Got accepted to one school... Now what?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey all,</p>

<p>I got accepted to UVM, my safety school. However, I’m not the most academic individual, and I’m nervous about my other schools to which I applied. My other four schools are: SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Geneseo, Cornell University, and George Washington University. </p>

<p>How will I fare?</p>

<p>Some info:</p>

<p>SAT: 1800 (1810 superscore)
SAT II : Spanish - 700 | Math II - 670</p>

<p>GPA (unweighted): 3.4</p>

<p>GPA (weighted): 4.0</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
2 years of Red Cross Club (Club Officer 1 year)
4 years on a FIRST Robotics Team
Many, many hours of community service</p>

<p>My essays and supplemental material I believe are pretty good. I like to consider myself a good writer. </p>

<p>I go to Ithaca High School, and it’s pretty competitive. Nearly everyone applied regular to Cornell. Cornell accepts a lot of IHS kids, but still.</p>

<p>My number one school is obviously Cornell, but I value the SUNY schools a lot as well. Thanks for any information or predictions! Peace and much love to ya.</p>

<p>Focus on the positive – you’re into a great school, no matter what happens!!</p>

3

<p>I don’t think you have a shot at Cornell, 1800 is a bit too low.</p>

4

<p>Cornell and GWU are going to be very high reaches for you because of your GPA, SAT, and extracurriculars. You have decent chances at the SUNYs, though.</p>

<p>That’s what I thought… I’m terrible at standardized testing and, at this point, I cannot fix my scores. Thanks for the assessments folks.</p>

<p>“Now what?” What did you expect? You got into some less selective ones and now you need to wait to hear others – some of which may decline you. Has an unexpected turn of events occurred? It is February, right? To me,everything looks right on schedule…</p>

<p>If you’re happy with and can afford UVM then anything else is gravy.</p>
