Chance me blazer

<p>I submitted part 1 of the application a couple days ago, just wondering if I have a good chance or not…</p>

<p>White Dude from MA
Catholic, All boys, borderline fascist regime high school
GPA: 3.6 UW
SAT: 2140 (CR: 690, M: 700, W: 750)
SAT2: Bio (700), World History (670), Chem (640), US history (720)
Class Rank: School doesn’t have it</p>

<p>Classes:
Freshman year: basic freshman stuff
Sophomore year: AP Euro History (4)
Junior year: AP Chem (4), Eng Lang (5), and APUSH (4)
Senior year: AP Bio, Stats, BC Calc, Eng Lit, and Comp Sci</p>

<p>Also, I dropped spanish after sophomore year. People have told me this will have an adverse effect on college admissions, but I really ****ing hate spanish and it was my worst class.</p>

<p>ECs:
-4 years Cross Country (team captain), 4 years indoor track, 3 years outdoor track. Varsity and all that jazz.
-NHS
-Campus Ministry stuff (Catholic school thing, they do retreats, community service and the like)
-Had a job the last two summers at a US Army research lab working 40 hour weeks</p>

<p>So my GPA is kind of low, and my SAT2s suck. I’m planning on taking either the SAT or a couple SAT2s in November, any advice for which to take would be helpful. Oh, and I’m planning to major in Environmental Engineering.</p>

<p>Uhhh… Please?</p>

<p>Action,
Suggest you bring up those grades. You appear to be enthusiastic about what you accomplished at your summer job. </p>

<pre><code>SC expects you to take the most rigorous classes available. Were there other languages taught at your high school other than Spanish?

<p>I’m doing better this year, I’m shooting for all As but Calc is pretty hard so far. And my school also has french and chinese (which I really wish I took :O). And when I dropped spanish I replaced it with another science (physics) so they might see that as a harder schedule.</p>
