<p>Okay...first off I'm expecting to get picked apart pretty bad here...but here goes:</p>

<p>Applying to: (In title)</p>

<p>Intended Major: Computer Science</p>

<p>Class Ranking: Top 35%</p>

<p>GPA: 3.21 UW, 3.53 W (My GPA was murdered by constantly getting a mix of A's and B's in Honors and AP courses...)</p>

<p>SAT: 1870 (Taking it again in October)</p>

<p>ACT + Writing: 30 Composite, 9 Essay (Waiting on September scores)</p>

<p>AP: US History: 4 (Taking Physics, CS, and Gov this year, predicting 4's and 5's)</p>

<p>Ethnicity: White (European decent), English-only</p>

<p>Current courses:
AP Computer Science A
AP US Government & Politics
AP Physics B
Calculus (H)
German IV (H)
English (H)
PE/Gym</p>

<p>Recommendations:
I am well-liked by nearly all the teachers that have had me, so getting a letter of rec should be no problem.</p>

<p>EC's:
Key Club
Marching Unit
Concert Band
German Club
German Honor Society
National Honor Society
Stage Crew</p>

<p>So...gimmie the bad news...</p>

<p>You should be fine at Scranton, Rutgers, and UVM (I’m assuming that’s University of Vermont).</p>

<p>Lehigh and NYU are reaches. Your GPA/test scores are pretty low for those schools, but if you can get 2000+ on the SAT or 31 on the ACT you’d have an alright chance. Your GPA might be your downfall, though.</p>

<p>I’m assuming UCB is Berkeley? Yeah, realistically you don’t have much of a chance with those scores/GPA, but there’s nothing wrong with having one super reach school.</p>

<p>Thanks yankeesfanatic.</p>

<p>Yes, UVM = University of Vermont, UCB = University of California, Berkeley</p>

<p>Huh…maybe things aren’t so dire…:)</p>

<p>Hate to bump the thread, but how will my chances be at UDel, Pitt, and UMaryland be?</p>

<p>Also, the ACT was improved to a 32 composite.</p>
