Regular Decision: U of Chicago, NYU, Brown?

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>What are my chances of getting in? :/</p>

<p>GPA: 3.76
SAT: 1930-1950
ACT: 28
Classes: All Honors (Freshman & Sophomore–We don’t have AP classes for these years) All AP (Junior)</p>

<p>Schools:
Brown
U of Chicago
NYU
Wash U.
Emory
Northwestern</p>

<p>Reason:
My freshmen year grades weren’t too great, because, I had just moved from NJ to AL (I had lived in NJ for almost all of my life); my mom had gotten remarried and I was totally opposed to moving. I was a little hateful, to say the least. Also, I go to a college prep school, technically all of our classes starting freshmen year are college-level. Switching from public school to my current school was really difficult. I realized I wasn’t as smart as I thought I was.</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>Given your SAT and ACT scores, all of these schools are reaches, with most being very high reaches</p>

<p>You really should add some safeties to that list. Matches also.</p>

4

<p>How many times have you taken ACT? Can you up that? Give a brief non whiny explanation on common app re transition. They’ll understand.</p>

<p>I’d disagree with murphy. Don’t try to make excuses for your poor grades. You have no legitimate excuse. Family death, illness, etc. are are legitimate. Being mad at mom/moving really isn’t.</p>
