I am expecting not to get in, but I have about an ounce of hope left lol. I applied Early Decision 2, which the admissions officer said would raise my acceptance rate from about 26% to about 60%. I want to go for accounting. Here are my stats:
GPA: 3.41
SAT ( superscored ): 1120
Activities: NHS, volunteer work ( for the NHS ), APs, College in High School
Prepscholar says I have a 1% of getting in with my stat. What do you think?
I got accepted into Pitt-Greensburg, Scranton, and Kutztown. Just waiting to hear back from Drexel and Lehigh. Lehigh is the only reach school I applied to.
My D had slightly higher grades (3.5 UW but lots of AP so maybe 3.7 W GPA) with 1160 SAT. She got into Drexel but not directly in her major and $13k merit. Drexel is very expensive ($70k per COA). You should get in but the financial side could be tough.
Lehigh is a reach for you but never hurts to try!! The good news is that you have options and hopefully options that make you happy!
It is a longshot. It looks like only 13% of applicants with your standardized tests have been accepted and it is likely that they had some kind of hook (ex. recruited athlete, legacy etc.). But it is good to apply to a reach school. All you can do now is wait and see. https://www1.lehigh.edu/admissions/undergrad/profile
Thank you so much! Congrats to your daughter getting into Drexel. Yes, I plan on either going to Drexel or Pitt-Greensburg. I haven’t looked into financial aid much - my dad used to work at UPenn which grants me and my brother free tuition to a university in state. The only problem I am finding with Pitt is that it is so far away and my parents are not 100% on that.
