The usual, can I get into these schools?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I have roughly a 3.3 unweighted GPA, and 5.3 weighted(my district doesn't cap). By the end of first quarter of senior year, I hope to have a 3.5. Total, I've taken 6 APs, plus I'm in IB.</p>

<p>In terms of standardized testing, I got a 1370 M&V, 2010 total. 29 on the ACT. I'm retaking both of these. Plus SAT IIs in November.
Extracurrics:
Newspaper 4 years
Volleyball 3 yrs.
A program where I was able to work in a lab, 5 years
Key club 4 years
President of an activist club in 10th grade
NHS, plus journalism and spanish honor societies
An organization that puts on plays for underprivileged children, and I help make blankets for the needy.</p>

<p>These are the schools I'm applying to: Chapel Hill, Tulane, Drexel, UVA, USF, UF, Pitt, PSU, UGA, Cornell, BU, UMass, and Vanderbilt.</p>

<p>I should mention that I'm an Asian girl and reside in Florida. Oh, and I'm top 5% in my class(promise), and I have 3 years of work experience, as a pharmacy tech, and working in a lab. I was a volunteer at NIH one summer.</p>

<p>So uh... what are my chances? Obviously, I won't get into some on that list, but what WILL I get into?</p>

<p>Dont Sweat this whole college thing. If you dont get in, theres always community college.</p>

3

<p>Wait, so does that mean you think I don't have a shot? Sorry haha, I'm paranoid.</p>

4

<p>Chapel Hill, Cornell, UVA are all reaches, I believe. You're probably in at Drexel.</p>

<p>You're in top 5% with a 3.3? Wow. I don't mean to be rude, but, is your high school insanely competitive or..?</p>

5

<p>No, I know it's very odd. Thing is, my district bases it's GPA on the ENTIRE county. And I have a huge county, meaning that with my weighted thanks to IB/AP courses is pretty much guaranteed to be top 5%. It sounds odd, but when get rank gets reported, I'll be up there.</p>

6

<p>That is a very strange way of doing things! I didn't mean to be rude or anything, I was just curious. The kids at my school with 3.3s are nowhere near the 5% mark.</p>

7

<p>Yeah, there's no way it would happen at my school;it IS fiercely competitive. I believe someone had an 8.something, since the county doesn't cap. But there's some intense grade inflation too.</p>

8

<p>Ah, well, with that sort of information, I would say with certainty you're in at Drexel. I'd be surprised if you weren't.</p>

9

<p>And I'm applying with those "choice" applications to Drexel and Tulane. Do you think I have chances anywhere else?</p>

10

<p>Yeah, you should be in at Tulane, as well. Since those choice applications are EA (I'm applying to Drexel for their human rights concentration), you've got a good shot.</p>

<p>I'm not familiar with Florida schools, myself, or Pitt or PSU. Sorry!</p>
