Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey guys! I was wondering if you guys could chance me for these schools I'm trying to get into. I know with the colleges I'm looking at my test scores aren't that great but I do have some extra curriculars and awards. I've inculded all my info down below. Thanks!</p>

<p>The colleges I'm interested in(looking to major in Business and Engineering):
Georgia Tech
Bucknell
Berkeley
University of Washington-Seattle
University of Michigan
University of Illinois
Purdue
University of Delaware</p>

<p>Test Scores
SAT – 1960 (I plan on taking this again in the fall)
CR: 630
Math: 620 (I plan on boosting this to at least 710+. Math is ususally one of my strongest points and I made a lot of careless mistakes on my last SAT)
Writing: 680</p>

<p>SAT II Subject Test
Chemistry - 670</p>

<p>GPA
Un-weighted - 3.83
Weighted – 4.4 estimated

<p>AP Scores right now:</p>

<p>AP Lang– 4</p>

1st in the state 2 years in a row for Website Design
1st in the state for PC servicing and Troubleshooting
3rd in the state for PC servicing and Troubleshooting
5th in the state for PC servicing and Troubleshooting
Honor Roll and etc (I don't think that stuff counts though)</p>

<p>EC’s:
Started my own design and development business where I have worked with some nationwide companies that are pretty big (I'm hoping this will help boost my chances as well). I have a portfolio now that is full of logos, designs, websites and apps that I have created for other companies
A ton of hours worth of volunteer work
NHS Memeber
Leadership position in BPA
Varsity Cross Country (might be captain this year)

<p>Georgia Tech- Waitlist
Bucknell-Accept/Waitlist, admissions are particularly rigorous for engineering & business school
Berkeley- (college?) Accept
University of Washington-Seattle- Waitlist
University of Michigan- Waitlist
University of Illinois- Accept
Purdue- Accept/ Waitlist, I’ve heard out of state applicants are tricky, great if you come from a state where they have few applicants. Check out ■■■■■■■■■■ “My Fit” to see how many students they have from your state. If there are few, you probably have a greater chance.
University of Delaware- Accept</p>

<p>All in all, your scores are pretty good, but when it comes to Business and Engineering, most school expect a lot from your math scores. These two majors are the hardest to predict because there are so many applicants applying to these individual schools. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Work on your SAT and SAT IIs</p>

<p>oops I meant the university of Berkeley sorry! @textocali</p>

<p>I’m looking through it now! @lacoste</p>

<p>Illinois, Delaware, Purdue are low matches to matches
UW is a match
Bucknell, GTech are high matches
Michigan and UCB are low to mid reaches because of SAT.
Look into Lehigh, its similar to Bucknell but a bit bigger. Also has a great Business and Engineering school.</p>

<p>Your test scores aren’t low. You are in the 90th percentile of all test takers.</p>

17

<p>@prodigee is it jsut my test scores holding me back?</p>

18

<p>@anniebeats thanks haha but I think the main problem is my math being so low for the majors I want to pursue</p>

19

<p>Just a question: Why aren’t you interested in design? It seems like that is where your strengths are.</p>

20

<p>@AnnieBeats I’ve actually heavily considered majoring in design and plan to at least have a minor in graphic design or something similar. But I’m a lot more interested in development such as coding websites than designing them. </p>
