<p>Please chance me for Barnard, NYU, BU. This is not because I’m nervous and flipping out and need someone to tell me the truth, I just need to know where I stand and what I can do to improve. Any colleges you think I should check out? Thank you :)</p>

<p>I forgot to mention, my unweighted GPA for the 1st semester of the 11th grade was 4.0 and the second semester was 3.7 (had some medical issues, so the drop)</p>

<p>Chance me?</p>

<p>I do not believe in chance threads … but I do want to ask why these particular 4 schools. At first glance it is an odd looking list … 2 huge schools and 2 very small schools … 3 very urban school and one in a remote small town … is there a theme of why these 4 schools?</p>

<p>Haha nope, just a few schools my cousin told me to check out!</p>
