<p>I am a junior with a 2.9 GPA unweighted in almost all IB classes, have 650 on reading, 600 on math and 500 on writing sat scores.I have over 250 hours of community service and political activism and am a minority student .My grades were awful the first two years of high school but have been almost all A’s this year and I think the trend will happen again next year with lots of AP’s instead of IB’s.Do you think I can get into umass amherst, University of New Hampshire,University of Vermont ,George Washington University,George Mason University, Syracuse University and BU?</p>

<p>better chance ED, but not horrible RD depending on which school at SU you apply to and if you are applying for FA…</p>

<p>OK Rodney… you seem to be the all knowing… please tell me about the “applying for FA” thing. Does it matter? We are waiting on Bandier ED, very patiently. We did not apply for FA and we have a sibling already there… does either of those things help?</p>

<p>The 2.9 is going to hurt you at SU and GWU given that their average GPA is around a 3.6/3.7</p>

<p>waxbatt: last year, Bandier ED kids were the very last to be notified regardless of geographic location or decision…</p>

<p>we have a friend who was CONVINCED he was not getting in since everyone else from his HS had already heard by now…he’s at SU in the program as we speak and LOVES IT!!</p>

<p>and for the FA thing…Syracuse is not need-blind so it always matters…</p>

<p>Thanks, Rodney! Good to know. Makes the waiting a little easier.</p>
