Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi!
I'm a caucasian female and a senior at a very prestigious public high school in NJ. I moved from NY to NJ before my freshman year and had really bad grades freshman and sophomore year because I was adjusting. I have very low stats, but I think that my essays, recommendations, and EC's make up for it. Please chance me for UMD, PSU, Syracuse, and UDel!!</p>

<p>Freshman GPA UW: 2.7
Sophomore GPA UW: 3.1
Junior GPA UW: 3.8</p>

<p>Only took one honors course for senior year but got all A's and 1 B+ (in Physics) for the first quarter.
Accumulative GPA UW: 3.2</p>

<p>SAT: 1690</p>

<p>RECOMMENDATIONS: I am very close with my guidance counselor and both of the teachers who wrote my letters.</p>

<p>EC: Lots of volunteer work and very busy schedule (volunteer at a horse stable for people with special needs, took a service trip to Costa Rica for 3 weeks, worked with Habitat for Humanity, member of Key Club, Babysitter, and part-time worker at a shoe store)</p>

<p>ESSAY: Wrote my essay on my experiences and responsibilities at a horse stable that provides therapy for children with special needs. Also factored in overcoming adversity by writing about how I overcame the struggles that accompanied moving.</p>

<p>Thank you so much!!!!!!</p>

<p>@SammyV6‌ do you think that my chances are really low for the other schools?</p>

4

<p>yes but I’m not an admissions counselor or an expert on the schools, I’m just a fellow applicant. Don’t get too discouraged by what you read on here, most colleges give your application a holistic review. Best of luck! </p>

<p>Thanks you too!</p>

<p>What major ? …</p>

<p>How can you chance someone without knowing the major…</p>

<p>@meriks sorry! this is all really new to me. I’m applying to arts and sciences</p>

<p>@collegegal2424 no worries, i was just saying that as general statement, most people put threads without the major.</p>

<p>I think it would be nice if you could get a higher score on your SAT. If you get that score up, Penn state is very doable.</p>
