| Dear tmc09 : Chances for a presidential scholarship? Zero. As a matter of fact, you are probably no better than 60/40 to actually be accepted during the regular decision pool. Your SATs are at the midpoint and your ACTs are well below the midpoint. Many students with a 29 ACT have reported rejections with a 30 being the real baseline on that exam.
Four AP courses (not named) is below many of the stronger applications that show six to twelve AP exams during their high school years. (Are your AP exams in the sciences/calculus sequence, english/social studies, social sciences, or languages?)
For voluneerism, you might want to expand on the Red Cross club and what you have done to help the community.
It is unclear whether you are in the top 10% of your class which was a very big measuring stick on this year's acceptance thread here on college confidential. |
