Hi, I’ve been searching for several colleges and scholarships the past summer, and I would like to know my chances of getting in to the following schools. I’m open to suggestions of what schools I have a good likelihood of getting accepted but here’s the kicker: I would have to be able to get a full ride or at least have 85%+ of my financial need met.
Here are some off my list:
Whittier College
UC Riverside, Davis, Irvine, Santa Barbara, LA
Occidental College
Boston U
UNC Chapel Hill, Wilmington
CUNY Baruch, Hunter
Wake Forest
University of Colorado, Boulder
University of Washington
North Carolina State University
Bentley University
Here are some I have on my list but haven’t looked at yet:
CSU Channel Islands
CSU Long Beach
CSU Los Angeles
Pitzer College
Santa Barbara City College
Santa Clara University
University of Redlands
Soka University of America
Coker College
Furman College
Davidson College
Keene State College
Fort Lewis College
Alfred University
UNH
St Lawrence U
Clark U
I’d prefer to go to school anywhere but Florida. I’m a Florida resident but I don’t like Florida at all so I’d prefer to go out-of-state.
Here’s some info about me:
GPA UW: 3.0
GPA W: 4.0
The reason why my GPA is so low is because of my sophomore year. My GPA severely took a hit due to depression and laziness, and ever since I came around I’ve been trying to get it higher as much as I could. However, I did become a lot more responsible and I have learned many lessons from it. Sophomore year I failed Chemistry 1 Honors and had to retake it again my Junior year. I aced it my Junior year and now I’m in AP Chem my Senior year. I feel pretty confident in myself this year, and my chemistry teacher who is probably the best teacher at my school is very proud of how I’ve come. I pretty much turned around from a 1 F, 2 D’s, 2 C’s, 1 B year into a 5 A’s and 2 B’s year. Anyways moving on:
SAT: 1760 (CR: 610 M: 590 W: 560) I feel confident in getting at least a 1850 when I take it in October.
AP’s:
Human Geo (failed Soph. year, counselor discarded score)
AP Lang: 2
AP Enviro: 4
And right now I’m taking AP Chem, AP Stats, AP Gov, and AP Macro, and planning on getting 5’s in all of them.
I’ve also taken 6 Dual Enrollment Classes, 4 of which I am taking right now and will be getting A’s in them. Here are the one I already took:
DE American Civilization: A
DE World Civilization: B
I’m currently taking:
DE Intro to Microcomputers
DE Introduction to Computer Programming
DE American Literature 1
DE Survey of American Literature 2
EC’s:
Key Club from 11-12th grade
FBLA 12th grade
Vis a Vis Fashion Show for 2 years, (200 hrs. community service)
Humane Society Volunteer (planning on 50 hours)
Oleta River State Park Volunteer (planning on 50 hours)
Beach Cleanups (25 hours)
Teacher Aid after school (50 hours)
Recommendations: My chemistry teacher and my counselor are both very surprised at how I’ve turned myself around, so I’m pretty confident they will write me a nice recommendation letter.
Etc: Hispanic, First gen college. I hope I’m not missing anything else
Sorry for the really long post, but I need as much help as possible. Any help, input, suggestions are greatly appreciated. If there’s any more info I should add, please let me know. Thank you in advance.
