<p>Is it true that most state colleges use your grades, class rank and test scores (SAT reasoning and subject tests) as the primary decision for admissions purposes?</p>
<p>I know that a few state colleges out there like University of Michigan or University of Virginia are more selective and require ECs, but what about the majority of state colleges?</p>
<p>I’m applying to UConn next year (I’m a junior this year). I have a 3.5 GPA unweighted with class rank in the top 10%, SAT of 2080. Also I’m instate and my mom also went to UConn (alumni connections). Will I get in?</p>
<p>All colleges, with the exception of the ones that people talk about on this website, use that as a primary source with which they will admit you.</p>
<p>Sorry, I didn’t know Harvard was a music college. Little did I know Yale rivals that of Julliard in music. Have you heard about the Eastman caliber music produced at UNC?</p>
<p>And they say foreigners don’t get sarcasm. Did you not just make a comment stating that all colleges but music colleges look at only grades.</p>
<p>I guess it is beyond you that almost every applicant to Harvard already has a wonderful set of grades… Are they just going to accept every single applicant from their massive pool?</p>
<p>go back to my original post and please tell me where I said the word “only”. I also never said that Harvard or Yale were music schools and that they accept every applicant. please stop being ■■■■■■■■ and embarrassing yourself.</p>
<p>I really don’t care if I embarrass myself in front of you. In terms of general english, yes, you did show a hint of uncertainty when you said “pretty sure”, however in terms of general understanding you nullified that when you added the clause, music colleges. </p>
<p>No one on a board wants to put up with reading with one operating word, and you clearly didn’t write with that context. The context with which you wrote clearly shows that you believed music colleges were the one, main exception. </p>
<p>There is a difference between:
“I am pretty sure music colleges are the only ones who care…” and
“I am pretty sure colleges, with exception of music, care…” </p>
<p>Whatever it is. </p>
<p>I don’t know if you have had a bad day or something, I originally pointed this out to you and your response was like that of an (uneducated/misinformed) person who felt the need to extend his unwanted, unwarranted, and displeasing sense of arrogance unto us all.</p>
<p>To answer the question… yes, all but some of the most selective state schools use academic factors to admit people in a predictable manner. Unless you are on the edge of admissibility, you can be pretty sure whether you’ll get in based on past results. Ask your guidance counselor for info on local schools. Websites like collegedata and mychances have graphs that can give you an idea about others.</p>
<p>okay I don’t know if its because your not exactly sophisticated with the English language or what but your argument is completely futile and irrelevant. Look at my original post; really look this time and tell me where I’m wrong. Your arguing with this “your uncertainty” bull****; that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. I’m going to reiterate the point that I simply answered his question factually. I have no idea why you are talking about harvard and yale’s music program and why you are trying to give me grammar lessons. Like I said stop being ■■■■■■■■ and read my original post.</p>
