…..from a very competitive private school 8 APs in junior and senior year, 3.0-3.5-4.1-4.2(senior first half - though this wont go in for EA/ED)
ADHD diagnosis beginning of senior year, Aug SAT 1340. I will be retaking in Nov and feel confident will cross 1400.
The upward trajectory is clear and any damage was done freshman year - and many colleges will be forgiving of that. Are these weighted or unweighted gpa’s. Please confirm unweighted. What are you looking for in a college, and which, if any, do you have on the list right now?
You should talk to your counselor. They will know best where kids like you go.
But we can not recommend schools. There are hundreds for you but we don’t know your budget, the school size you want, where in the country, if you want city or rural, big sports, Greek life, what you want to study.
What’s your highest level math ? How many sciences and how many years of foreign language do you have ?
You have a chance at MANY schools so don’t worry.
its weighted. unweighted should be similar as i took AP classes only in Junior year so unweighted in junior year will be 3.9 instead of 4.1. i am looking at Ohio State, indiana kelley, Case western, babson, tulane, nyu
Unfortunately none are likely with OSU the best chance. You’ll likely get into IU but not Kelley.
Where do you live ? What’s your budget ? Any states off limits ? Do you have a plan for after graduation ?
Assuming you are going to major in business - NYU (Stern) would be the only one way out of reach. The others are all ok to apply to, but I would suggest 2 safer schools.
I think Ohio State would be in range, and maybe IU and Case as well. Babson and Tulane will need an ED for them to be in range. Overall, you are shooting a bit too high.
i am in a very competitive private school outside US,highest Math is AP. I have 3 languages and have grown up in 4 countries as my parents moved around internationally.
AP Calc AB
The highest math at your very competitive private high school is AP Calc AB?
So you are international ?
Your school is your best bet to speak with. And you have t given a budget or said what interests you in a school. There are hundreds you can get into.
I am US citizen applying from American overseas school.
no thats the highest i am taking not whats offered.
My kid just got into Pitt with a similar trajectory but lower GPA, but higher SAT. If the college works for you maybe worth an app.
Again how much can you afford - and what are you looking for in a school.
I don’t want to give you three hundred names.
You might have a pretty good chance at Case Western Reserve. But a similar school where you’d have an even better chance would be University of Rochester. Tulane accepts 60% of its early decision applicants. So, if you apply ED there, it could boost your chances.
i can afford full tuition, looking for business/entrepreneurship major
Many schools have. Where ?
Schools for you - Arizona, Arizona State, College of Charleston, E Carolina,U Houston, Iowa State, Miami Ohio, Oklahoma.
All safe and strong in the major.
Could you please do a complete chance me/match me thread answering all the questions on the template. What you have provided here is a snippet of that info.
I don’t know, but from what I’m reading on line, I think he has a chance. I’d give Kelley a shot.
He can give a shot. Last year you needed a 3.8 and 1370. This year it’s holistic - mainly because they let too many in.
That’s what I based my assessment on.
But for entrepreneurship, there are better schools with U Houston being a home run.
The student is looking at name, not major.
There’s very few studies but it’s high in US News and #1 in Princeton Review and if you look at their website, there’s definitely heft in the program. Charleston (where my daughter went) has a minor but an entreprenurial center and a lot happening with it.
