I decided to post here to get some feedback on my situation. Some background: I originally applied to colleges in the 2007 cycle (I graduated in 2008)
I know that the college admissions process has radically changed since the year I applied, but I would appreciate it if you could offer me some input/insight on how my college admissions cycle would pan out (both if I applied this year and back then, in 2007)
I know the admissions profile of the admitted class only got more competitive each year since then so it would have been much easier to get admitted back then with these stats, but I’m curious
Essentially, I was extremely unhappy with how my college experience turned out.
I wish I had posted asking about my chances back in 2007, but my last SAT score wasn’t as good as I had hoped (hence my super score remained the same as listed) and my UW GPA was as listed as well.
Anyway, what I would appreciate is if members could chance me for both the application year of 2007 and for this year’s cycle.
Thank you
