<p>I know my standardized test scores are mediocre compared to the average applicants to these universities (around the 20-40 percentile), but can my GPA make up for it? My LORs will be pretty nice, as I'm confident that the two teachers I got to write my letters (social studies and biology) wrote really nice letters. I also have some nice hooks with a whole LOT of ECs and community service. So now that you know all this about me, what do you think? </p>

<p>I beg you- please look beyond my standardized test scores when chancing me </p>

<p>Thank you for your time I greatly appreciate it- WILL CHANCE BACK!</p>

NYU Stern: Match
WUSTL: High match

<p>You should get into one of them at least.</p>

14

<p>well I actually did get into Michigan, really wondering where else I can get into</p>

15

<p>I think you have decent chances at Emory, BC, Tufts, Michigan, Northwestern, and Vandy. Rice, USC Marshall, and NYU Stern probably aren’t as likely because the schools/programs are more competitive, but I’d be pretty optimistic! This whole process is pretty random but you are definitely a good candidate.</p>

<p>Chance me back? :slight_smile: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1430767-i-swore-i-wouldnt-give-ask-chances-but-here-i-am-pton-rice-emory.html#post15191854[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1430767-i-swore-i-wouldnt-give-ask-chances-but-here-i-am-pton-rice-emory.html#post15191854&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

16

<p>thanks for the chance!</p>

17

<p>bump…</p>

18

<p>i think you have a good chance at most of them EXCEPT northwestern, you should also add one or two safeties because almost all your choices are a match. I think your ECs can easily make up for the kinda low test scores and they wont hurt you that much.
chance back please?</p>
