Wondering if I could get admitted.

Applying to College
1

<p>I am a junior, and I want to go to the University at Buffalo (yes, it is my first choice...). My only problem is that I slacked off (regrettably) my freshmen and sophomore years of high school. The combined GPA for those 2 horrible years (I had taken all honors classes, my school didn't offer AP classes until junior year) is probably about a 2.8--unweighted. However, this year my goal is a 4.0, at least a 3.8 or so, to at least bring it up as much as possible (with AP and honors...), so, hopefully, I will end junior year with a 3.2-3.4 unweighted. Then, on the SAT's I plan on getting at LEAST a 1700-1800, but I am aiming for a 2000, and at least a 27-28 on the ACT, but I am aiming for a 30. I can only hope that I get the scores I plan, and I will be studying for them of course (never studied much at all for anything, so I believe I can if I apply myself, probably above my goal if so...). I probably am worrying a bit too much, because UB isn't an extremely prestigious university or anything, but I cannot help myself. </p>

<p>So, after reading that excessively long paragraph, what do you think? Remember, I am out of state (Kentucky -___-), which will probably lower my chances even more, but oh well.</p>

<p>It’s good that you’re worried but also focused and dedicated. One thing to remember is that there’s a stark contrast between saying you’re going to do these things and actually doing them. There’s no sense in worrying about the consequences until the requirements have been fulfilled. </p>

<p>That being said, study hard and don’t lose sight of the overall goal. With a lot of hard work and dedication, hopefully you will be able to accomplish what you’ve set out to. Good luck!</p>

<p>Haha I’ll remember to. Those first two years were just awful for me. I had no motivation (deep depression) and so everything seemed pointless to me, and all that stupid stuff. I’m starting to finally get out of that state, and with a mind not clouded for once I am 99 percent positive I will do what I plan. But of course I am no* mathematician. LOL.</p>

<p>With your epiphany and new attitude, I’m sure you’ll be fine. Just relax, try to enjoy high school, and remember that whatever happens, happens. You just have to make the best out of it.</p>
