Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Please, what are my chances of getting into these engineering colleges? I am a sophomore in high school.</p>

<p>Freshman GPA
Unweighted: 3.884
Weighted: 4.648</p>

<p>Sophomore GPA
Unweighted: 3.890
Weighted: 4.651</p>

<p>EC's
50+ hrs. of community service
Freshman Soccer (Captain/Best Defensive Player Award)<--idk if that award counts for anything
Nike community service club</p>

<p>PSAT Score
203 (which translates to a 2030 on the SAT)</p>

<p>Are these colleges reaches, or should I try for better schools? I really have no idea. Thanks!</p>

<p>Yankees suck. No chances for you.</p>

<p>Are your from california? I think you’re going to have to really bump up your Ec’s for a Cal admit. Keep reading the boards and you’ll get a better picture as to what the average student that gets accepted to Cal looks like.</p>

4

<p>Your GPA looks on track, and the PSAT does NOT mean you will get the translated score on the SAT. I got a 210 on the PSAT and I ended up with 1950 on the SAT.</p>

<p>True, junshik. I didn’t study for the PSAT at all before I took it, and I was also a sophomore. I’m definitely gonna study like a fiend for the SAT, so hopefully I can bump that score up, if not at least keep it at the same level…</p>

<p>If you bump up your ECs, I don’t think Berkeley will be a problem (if your essay is good). I only really know about Cal, sorry.</p>

<p>I disagree with waitingforcal…I don’t think Berkeley will not be a problem. For Berkley, you have to have really good ec’s, really good grades (which you do have), really good SAT score, and a great essay. It also depends if you’re a California resident or not, and what school your applying to.</p>

<p>You’re right, Loly, I read too quickly and thought that Yankee was captain of the soccer team SINCE Freshman year. </p>

<p>Yankee, are you still on the soccer team now?
Have you thought about getting a job or an internship? You still have time.</p>

9

<p>You are probably on pace for merit money at Purdue. You’ll definitely get in.</p>

<p>Thanks guys, great answers!</p>

<p>And no, waitingforcal, I had to take a year off from soccer for personal reasons, but hope I can make it back on next year!</p>

<p>Now I need to post a question about what are some good EC’s I can do…</p>
