Which of these schools will I possibly be granted admission?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am applying to UF, FSU, UCF, AuburnU, Pepperdine, UMiami, and StetsonU.</p>

<p>My student bio is:</p>

<p>I am a Florida resident. I have a 4.1 weighted GPA (only core classes), a 3.5 unweighted GPA (3.6 counting electives), a 1990 SAT and a 29 ACT. I am sports editor of my school newspaper, have 150 hours of community service, am in the National Honor Society, English Honor Society, Beta Club and co-founder of the Law Society. I am also a varsity football player. I have taken 5 AP classes and the rest were honors, and I am taking another 5 next year (senior year). </p>

<p>My mother and grandfather went to Auburn. </p>

<p>Any answers would be awesome!</p>

<p>don’t really know these schools – but just looked up their admissions stats for you – assessment based purely on your relative stats and admission percentages for the schools.</p>

<p>Auburn, FSU, UF, UCF – Your stats are well above average.(Safety or Near Safety)</p>

<p>Stetson – Target-near safety
Pepperdine, – Target
U of Miami – Target </p>

<p>To be honest, it wouldn’t surprise me if you got into each and every school on this list. (though they way things go these days, if you missed at one or two, I wouldn’t be shocked either).</p>

<p>Overall, I think you’re selling yourself short – you would have a good shot at more competitive schools than most of these.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the positive feedback! </p>

<p>You say I’m selling myself short, any recommendations for schools that might be more of a “reach”?</p>

4

<p>Auburn is very different from U Miami. What type of school are you looking for? Big, small, urban, suburban?</p>

<p>I’d be happy to make some recommendations with a little more information about what you’re looking for!</p>

<p>I’ve seen all of these schools and love them, that’s why I’m applying! :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I don’t have any specific qualifications for the school, I’d be happy in a big or a small school.</p>

6

<p>look at pitzer, colby, uc santa barbara, occidental, and university of richmond as some more match/low- mid reaches</p>

<p>U So. California, Pomona, UVa, Wake Forest, and Claremont McKenna as some higher reaches</p>

<p>Thanks imasophomore!</p>

<p>What do you think my chances are at the schools I listed?</p>

<p>UF, - match to high match
FSU, - safety/low match
UCF, - don’t know, safety is my guess
AuburnU, - don’t know
Pepperdine, - high match
UMiami, -high match, i went there as a freshman :slight_smile:
stetson- don’t know</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback!</p>

<p>To the rest of the CC community, what do you think?</p>

10

<p>pepperdine deffinitly I think</p>

11

<p>The two that I’m most concerned about are UF and UMiami. </p>

<p>Any more opinions about me chances at those schools?</p>

12

<p>If anyone was wondering my SAT with only reading and math is a 1270. I got a 720 on writing. I am also taking both the ACT and SAT again in the coming months. </p>

<p>Anyone else want to rate my chances?</p>

</p>

<p>Not to be rude, but all of these schools are exceptional reaches based on your stats. You’d need a 3.8UW and 2150+ to be semi-competitive for most all of these.</p>

14

<p>I know all of those schools are really far reaches, that’s why I’m not applying to them.</p>

<p>I’m shooting for schools that I’ll hopefully get into, but there is a chance that I won’t I suppose.</p>

15

<p>I can only advise on the 2 I know well, AU & UF. You’re totally in at AU and bring that ACT score up only 1 point and you have full tuition paid. I know UF really uses GPA to weed out applicants and yours is a little low for them, but since you’re in state and you clearly have taken a rigorous curriculum you still have a good chance. So I’d apply to both of those.</p>

<p>(but personally ROLL TIDE)

16

<p>You need to improve that SAT score, your chances of getting in will increase.</p>

17

<p>Are you serious about the full tuition paid with only one more point on the ACT? Ive only taken it once and I had no idea what I was going in to, so I should be able to bring it up at least 1 point. I only need to improve my math and reading, my English was a 35.</p>

<p>And the UF thing, how much will my chances increase by just be improving my ACT or SAT by a few points?</p>

18

<p>Pepperdine has a surprisingly low admit rate for it’s stats.</p>

<p>I was just inducted as president of the law society, will this raise my chances at all?</p>

<p>Which of these schools require recommendation letters? I know UF doesn’t and I know Pepperdine and UMiami do but I’m not sure about the others.</p>
