my turn! my turn! chance meeee D:!

Applying to College
1

<p>i’m currently a senior D:!
oh gosh. im scared. puahaha .
this is how i view the level of difficulty… im not sure. please correct me if you disagree!

  1. barnard college
  2. university of virginia (out-of-state)
  3. george washington university
  4. trinity college
  5. university of delaware (in-state)
  6. liberty university.</p>

<p>and… i think i’ll apply to baylor and nyu and unc just for the heck of it if i have time…?</p>

<p>my infooo (i’m approximating based on my mid-11th grade stats and my final grades from last year):
+i’m full korean
+my unweighted gpa ('cause my school doesn’t weight) should be 92.something. no less than that. BLAHHHH. as much as i would like to make excuses for my gpa… i shall not X<em>X;;

  • by the end of this school year, i will have taken 7 APs (my school doesn’t have any honor classes or whatever)
  • my SAT scores suck (1730 D i do plan on taking them again in october. &i actually plan to be studying my butt off for once >. i hope to get at least 1900…
  • as for extra curriculars… bleh. soccer 1 year, i did lighting and sound for stage crew 1 (possibly 2 years this year), JCL (latin club) for two years, student council for 4 years, blue and gold club (helping mentally challenged students) for 4 years, TSA (made states and went to nationals) for 2 years, FCA, Junior Achievement (business club) vice president, NHS, various mission trips, and i’m also very involved at church (praise band, powerpoints and whatnot) and also within the youth group (president for a number of years now).
  • i think last time i checked… i was like… 51 out of 500 -</em>__<em>-;; … now it may have gone down a LOT because we’ve have a significant drop in class size… like 466? last time i checked… but then i heard from someone it was 400 now… o</em>0
    +my brother has graduated from UVA if that makes any difference…</p>

<p>the way i see it right now, i prolly only get into liberty (DEFFFFFF.) and ud (my two safety schools). and the others … not so much? if i get a ~1900 what do you guys think?</p>

<p>and would you suggest any other schools? (and yes, money is a factor… given that i get into them, uva, trinity, barnard, and ud would give me full needs based aid… gwu: ~95%, and liberty: 81% according to CB)
oh & i’m thinking about majoring in gov’t, polisci, int’l relations. that kinda stuff. (haven’t decided yet :/)</p>

<p>andandand i was going to apply EA for uva… is that a bad idea… o_0???</p>

<p>pleasepleasepleaseplease&thanks .</p>

lololl.</p>

<p>OK – so, </p>

<p>Grades – translates to 3.7-ish
Ranking – top 10%
SAT – currently 1730, hoping for 1900
ECs – look ok</p>

<p>As it stands, I think your assessment is probably correct. Pull the SATs up to 1900, maybe Trinity, perhaps GW also become ‘matches’ or near matches. </p>

<p>You’re a classic “high grade” “low test” person, which says nothing about you as a student. Some people just don’t test as well as their ability. Unfortunately, Barnard, UVa, GW, seem to accept students with both high grades and high SATs.</p>

<p>Still, there’s nothing wrong with applying to a couple of them, it only costs an application fee and a couple of hours of your time, and you never know. You may want to think of filling in with a few schools that admit many students with your profile, just in case. Your GC should be able to help you there.</p>

<p>Good luck!!</p>
