Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello Everybody</p>

<p>I need major help from some of you guys. It's really urgent and I'm so stressed out. I'm really sorry for bugging you guys about it. So let's get to the point, I'm trying to apply for these colleges:</p>

<ol>
<li> Columbia University</li>
<li> M.I.T.</li>
<li> Carnegie Mellon</li>
<li> UPenn<br></li>
<li> NYU</li>
<li> Stanford University</li>
</ol>

<p>My GPA is really bad, it's a 2.1! I have reasons to those, my freshmen year I was blinded by love. I started working, so I could buy things for a girl, just wanted her to love me back. But instead she made me cut classes, take her to shopping and etc. End of the year, I scored horrible. Due to that outcome, my dad took me out of the country. He put me in a boarding high school, I took Physics, Chemistry, Pre-Calc there. Than my dad decided to bring me back to U.S.! I missed a term of school work here in US. </p>

<p>They kicked me out of the program I was in, again I was blinded by love from the same girl. Messed up in Sophomore year, till end of Junior year when I let her go. I got back in track. Currently I'm on track. Trying to score 90's and ups in my classes. </p>

<p>But I missed these courses in my high school year Chemistry & Physics. Supposedly I don't need to take those. But it's not on my transcript. So I don't know what colleges are going to say to that.</p>

<p>So these are what I accomplished so far:</p>

<ul>
<li>2230 on SAT</li>
<li>Extra-circular Activities (Park Volunteering, Volunteering at 2 Hospitals, and I started my own free tutoring center to teach kids from Pre-K to 8th grade).</li>
<li>I'm planning to take SAT Subject Test for U.S. History, Math 1 and Physics.</li>
<li>In February I'm going to volunteer at 2 museums. </li>
</ul>

<p>I'm also going to take Physics & Chemistry from here with 5 AP Classes, starting February. Honors</a> & AP Courses - Tour KCPS | Kaplan College Preparatory School</p>

<p>I'm wondering if that would help or no? Please help me out and give me suggestions on how to get into the top 3 colleges? I need some advice, I'm so stressed out. I wish I could go back in time and fix everything. But that's not possible...damnn</p>

<p>Please help me out! I'm sorry for the hassle. </p>

<p>Thank You</p>

<p>To be honest, I really don’t know what you could do to overcome such a low GPA and a lack of relevant courses. Sorry. It’s great that you’ve gotten back on track and I wish you the best of luck.</p>

<p>Seriously, many of the schools on your list accept less than 10% of the students who applied that are qualified. You are not qualified. Great that you want to go to these top schools. Who doesn’t? I hope your post was a joke on the chance postings.</p>

<p>■■■■■. Really.</p>

<p>“Blinded by love” is not a reason for any of that. Severe illness is a respectable reason. </p>

<p>Pick one or two of those schools to apply to as a reach. Then look at schools that you are likely to be admitted to and apply to a bunch of them. Please do not put “blinded by love” in your essay as an explanation for your GPA. If you want to mention it, mention how you were pulled out of school and sent away and then plucked out of that school and brought back. Still not much of a reason, but it sounds better than the former. Also, if you are a showing an upward trend in grades (doing better now than a year or two ago), mention that.</p>

<p>I’m not trolling, asking for suggestions. I wouldn’t write all of that just to ■■■■■. I have a life. If your gonna just write “■■■■■” to boost your posts. Please leave, ■■■■■.</p>

<p>Oh, I had a surgery twice. Missed 4 weeks of school.
Yeah those are my top 5, I have other low candidate colleges.
If anything I’ll transfer from there. Just wanted to hear your input.</p>

<p>Thank You!</p>

<p>Your chances are not very good. Also, could you give your SAT scores as individual component scores? The overall score is respectable, but not informative enough. Some schools weight the math and CR portions more heavily than the writing component.</p>

<p>You might have a better chance if you were to attend a public university for 3-4 semesters. This would give you the opportunity to prove that you can handle the workload. If you do so, try to keep your GPA as high as possible. Try to take the most rigorous courses that you can do well in. Instead of an elective in underwater basket weaving 1103, try College Chemistry (if your degree does not require it) or a Logic class.</p>

<p>I would also advise you to become heavily involved in clubs or organizations that appeal to you while on campus. Obviously, only become involved in as many as you can handle with your class schedule.</p>

<p>Remember, you will have to put in a LOT of effort in order to persuade admissions officers that you have become more disciplined, and are ready for their schools. You don’t have to give up on your preferred schools, but you may have to take a detour.</p>
