Chances to get into a decent school?

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>I recently finished junior year and my grades were horrible. I got four C’s out of five academic classes. I got a 70 in Pre-Calc, and 77-78 in English, US-History, and Spanish. My weighted GPA was previously a 3.62, but went up to a 3.66. Unweighted will stay around a 3.2. </p>

<p>My composite ACT is 28, with a 33 in English and 31 in Math.</p>

<p>My transcript is also not very good. I don’t have much community service on it, but I am getting more hours this summer. I also have a job and am taking two Java courses this summer.</p>

<p>I am worried that colleges will see those C’s and won’t accept me. I realize that I messed up big junior year, but I just want to know what types of schools I could go to for a computer science degree.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Your ACT may be enough to make up for your grades junior year. Also, writing a really good essay with your application could definitely boost your chances (especially since you have such a high English score). With your ACT scores, I’d say you have a pretty good shot at getting into some good state/public schools. Rack up some volunteer hours this summer and try to relax a little bit. Colleges look at the whole picture not just one specific demographic.
Chance back please?

<p>I started this account in March, but recently started using the website. What does “chance back” mean?</p>

<p>Thanks for your reply, though.</p>

<p>Chance back means that the poster is asking you to assess his/her chances at whatever schools are listed. This is a pretty useless endeavor as no one other than admissions officers would be able to address this.</p>
