<p>BUMP!</p>

<p>“^ Teachers know I am smart, grades are improving as of now”</p>

<p>Colleges do not care about this, sorry.</p>

<p>You might get into Baylor and A&M, no guarantee though really.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input. What I meant by throwing in that phrase was going to refer to rec letters? Er… </p>

<p>Not even sure how legitimate this is, but the colleges I listed are “recruiting” me… if that makes any sense?</p>

<p>If you mean recruiting you to play a sport, you’re in.</p>

<p>I HIGHLY DOUBT that’s what you mean though because you don’t seem to even understand it. What do you mean by recruiting?</p>

<p>LOL, no sports (school is too poor to have sports…)</p>

<p>When I say recruiting, I mean they have been reaching out to me for their special/selective programs.</p>

<p>Edit: Crud! I forgot to put in my honor societies.</p>

<p>Schools reach out to tons of people with those things, doesn’t mean your chances are higher.</p>

<p>Like I said, UT Austin is out of reach, as are Vandy and Emory. You’re in the mid-50 ranges at Baylor and Texas A&M, but your GPA might screw you over.</p>

<p>GPA/class rank, along with test scores, are unfortunately well out of range to make you a sure bet at UT-Austin, Vandy, Emory and Rice. Baylor and A&M are matches, but the others unfotunately have much higher average GPA/SAT/ACT.</p>

<p>Really good EC’s and Volunteer work, but again those grades sort screwed you over.</p>
