Please chance me at these schools by either saying "in" or "rejected" ILL CHANCE BACK

<p>I'll try to keep all of my 'stats' as brief as possible.</p>

<p>Male
Arkansas
Public High School
GPA: 3.15 (3.25 weighted)
Top 18-22% of class
SAT: 2030 (taken twice)</p>

<p>I've only taken 3 AP's (my school offers a bunch), and I've taken honors math classes every year. I made a 4 on the Stat exam, a 2 on the Physics, and, lol, a 1 on the Computer Science.</p>

<p>Grade Trend: 3.40 - 2.80 - 3.60 - 3.40</p>

<p>So if you take out my sophomore year, like (a lot) of colleges take out the first year, my GPA wouldn't be so bad. </p>

<p>EC's: Member of 3 clubs, played high school baseball</p>

<p>Case Western Reserve
Depauw University
Furman University
Hendrix College
Illinois Wesleyan University
Lafayette College <--- I applied ED
Rhodes College
Sewanee (University of the South)
St. Olaf
Wake Forest</p>

<p>My top choice in order are Lafayette, Wake Forest, Rhodes College and St. Olaf. If you aren't familiar with any of the schools I listed, it's OK to leave it blank. And I WILL CHANCE BACK if you ask. </p>

<p>Thanks. And this will be my last chance thread (assuming, that is, I get a few responses).</p>

<p>Case Western Reserve- ???
Depauw University- in
Furman University in
Hendrix College in
Illinois Wesleyan University in
Lafayette College <--- I applied ED rejected
Rhodes College in
Sewanee (University of the South) in
St. Olaf ???
Wake Forest rejected</p>

<p>Wow, you really think I have better than a 50% chance at Furman and Rhodes? That is very comforting to hear.</p>

<p>Since you think I'll more likely than not get rejected by Lafayette and Wake Forest, and I agree, do you think I still have a 'decent' chance at both (over 20%)?</p>

<p>...Just to throw this out there, I currently have an 'F' on my high school transcript for Honors Trig. I haven't asked my teacher to change it to a 'C' yet (it's a complicated story both why I got an 'F' and why he will likely change it to a 'C').....so how much worse are much chances with an 'F'? It'll probably end up being a 'C', but having an 'F' on my transcript is a possibility.</p>

<p>Will the 'F' just flat out kill my chances at most of my schools?</p>

<p>if F remains, Case Western Reserve- reject
if it doesnt, idk,u got solid scores, gpa is too low =S</p>

<p>This is without the F:</p>

<p>Case Western Reserve--In
Depauw University
Furman University
Hendrix College
Illinois Wesleyan University--In
Lafayette College <--- I applied ED
Rhodes College
Sewanee (University of the South)
St. Olaf
Wake Forest</p>

<p>Sorry those are the only ones I know anything about. And if you get that F...well, let's just say you better get that pulled up to a C :)</p>

<p>.....<em>scared about F</em></p>

<p>bump</p>

<p>By the way, my GPA without the 'F' is about a 3.30 and my GPA with the 'F' is a 3.20.</p>

<p>So, even though a lot of you guys said 'in' at several of my schools without knowing I had an 'F', would my chances really be considerably lower with an 'F' despite the fact my GPA was hardly affected? And even if I send a letter/email explaining why I got the 'F' (I have a good explanation, which is also why my teacher will probably change it anyways)?</p>

<p>I don't think you have very good chances at Furman at all! I think Wake Forest is also a decent reach... but I'm not really familiar with the other schools but your GPA is really low- good luck! You can chane me back at <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/636336-chances.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/636336-chances.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Case Western Reserve- Never Heard Of
Depauw University- NHO
Furman University- NHO
Hendrix College- NHO
Illinois Wesleyan University- Rejected
Lafayette College- Rejected
Rhodes College- In
Sewanee (University of the South)- NOH
St. Olaf- In
Wake Forest- Rejected</p>

<p>I don't think you have very good chances at Furman at all!</p>

<hr>

<p>What do you define as 'very good' though, lol?</p>

<p>Here are the stats for Furman:</p>

<p>ACT Range: 25-30
Average HS GPA: 3.54
54% acceptance rate</p>

<p>So 25% of the their student body has an ACT lower than 25! I'm in the top 75% for test scores and probably in the bottom 25% for GPA. That should put me roughly in the middle 50% in terms of test scores/GPA, right? Plus, because my GPA is so bad, Furman will probably assume Furman is either my number 1 or number 2 choice.</p>

<p>I don't know though, I'm not very confident I'll get in.</p>

<p>how many people are in your grade? like what's your exact rank? just wondering with relation to your GPA</p>

<p>there's about 600 in my class</p>

<p>so you're like 108-132/600 which means your GPA is okay, but not too great
2030 is solid for all of your schools, though your exact M CR W scores would help me </p>

<p>Case Western Reserve and Wake Forest are the only school I'd really be afraid of for you (however I dunno all the schools on your list), and even there you have decent shots. GL~!</p>

<p>Yeah, you would have an average chance at Furman if you don't get a F, but with a F it's going to be really hard! Also I'm not sure about the precise numbers, but I know that Furman favors in-state applicants ( I live in SC) so you have to consider that, also even without the F I'd say your chances are around 30-40%. Of course your essays and recommendations count a lot too!</p>

<p>Rhodes - IN
Wake - Rejected
Lafayette - IN</p>

<p>sorry...those are the only ones I knew...well at least (i think) lafayette is in, and that's your top choice, so best of luck with that one!</p>

<p>chance me back please? <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/589292-university-north-carolina-wilmington.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/589292-university-north-carolina-wilmington.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Exact scores:</p>

<p>690M 650R 690W 10E</p>

<p>bumppppppppppp</p>

<p>OK, you know Rhodes and Sewanee get a lot of kids from Arkansas...so with the F that's tough situation...are you hoping to play baseball at college? If so reach out to those coaches.</p>

<p>Your scores are fine - how much is financial aid going to matter? Were you rejected ED to lafayette?</p>
