<p>Hi, I’m 15 years old and am currently a junior. I have a 3.5 gpa and took the ACT for practice/just to see how it’d go with no prep in December and got a 25 (( I am retaking it again and hope to get a 28-30 hopefully! I am Junior Class President, heavily involved in Student Council, Part of NHS-going to be an officer next year, actively involved in Key Club and voleenteer countless hours. I am also an active voleenteer in my church. I was selected for leadership in my schools conference. I have taken challenging classes my whole high school career and took 2 AP Classes this year and am taken 3 next year. I also job shadow my dentist. I want to be a dentist or an oral surgeon and am applying for UIC this June early admission. Do you think I can get in with my current stats? I am praying so because it is the only school that tuition is reasonable and yet offers a strong medical field. I have also been on varsity tennis for 3 years and varsity track for 3 years. I hope to appear well rounded. Thank you for reading this and taking the time to answer, I appreciate it very much as I come from a middle-class family and do not have many options for college due to my low gpa and only a couple schools offer pre-dental in Illinois and their tuition is well out of my range. Thanks once again!*</p>

<p>You have amazing EC’s, but I don’t think that they’re going to make up for your poor GPA…even if you have an amazing senior year, I still think that Boston College, Middlebury, Bowdoin, Brandeis, Penn State, and Bucknell are going to be reaches. I would talk to your guidance councler about your ambitions and goals for the admin process and see what they think. Also, I would go to that college’s Class of 2015 results thread on CC and look at the stats for them to get a better look at who you are competing against…but I’m no expert! Good luck, I know there is a right college out there for you!</p>

<p>NYU, BC, Bucknell, Brandeis, Bowdoin (all the B’s really), CMU, UMich, Wake Forest, Drexel, Texas… sheesh, you’re not going quietly are you? Every one of these schools is at least a mid reach. The rest on your list, you’ve got a better shot at, but it’s important to remember that a lot of these schools will look at your unweighted GPA-- which you haven’t mentioned, but it’s probably not that good; no offense, but your weighted is 3.2…</p>

<p>I honestly couldn’t tell you what your best chance is going to be, but I wish you luck! </p>
