Accepted or Denied: Its your call

Hey everyone, I just wanted to know what my chances are and if you think I will be accepted or rejected this school. This would be almost the exact application the schools would get from me next year, as I am a junior right now in high school.

Not Weighted *out of 4.0 GPA

a) Freshman year 3.2
b) Sophomore year 3.4
c) Junior year 3.84
(Upward Trend GPA)

Total Cumulative GPA: 3.48

Sat Raw Score 1550 800 math 750 reading 760 writing

4 Varsity Letters freshman through senior year Swimming
4 Varsity Letters freshman through senior year Spring Track
2 Varsity Letters junior through senior year Soccer
Captain of the Swim team
Captain of the Spring Track team
Scholar Athlete Award for the 2007-2008 school year for perfect grades while being a varsity athlete
142 Hours voluntary community service helping out the poor disorganized farms in Israel
Recommendation from Swim Coach/ Math Teacher Junior Year Final Grade = A / employer over the past 3 years at Haworth Swim Club (I am a lifeguard full time in the summer)
Special Letter of Recommendation from current prime minister of Israel ( Did work in the Israeli Embassy in America with my father )
Student Senate (Club)
Latin Club
Superintendent’s Student Advisory Committee ( Club / Counsel to promote Random Drug Testing in high schools in New Jersey

English Honors Italian Honors Latin Honors History Honors classes

Do you think I have a chance to be accepted to this school, if you believe I can get accepted and that there is a high possibility, what do you I will get in regards to financial aid/scholarships (Parents combine to make less then 80,000 dollars a year)

i want to major in business and maybe get a mba later on

Not really. A 1550 on your Sat is extremely low. You'll need to bring it up to a 2100 to have a shot.

Good luck.

Also, your GPA is ridiculously low and you didn't mention any AP's.

Not a good sign. Maybe you should apply to community college... no offense
