Providence College-Chance Me?

Hello everyone. This is my first post trying out the chance me discussions. I am a junior at East Greenwich High School in East Greenwich RI and I have a short list of places I really want to go. Please take a look and chance me!

Tests: Haven’t taken SATs or ACTs but did well on PSATs the past year. I will have a tutor and class to prepare for these tests.

GPA: Weighted-3.6
School doesn’t rank.

So based on course rigor and extra curricular strength, how do I look?

We’re applying to a lot of the same schools! :slight_smile:
I think you’ll get in with high SATs.

^Wrong.

Look at these statistics for last year’s admits, see page 9 for GPA and test scores. Right now your GPA is within the top 40% so that looks promising to me. Solid mid-range standardized test scores should be sufficient.

Good luck!

Thank you so much!

PC is a test optional institution so even if your test scores are not high you have a good chance of getting in! Just don’t send your test scores unless they’re high.
