Are these grades good enough for University of Vermont?

Applying to College
1

<p>I have a 3.1 GPA (unweighted), 1850 SAT score, haven’t taken the ACT yet, and a couple extracurriculars and volunteer hours. I was in the honors program freshman year and I am going into two AP classes next year. (I graduate 2012)
I plan on majoring in Russian/Eastern European Studies and minor in Russian language and culture. I really want to get into UVM because it’s one of the few schools that offer Russian studies that I have a chance of getting into.
I’ve looked around on Princeton review and collegeboard and this site a bit, and I’ve seen people with lower GPA and lower SAT than I have and higher GPA and SAT have been accepted. Should I apply for early action? Is there anything else I should do to make my resume look more appealing to UVM? I plan on taking the US History, Global History, and Literature SAT subject tests. If I pass all my regents this year I will have an advanced regents diploma (not sure if they take that into account).
Also I am from New York.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>Your SAT score could be a bit better, but it’s within the average at least, according to what’s written on CollegeBoard. Pretty much right in the middle, actually. The rigor of your classes look okay, I guess, though there isn’t much you can do about them right now.</p>

<p>Right now, I guess that all you can do is do your best, continue with ECs, write a great application essay, get good recommendations, and demonstrate interest by requesting information and maybe even getting in contact with the admissions officers.</p>

<p>Early action would increase your chances of getting in, but not by a lot.</p>

<p>For a safety school with a strong Russian studies program, you might want to look at Wittenberg.</p>

<p>My friend got kicked out of his school first semester of senior year and still got into UVM. You’re fine.</p>

<p>My son has a 3.3 UW GPA and a 1950 SAT and was admitted to UVM … and got some merit money also … so I’d think you’re definatley in the hunt!</p>

<p>You’re FINE. Univ of Vermont accepts 71% of its applicants and you SAT score is above their requirements.</p>
