Hi, I’d like to know the chances I have at the schools I’ve applied to. They are as follows,

Early Action: University of Vermont, University of New Hampshire, College of Charleston, University of Denver

Regular: USC, UC-Boulder, BU

Possibles: Rollins, Syracuse, Denison (Legacy)

SAT: 1300 (V 670, M 630)
SAT II: Writing: 660, Math IC: 530, World History: 550
GPA: very low - C+, but will be sending out interim and mid-year grades in the B+ - A- range

I have very strong reccomandations and in my opinion a very well written and straight forward essay. The main focus of my college advisor’s evaluation is improvement, that I’ve perservered through difficulties and have achieved a realativly great deal. I also have a supplemental essay documenting slight (very!) learning disabilities (processing, memorization). I also attend one of the most competitive independent schools in the country as documneted by the WSJ.
