but not out of the question.</p>
