Hello, I am a senior preparing for college and wondering if anyone could help me to see if I will make it into certain colleges. My choices are:
UNC
Nc State
UVA
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
Cornell (I know I probably wouldn’t make it in here, but I want to try!)
To give you an idea, here are some facts on my profile:
SAT: 1890 (680 Math, 660 Writing, 550 Reading
ACT: 28 (32 Math, 29 Reading, 26 Science, 26 English) ( Superscored, my Science would be 28 and my composite would be 29.
GPA: 3.88 (3.59 UW)
Class rank: Top 5%
EC’s: Soccer for one year, Marching Band for two years, Jazz Band for one year, Pit Orchestra for two years, and Beta Club.
Awards: Best in Spanish 1, Best in Algebra 2, Best in Pre-Calculus, Most Oustanding Musician
Leadership: Captain in Marching Band.
Anything advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
You can chance yourself by going to the Common Data Set, Section C, (google it) for each school on your list and comparing your stats to those of admitted students.
With those test scores and the 3.59 UW, UMich Ann Arbor and Cornell are non-starters. The same is true of the others if you’re not in-state (and even then, they’re a long shot).
Ok, thanks! I’ll try that as well! I additionally want to see, however, if there is anyone that has applied to these schools as well. I have done research on school profiles, but I will definitely research it more!
I am from NC, so UNC and NC are in-state for me. There is also a trade-off specifically for VA and NC students to get in-state tuition, so I may be able to go there as well. I’m not as certain about the others, though. Cornell is because I certainly would like to try, even though my test scores are currently abysmal there.
I’m sorry @NotVerySmart, I put stuff on here incorrectly. My Weighted GPA is 4.59, while my Unweighted is 3.89. Sorry for putting it in wrong, I just want paying attention. However, I do know that my test scores are abysmal at best at UM-AA and Cornell. I plan on retaking to get them better, though, in addition to taking SAT Subject Tests next month.
