Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey everyone! Thanks for looking.</p>

<p>Okay, here's the scoop. I'm not stupid, but I was lazy in my freshmen/sophmore year, blah blah blah you've heard this story a billion times. I've since picked my grades up , but it was sort of too late into the game to salvage. The GPA suckishness also came as a result of my serious ineptitude in math. </p>

<p>My GPA through the first three years:3.03,
My average this year is an A, but that was brought down by a novel writing (ya, seriously) class that required WAY too much work than I could possibly do with my schedule that came out with an 80.
This puts me 79/184 in my really really competitive grade (They do our weighted out of 8 and numbers 10-32 were determined by a difference of like .03 points)</p>

<p>All of my classes were honors (which may have been a mistake in the math classes I took, but nyeh), and I took two AP's this year (our school doesn't offer that many and for any AP's that aren't sciences, you have to wait until you are a senior), both of which I have A's in.</p>

<p>SATs: 610 M 720 CR 700 W
ACT: 28</p>

<p>I should also point out that I’ve been accepted to Ithaca College for TV-Radio, Quinnipiac for Media Production, Endicott for Communications, and UMass for Communications, as well. I applied to the Visual and Media Arts program at Emerson, the Communications program at Northeastern, but I applied to Political Science at BU because I felt my extra curriculars lent me more towards politics.</p>

<p>(I forgot to point out that I was elected to serve as my town’s delegate to Massachusetts Student Government Day at the State House in Boston, and I appointed to be a James Otis Law Scholar.)</p>

<p>I think you can get in to Northeastern.</p>

4

<p>emerson and northeastern i think u have a good shot at</p>

<p>bu i think ur chances are good but not as good as they could be</p>

5

<p>I think you have a great shot at all of them.
If you could get those grades up, you should look at more selective schools.
Good luck!</p>

<p>NE and Emerson yes, BU NO.</p>

<p>lol 3.03 into NU? seriously?
don’t give him false hope
average GPA of incoming freshman is 3.5
but you have good SAT’s and EC’s so you have a shot
and you have a good shot at BU too
NU and BU have pretty similar acceptance rates…some people like the posters above me don’t know much about Boston schools</p>
