<p>A place for us students who are caught in between the average… and freakishly smart!
You can make chance posts…
Post about teh colleges you applied to or accepted too…</p>
<p>But if you supercede these credentials please post else where!</p>
<p>I’ll start
Sat: 1830,
act: 2*
GPA 3.65ish</p>
<p>I applied to
George Washington
American
F&M
Gettysburg
Binghamton
Marist
TCNJ
Ramapo
Bryant
Fordham - deferred EA
Siena - accepted with presidenital scholarship and honors</p>
<p>I have basically the same academic credentials. The reach schools I applied to are Harvard, Cornell, and Boston College.
I also applied to UT Austin, A&M (about 50% of my HS goes to A&M)
I know my chances at ivy are verrry slim, but chance me anyways !
I have lived abroad as a diplomat several times.
I am completely bilingual in Spanish & English.
I am Hispanic and have had minority out reach programs at Harvard contact me several times.
I struggle with unmediated ADHD but have managed a 3.6 out of 4 gpa in my rigorous private high school (got it up from a 3.2 freshman year)
I took pre-ap courses through high school, and then 6 ap courses my junior year (out of 8 courses a day) and had all As. And I took 3 ap classes senior year and 1 honors. Our of 5 and am employed full time.
My essays reflect my struggles adapting to foreign cultures and unique perspective regarding diversity. (Very well written) They also speak to my problems with ADHD but the benefits of it as well.
My ECs are pretty decent:
4 years: Nursing home, varsity tennis, habitat for humanity, key club, youth organization through church, and volleyball (only 2 years)
Awards-
Homecoming queen, national society of high school scholars member, selected & participated in national youth leadership forum on law in DC & girls state.
I also founded a Spanish club at my school.
SAT:
700 reading
680 writing
480 math
…I know I am ridiculously bad at math…
Plan to retake in January & expect 510 in math and 700 in writing
Sat 2- lit: 650 Spanish:700
Ap- language: 4 Spanish: 5
I had two high level gov officials write personal additional recommendations for me speaking of my diplomatic qualities as it is what I plan to pursue vocationally.
I do not need financial aid and have also been in contact with the minority outreach programs from Harvard and Cornell.
I also applied to UT Austin and A&M regular decision.
Anyways, what do you estimate my chances at?
I’m applying to ole miss as a backup and I’m pretty sure Ill get in there…</p>

<p>^ This post is extremely arrogant. a 27 ACT is better than 87 percent of the nation. How is that below average? If ‘typical’ at your school is a 3.9+ UW, your school has some serious GPA inflation. I’m not sure on what basis you’re making that comment. You’re coming off as a jerk.</p>
<p>Catie 1995: there is definitely a chance for most of your schools but I am not familiar with the IVY schools… hence the above average students caught in the middle between the perfect people and average people. hahhaah please post in the other threads!</p>
<p>I find myself between the average and above average lol. My GPA is a 3.6, but my SAT is a 1530, and I have an average+ amount of EC’s and community services. I applied to Rider, Ramapo, Montclair, Monmouth, Seton Hall and Richard Stockton, the only one I’ve heard back from so far is Rider, accepted 
The other day, however, I realized that although I like all the schools I applied to, I don’t LOVE a specific one. So once again I find myself college surfing 
If anyone has any suggestions regarding good, small schools in the Northeast I would greatly appreciate it! :)</p>
<p>Great thread!

<p>LittleAnnie </p>
<p>What are your interests? Do you know what you want to major in? Do you want a school in a big city or small town? Are you on a budget or can you afford a private school? With your stats there are loads of great choices. More info would help me give you more choices.</p>
<p>Little Annie: my friends got accepted to many of those schools with te same numbers basically and got merit aid! (I’m from northern nj) and I say it’s definite for nearly all your schools as either a match or sligh reach!!!
Lilmelonred: I think stony is a good match for you! Bing might be harder because I think they focus a lot on numbers:p</p>
<p>Cornel will be a reach the others I don’t know too much about!</p>
<p>Are you sure stony is a match? omg i’m scared that I won’t even be accepted there honestly… i applied EOP/ HEOP to all of them if that even helps.</p>
<p>I agree, this is a great thread! </p>

