-work at the local YMCA since last summer</p>

<p>-did a summer program at boston u/ got two recommendation letters</p>

<p>probably more that i forgot to mention...but you guys get the idea</p>

<p>my academics aren't as strong as i want them to be and I've realized that, same with my test scores...i have a clinical anxiety problem that doesn't translate well on my academics or test taking. although i do try my hardest i wish i could do better. i am very capable of holding a lot of responsibilities and i don't think my test scores reflect me as a person/ student and my grades too but coming from a competitive high school i think I'm doing decently. </p>

<p>i hope to get amazing recommendations, have very good relationships with teachers and members of my community</p>

<p>my hope is to be on a pre-med track
and some related science major possibly</p>

<p>hoping to do interviews at all the schools that offer it</p>

<p>what are my chances at these school? (listing a lot of them, so any input would be very appreciated/ some are test optional that i know would be nice for me) </p>

<p>Elon University
Franklin and Marshall College(test optional/ visited twice/ interview set up/ staying in a class)
Union College(visited/ test optional/ legacy)
Muhlenberg College(test optional)
Boston University(summer program/ contact with professors)
University of Connecticut

Fordham University

<p>I believe you have a chance at some of these schools, and maybe all, but you never know. Try to improve you gpa senior year. Your ECs are really good so colleges will know that you are a well rounded student. Definitely improve your SAT. Try to make it over 2100+ that can really impress colleges. ^^</p>

4

<p>yeah I’m trying really hard to get my gpa up! and definitely get my sats up to at least an 1800 if possible…</p>

<p>bummmmp… anyone??</p>

5

<p>bummp…</p>

<p>anyone? please?</p>

6

<p>Do you need financial aid? Do your parents have a budget in mind?</p>

7

<p>my college can be basically paid for, but will still apply for financial aid and see what i get…anything would be nice</p>

8

<p>…??anyone else</p>

9

<p>no one???..</p>

10

<p>I would think about trying the ACT. Your SAT seems pretty low with a 3.3 for any of these schools to be a safety</p>

11

<p>well I’m looking more at the test optional root, and i retook my SAT again for the third time so I’m hoping for at least an 1800 although i doubt i’l apply to schools requiring sats maybe 1 or 2</p>

<p>any chances at test optional ones i listed?</p>

12

<p>wow no one still??</p>

13

<p>Good luck!</p>

14

<p>thanks? is there anyone actually helpful on here??</p>

15

<p>Lots of luck!</p>

<p>bumppppppp</p>

<p>Try looking at some of these schools. They have different admission criteria- some are score optional.</p>

<p>[Colleges</a> That Change Lives | Changing Lives. One Student at a Time.](<a href=“http://www.ctcl.org/]Colleges”>http://www.ctcl.org/)</p>

<p>Try to find the best college that is a match for you. One where you will be successful and that offers you the course of study you would want.</p>

<p>Lots of Luck though-- For real.</p>

<p>Well sorry to say, you shouldn’t have slacked off, its coming back to bite you. You had too much fun in high school, and ruined the rest of your life. Was 3 years worth destroying the rest of your life? Take the ACT, boost your GPA, accentuate your ECs. Good luck.</p>
