Syracuse chances or Pitt chances? im going to assume you mean Pitt for obvious reasons lol

But our numbers are pretty much identical, I have a slightly higher GPA, but you have taken more advanced classes than me.

Not only are our numbers identical, but so are our race, ec’s, award’s, and work experience count.

I would say that you need to get your gpa up to atleast a 3.3 or 3.4 , and i believe that it can be achieved by getting all A or a 95 + in all of you classes for the first marking period, but i am not totally sure…you may want to retake your ACTs to kinda offset your gpa…

your best bet though is to apply early, because you, and whoever is applying with you at that time, set the standards…you dont want to be applying in march/ april, or even february with a 3.4, where 17,000 are applying with 3.8’s and 3.9’s opposed to the 4 or 5 thousand that will be applying in september/october with 3.9’s

overall, I think that you’ll have a legit shot when you take look at everything, and pitt looks at everything, just make sure you rack up on your supplement activities…and another thing to keep in mind is to show them that you have interest in the school…call them a few times concerning your grades, show them that you really want to be accepted.
