What Are My Chances?

<p>I'm a white male from Allentown, Pennsylvania. I play soccer and basketball, and I'm in Spanish and Key Club.</p>

<p>GPA: 2.35
SAT: math; 600 cr; 520 writing; 500</p>

<p>The colleges I'm applying to:
Alabama University
Ohio University, alumni
Temple University, alumni
West Virginia University
Bloomsburg University
E. Stroudsburg University
Kentucky University
Indiana University</p>

<p>Clean and simple.</p>

<p>Please, take some time and chance me.</p>

<p>Is that a 2.35 out of a 4?</p>

<p>Yeah it is.</p>

<p>Your GPA is a killer, but your SAT is right on track.
I'm no professional, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.</p>

<p>Alabama: match/slight reach
Ohio: slight reach
Temple: slight reach
West Virginia: match
Bloomsburg: match
E. Stroudsburg: safety
Kentucky: reach
Indiana: reach</p>

<p>Do everything you can to bring that GPA up to at least a 3.0, especially if you're going to look for scholarships - a lot of them cut off at that line.</p>

<p>Good SATs cannot make up for a bad GPA, but good GPA can make up for bad SATs.</p>

<p>Are there are extenuating circumstances affecting your GPA?</p>

<p>A lack of time management with sports and school. Am I not going to get into any of these colleges?</p>

<p>I really don't know much about a lot of these schools but I'd say...</p>

<p>Alabama University- You know it's University of Alabama, right? Reach.
Ohio University, alumni- match
Temple University, alumni - match/slight reach
West Virginia University- match/slight reach
Bloomsburg University- match
E. Stroudsburg University - match
Kentucky University- really don't know
Indiana University- don't know</p>

<p>I think you'll be fine for the PA state schools, but I don't know about the other ones. You really should try and get that GPA up and then you'll be ok.</p>

<p>I'm a senior, though. How much could I really do? Besides my first marking period grades, Idk how much more I can do.</p>

<p>i think it looks like you have a pretty good list. you should be able to get into some of those. you're gpa is a bit low, but remember that colleges don't just look at your gpa. they look at your character, extracurriculars, awards, and other things. your sat scores are decent. you are about average for reading and math and slightly above average for math. i don't see any major red flags so you should be able to get into some of those. i'm not sure which ones in particular though. you could go on collegeboard.com and see how you stack up compared to the other students at the schools you're applying to. good luck! :)</p>

<p>btw, you should really work hard this year. if they see an improvement with your grades, that will def boost your chances.</p>

<p>Thank you so much everyone! May some more of you please chance me?</p>