SAT 1820 </p>
<p>Accepted to my dream school Georgia tech!!!</p>
<p>Also accepted to UAB honors and university of Georgia</p>
<p>Waiting on miami</p>
<p>SAT: 1800
GPA: 92 (my school does it out of 100 and not on a 4.0 scale but I’ve been told I have about a 3.75)
EC’s: Too many to count :)</p>
<p>Applied to too many schools, don’t really have a favorite:
SUNY Albany
SUNY Binghamton (reach)
SUNY Stony Brook
CUNY Queens
Sacred Heart
Fordham
Miami FL (reach)
Georgia Tech (reach)
South Florida, Tampa
St. Francis NY- accepted with 12,000$ (more than half)
Tampa-accepted with $11,000 (almost half)
St. John’s-accepted with $17,000, but applied for a separate scholarship for them and would also get a commuter grant
Adelphi-Accepted, scholarship TBA
UNLV-Accepted, scholarship TBA
Alabama-Accepted, scholarship TBA</p>
<p>If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t have applied to Georgia Tech (almost no chance and their application was brutal), and probably would’ve applied to more local private schools (I know the reason is cheesy but my school displays how much money people get in scholarships per year so if I applied to more local private schools like Hofstra, CW Post, Pace, etc. I would have more scholarship money and look smart. Plus I had the option to apply for free for them so it wouldn’t have costed me anything)</p>
<p>uhm. I’m just curious… when did you apply to st. johns? because i applied a long time ago and completed everything near the end of November and i still havent heard from them…^^</p>
<p>3.2 gpa, 2000 SAT. literally did not study 1 second for the SAT and didn’t put any effort into school into schoolwork until junior year. oh the regret.</p>
<p>applied to rutgers, syracuse, drexel, tcnj, bu, northeastern, already got into rutgers.</p>
<p>climatic: I’m sure if you mentioned that somewhere in your applications you have a good chance. You’re probably one of those naturally smart kids that knowledge just came to you, you just didn’t want to do it all the time hahaha that is okay though!</p>
<p>tcnj could go either way … they probably need to look at your transcript and see how hard your courses are. If they are that could balance out your gpa</p>
<p>Drexel- I think you can get in 100%</p>
<p>BU- Could be a reach</p>
<p>Northeastern - definitely a reach. My friends got deferred from there with similar stats and higher gpas</p>
<p>3.57 GPA(4.0)
1990 SAT(…too high?)</p>
<p>applying to A&M, UT(reach), and Uni of Houston(safety).
Academic admit,so I am accepted to a&m automatically, but I might not get into the engineering college because it fills up fast and I’m not exceptional. If you want to chance me, the threads are:

<p>My grade has a lot to do with my environment, my school is near a NASA, so smart kids have been influencing me for awhile(math was in 68-71 range in middle school). Learning environment > crippling insecurities and existential crises. I’m borderline automatic admit, and if I fall out of it, I’m screwed.</p>
<p>Happy with SAT, might retest just to be sure. Writing was awful, but engineering doesn’t even care about it,so I am good on 1430/1600 scale.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>i dont think saying i didnt put any effort into the SAT is such a good idea lol. and with the grades, i figure they will be able to tell by looking at my transcript</p>
<p>3.3 GPA
2000 SAT
8 APs
Good ECs
Good essays
Great recommendations</p>
<p>My GPA is really the only thing holding me back… About halfway through my sophomore year I just quit trying. My transcript looks REALLY bad. Really, really, REALLY bad.</p>
<p>Rejected at Emory ED.
Deferred at Emory@Oxford ED (my top choice).
Deferred at Tulane EA.
Accepted at GA State EA, and offered admission to honors college plus $1K scholarship (ontop of Hope, which is 87% of tuition).
Waiting to hear from UGA, Trinity, American, and Wake Forest.</p>
