Please Chance An Average Student

<p>Hey, I'm currently a rising senior in Maryland going to school in Silver Spring and I am a Korean/Japanese male. Please chance me for: University of Maryland, College Park; Boston University, Syracuse, Northeastern. I will definitely not be able to pay full tuition also. If you can, please recommend me other schools that I should apply to during this summer. </p>

<p>GPA:</p>

<p>Unweighted: 3.4 (Up until Junior year I have taken 5 AP classes. Planning to take 3 more Senior year. Everything else is Honors.) 3.5s all year round during freshman & sophomore. 3.1 first semester of junior year. 3.71 second semester.</p>

<p>Weighted: 4.2</p>

<p>ECs: Debate Team, It's Academic, National Honors Society, Outdoor Track and Cross Country. Interned at a law firm during sophomore year and will be interning at a hospital during junior year's summer and also during senior year. A lot of community service at various places.</p>

<p>SAT: 1910. 590 CR/670 Math/650 Writing. Planning to retake in October.</p>

<p>Major(s):
Government and Politics (Probably)</p>

<p>Community Service:
250 Hours. Helped at many soup kitchens and helped many handicapped kids.</p>

<p>Reminder: If you have any other schools that you recommend for me with the stats I have, I would really appreciate it.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>University of Maryland,-no College Park; Boston University-yes, Syracuse,-maybe Northeastern-possibly</p>

<p>chance back?</p>

<p>Really, UMCP no? I am in-state and my stats seem pretty good for there.</p>

<p>you have a decent chance at all of them except maryland, retake SATs if you can…it can really make a difference for you</p>

<p>Really? Why do you guys say I only have a little chance to get into UMCP? </p>

<p>Everyone I know tells me that I’ll easily get in because I am an in-state student and my GPA/SAT is a match for UMCP.</p>

<p>I think you have a decent shot at every single one. Retake the SAT and practice especially your critical reading. Maybe also look into St. Mary’s</p>
