<p>Ok so im a little confused. On every college website with statistics, they have the “Middle 50%” for SAT ranges. Which means that 25% scored higher, and 25% scored lower. So really there is a shot of me getting in. I got a 520 on CR and Math. But my GPA is good (3.6 UW). So my question is, because of the lower 25%, is there a better chance of getting into the following schools then I think?
-Syracuse
-American
-UConn
-Loyola MD
-Fairfield
Drexel? </p>
<p>*** Im a Political Science/Sports Management major (depending on the school), good Rec, essays, EC, and Community Service. Please answer im stressing out here!!</p>
<p>In looking at the 50th percentile for any school it’s essential to understand that candidates with a hook are likely to be the ones with below median stats. Hooks include recruited athletes (about 17% of any class), legacies (10-20% typically), URMs (15-20% at most) and development candidates (2-5%).</p>
<p>It might be possible for you to get in, but we really can’t give you a more definitive answer than “maybe”, possibly followed up by “admits with low SAT scores tend to have something else about them that is really good”.</p>
<p>Instead of stressing out waiting for people on the Internet to give you a definitive answer that’s not coming, why not ease your anxiety by searching for a safety school that you like (or if you already have one, working on the application)? When I am stressed about my future being up in the air, pretty much the only stress relief that works is working on a solid backup plan for if the worst-case scenario happens.</p>
<p>There’s not much we can tell you expect to just stop worrying. It’s become impossible to predict acceptances, but take solace in the fact that you do have a chance.
I’m assuming you’re a senior since you mentioned that you had good essays and recs; try to relax until April
Good luck!</p>
