terrible gpa, pretty good SATs, odd situation chances

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>i'm from a nationally recognized public hs in NJ.</p>

<br>


<br>

2

<p>I don’t think you will get accepted to Syracuse, Northeastern or BU.</p>

3

<p>ok…</p>

<p>-bump-</p>

4

<p>The GPA is going to kill you, you have to remember that really they are basically only looking at 9th-11th grade in terms of grades. Northeaster, BU and Syracuse will be reaches, BU will be as well (a little bit less so), you have a decent shot at Drexel (match), sorry I can’t speak to TCNJ.</p>

5

<p>thats what i figured. thanks for the feedback</p>

6

<p>You have a decent shot at Syracuse. The sat is deff. Good enough for SU. The GPA might be a little problem but good luck!</p>

7

<p>thanks all. bumping for more opinions, really really really want to go to northeastern :[</p>

8

<p>

</p>

<p>i know this, but i still sent in first quarter grades, which were all A’s and two B+s (in my APs) so its still part of an upward trend</p>

9

<p>Boston University - Reach
Northeastern - Low Reach (Music isn’t a very competitive major there as far as admissions goes)
TCNJ - High Match
Syracuse - Match (I’m assuming music isn’t extremely competitive there)
Drexel - Low Match</p>

<p>Hopefully these aren’t the only colleges you’ve applied to or are going to apply to. You need some more matches and a safety.</p>

10

<p>i already got into rutgers a&s and business schools, which is where i’m gonna go if these don’t work out.</p>

11

<p>You got into Rutgers NB for both colleges? I’m trying to get in so bad since it’s my main school, but I feel like i’m going to get denied.</p>

12

<p>Syracuse - reach
Northeastern - match
Drexel - match
TCNJ - reach
Boston University - reach</p>

<p>What did you write your essays about? If you wrote them about how your grades improved over time and the lessons you learned from it, it may have improved your chances. Have you gotten in anywhere already? What’s your safety?</p>

<p>Also, could you please chance me back?

<p>

</p>

<p>yeah, i applied after their deadline and somehow still got in. are you from NJ?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>my main essay was how i learned to play music to deal with my sibling’s acting careers when i was younger, which occupied my parents 99% of the time and also led them to get divorced. i think i did a really good job explaining my passion for music. the short answer was about my job at a movie theater, what ive gained there, and what ive learned from the different people i work with.</p>

<p>already got into rutgers nb, that was my safety.</p>

14

<p>@Climactic I applied in October for EA and haven’t heard from them yet, which is leaving my flustered. And yeah i’m from NJ</p>

15

<p>they say january 31st is when they’ll let you know by</p>

16

<p>I wish you luck. I think you have a chance with your improving trend. My son’s gpa was similar to your and he did get into like schools with lower test scores than yours. He had an improving trend as well which we did highlight.</p>

17

<p>good to know thanks</p>

18

<p>terrible GPA and good SATs is an odd situation indeed</p>

19

<p>not what i meant but yeah i guess haha!</p>
