<p>Are you sending both your SAT and ACT scores? Your ACT score is better; approximately a 1360-1390 old or 2040-2090 new.</p>

(It's the conversion chart the UC's use)</p>

<p>sending both</p>

<p>haven't seen that chart btw, i had been using an old one that said act of 30 = 1340. Your's is more updated I think so maybe things are looking better.</p>

<p>You definetely have a good chance, but I would still call Wake like a reachy match for you. If you have good essays that will carry a lot of weight. Nonetheless you are a good candidate, but I don't like to give like percentages or anything. Good luck :)</p>

<p>thanks for the comment, i appreciate the honesty and consideration, some people on this site seem awfully rude.</p>

<p>Eflo, my son had similar gpa, was 3/320, golf course job like yours, varsity soccer 4 years, and some school clubs, little community service. He was accepted in '05 (SAT total was mid 1300's). Think u have a good shot.</p>

Yeah, this site can really tank your self esteem. Lots of elitists/pretentious attitudes. Don't put too much stock into it in general--it is no representation of the real world. People told me my chances at getting into Wake were slim and here I am :)</p>

11

<p>thanks for the heads up</p>

12

<p>positive criticism is what people give you. take it in a positive way.</p>

13

<p>whatever you say, even though it doesnt make sense</p>

14

<p>i meant that when people in on CC are 'rude' on chances threads and criticize kids, its in a positive way. they dont mean to be rude.</p>

15

<p>if that's what you put in your app you will not get in
you didnt get 2nd place in cs comp and showed up for it's ac once this year and you called yourself senior leader?</p>

<p>and you should be kicked out of nhs your integrity is in question</p>

16

<p>what are u talking about? ^^^^</p>

<p>Im not being rude...Im confused as to what cs comp ur referring to.</p>

17

<p>man, this thread is messed up. im confused.</p>

<p>all i tried to say is that dont take the critisim people throw at you in a negative way. i hope thats clear.</p>
