starting junior year

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>This fall I will be beginning my junior year. I am beginning a broad search for colleges I might be interested in. Let me tell you about myself.</p>

<p>Born and raised in CT</p>

<p>I go to an all boys boarding school in New England</p>

<p>3.4 GPA</p>

<p>Play hockey and lacrosse</p>

<p>Dorm monitor</p>

<p>very weak EC's, member of fly fishing and ultimate frisbee clubs</p>

<p>no SAT's or ACT's </p>

<p>80th percentile PSAT's.</p>

<p>POSSIBLE COLLEGES:</p>

<p>Want to be in MA, VT, NH, ME, PA, or upstate New York</p>

<p>Do not want to be in the city </p>

<p>COLLEGES I HAD IN MIND:</p>

<p>St. Lawrence</p>

<p>Bowdoin </p>

<p>Colby</p>

<p>Umass Amherst</p>

<p>Penn State (College Park) </p>

<p>UNH</p>

<p>UVM </p>

<p>Syracuse</p>

<p>Gettysburg</p>

<p>Bucknell</p>

<p>Skidmore</p>

<p>Williams (stretch) </p>

<p>Do I have a shot at any of these on my current path? Or do I need to majorly step it up junior year?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I would chance you, but I just don’t think you have much useful information…I think you should get involved with more EC activities and try to raise your GPA a little more. Also, you should think about taking the SAT soon. I think, from the information you’ve given, you could probably get into all of the schools you mentioned, with the exception of Williams.</p>

<p>Have you taken any AP classes? What is the specific breakdown of your PSAT score?</p>
