chances ... any hope?

<p>Hello everyone, I hope somebody will be able to tell me my chances of getting into storrs UCONN. I know I post before but my other thread got deleted so help me out please. I going to be a Senior thrown into the college admission process very soon so I need all the help/advice i can get :)</p>

<p>I will be applying Early Action</p>

<p>Female, Asian, In-State, Public High School</p>

<p>GPA: My GPA is fairly low, but I go to a pretty good public high school with dozens of kids going to UCONN every year.
9 grade- 3.0
10 grade-- 3.0
11 grade-- 2.6 ( I know, I screwed up!)
12 grades- - Will definitely be higher because i am actually taking classes that i enjoy!</p>

<p>Honors/ AP Classes: Honors English II, Honors English III, Honors U.S History, AP U.S History, AP Comparative Politics, Honors Economics, AP Economics, Honors Civic … as you can see, my strengths are in English and history and i challenge myself in these areas. I have friends who have perfect A’s but taking regular classes and here i am working my butt off in advance classes!</p>

<p>SATI: Critical Reading 550, Math 470, Writing 590 I AM TAKING THEM AGAIN! SHOULD I BOTHER TO TRY TAKING THE ACT TOO?</p>

<p>SAT II’s: i haven’t taken any yet. SHOULD I?</p>

<p>AP’s: 3 AP U.S, and taking APCP and AP economics exam soon.</p>

<p>EC’s:
School newspaper: reporter, editor (10)
Student government: senator (11,12)</p>

<p>Volunteer:
Jr. Camp counselor (60 hours)
City wide events volunteer
Annual campus cleanup</p>

<p>Awards:
Honor Roll
Who’s who among high school students</p>

<p>Summer Activities:
This summer I went to the UCONN Mentor Connection Program in Storr for 3 weeks. I did very well in the program and am getting awarded 3 credits! =) </p>

<p>Work Experience:
I work a lot. 45+ hours a week for the past 4 years so that pretty much explains why i couldn’t do better in school. </p>

<p>Essay:
Pretty good.</p>

<p>Recommendation:
Pretty good.</p>

<p>Intended Major: Undecided but perhaps international relations or political science as you can see by the classes i take and the activities i participated in. </p>

<p>This wont probably help but i have live in UCONN for 3 weeks, been to the campus tour, and am even going to the open house in September. Is there anything more i can do? I am so afraid i wont get in =(</p>

<p>What other schools should i appy to? I am open to suggestions for other schools. Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>no chance…sorry…but you can go to a cc for a year or so and then transfer in.</p>

<p>its a big reach for you, but go ahead and apply anyways- the earlier you get your application in the better. other schools you might want to look at: u. hartford, one of the other state unis (central, southern, eastern), umass, uri</p>

<p>Depends on what school you are coming from I know people from my own high school who got in with lower grades and scores, but this was now 2 years ago. Try, you never know, or if not go to one of the state uni’s.</p>

<p>I would try applying. Don’t bother taking SAT II’s or ACT, UCONN doesn’t look at them.</p>
