Chances for a junior @ UMCP, Boston U, and others

<p>Hey guys, I’m a junior in HS, but I’m wondering if I’m on the right track for acceptance at some colleges, and if i would be accepted with the stats listed below.</p>

<p>Hispanic male from a public school in NY state.</p>

<p>GPA- 3.4 uw
PSAT: Got a 1650 on all 3 areas, but I felt like crap during the test and I will do a lot of preparation before the real SAT’s</p>

Junior year clases:

  • AP Humanities USH
  • AP Humanities English
  • IB TOK
    Senior year clases:

<p>Rec’s: will most likely be very good</p>

<p>Chances at?:
Michigan
UVa
UMD-CP
Boston U
Penn State
UNC-CH
American U
Boston College
Bucknell</p>

<p>assuming that your SAT score is 1650</p>

<p>Michigan- reach
UVA- far reach
UMCP- slight reach/reach
PSU- match
BU- slight reach
UNC-CH- reach
American- match/slight reach
BC- reach
Bucknell- slight reach/reach</p>

<p>get a higher SAT score than that 1650 PSAT and a lot of these will improve though</p>

<p>Ckmets, I appreciate the insight, but for the other people who respond to this topic, can you please chance me not assuming that my SAT is 1650–it will probably be somewhere around 1850-2050</p>

<p>Michigan- slight reach
UVA- reach
UMCP- slight reach/match
PSU- match
BU- slight reach
UNC-CH- slight reach
American- match
BC- match
Bucknell- slight reach</p>

<p>IMO BC is harder to get into than BU</p>

<p>you and i are very similar… 3.4 UW gpa, took 7 AP/IB classes, great ecs and went to foreign country to teach english… but my SAT was a 2130 and i wasnt hispanic… i was deferred from michigan… for michigan you really need a 3.7+uw umich gpa, and a 1400 on the m+v… umich is very numbers based</p>

<p>if can get sat up to 1300/1600, 1900/2400 at least…</p>

<p>Michigan - reach
UVA - slight reach
UMD-CP - match
Boston U - safe match
Penn State - match
UNC-CH - slight reach
American U - safety
Boston College - slight reach
Bucknell - slight reach</p>
