What are my chances of getting into these schools

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'll just post my stats and schools i'm applying to. I would really like to get a second opinion regarding my eligibility at the schools.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.2UW, 3.9W
SAT: 1900
I have taken 7 AP's, and the rest of my classes were mostly honors
Extracurriculars: Debate club, Amnesty international, Latin club(VP), improv club, and I do stand-up outside of school. I(my team, and I) also won my state's "we the people" competition and came in 20th at nationals. I also participated in a tutoring program called "meals on wheels" for underprivileged children all four years. I have about 75 hours of community service, but no employment history. </p>

<p>Oh, I also have ADD... Don't know if that means anything to colleges, but it's worth mentioning. </p>

<p>Schools I'm applying to: UCONN, University of Illinois urbana-champaign, University of Maryland college park, UNC chapel hill(reach), Northeastern, Penn State, Ohio State, and the University of Washington.</p>

<p>All I know is that you are going to have. Difficult time getting Into college park, UNC-chapel hill, and penn. Try finding some safety and match schools!</p>

3

<p>Oh, I should have mentioned that. I am applying to several safety schools, I just didn’t bother posting them because I’m fairly certain I will be accepted to them.</p>

4

<p>Haha smart thinking! What are your safety’s?</p>

<p>A higher SAT or even replacement ACT might help you a fair bit. I don’t know many of the schools there, but being from the Northeast, I can say</p>

<p>UCONN: Match
UNC chapel hill(reach): Reach
Northeastern: Low Reach or Match
Penn State: Match</p>

<p>I feel you on the lowish GPAs, mine are slightly similar…see if the scores can go up, or if you can get a rec explaining your struggles with ADD, or even make that an essay topic to put light on it…Good luck!</p>

<p>chance back, maybe?

<p>APP state, and Rutgers. I know Rutgers has come into its own lately, and has developed a quite the reputation as an academic institution, but both of my parents went there so I have some legacy bonus points, and my aunt is on the board of admissions. So I do have a little clout there, and will probably get it.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response! Yea I agree with most of what you said, Northeastern is just really hard to gauge. I would guess it’s more of a reach because of how competitive its become in the past two years, but of friend of mine got in last year with roughly the same gpa and a lower sat score(I plan on taking the SAT again in october, hopefully get above a 2000). Oh, and no problem, I’ll chance you!</p>

<p>Sweet! Rutgers is definitely a great school, and I just applied to App state! Good Luck!</p>

<p>Bump!!!</p>

<p>Your GPA is way too low for most of the schools on the list.</p>

<p>They’re definitely lower than average, but most of these schools accept many students with my stats. Even Northeastern, which became incredibly selective in one year, admitted a friend of mine with a 3.85 weighted GPA, a 1860 SAT score, and less than exemplary extracurriculars. And this was last year, which was their most selective year by far. So I wouldn’t consider myself out of the running for any off these schools, especially considering that Northeastern is the second most selective on the list with an acceptance rate hovering above 30%.</p>

<p>Bump!!! I really need some input</p>
