<p>Chance Post! My friend is looking at colleges but is having a lot of trouble where to apply because her gpa and SAT scores don’t match up. Please help! She doesn’t want to be stuck without a college to go to next fall!!!</p>

<p>GPA: 2.93 Class Rank: Top 50%
SAT: M: 600 CR: 610 W:660</p>

<p>Taken AP English and the rest all honors classes, so her weighted GPA is higher.</p>

<p>Fresh/Soph years she went through a lot and ended up emancipating herself from her alcoholic mother last year, which she wrote her essay on (FANTASTIC essay). and has a fantastic recc from her guidance counselor, who explained her GPA (upward trend)</p>

<p>Her Schools:</p>

<p>Holy Cross
Northeastern
UMass Amherst
Quinnipiac
Assumption
Stonehill
Suffolk
Hartwick
Emmanuel</p>

<p>she will not get into holy cross and likely not northeastern either. add some more state colleges to the list and i think she will get into at least some on the lsit. </p>

<p>haha, thanks, that song has been stuck in my head all day.</p>

<p>She should try applying to as many 100% demonstrated need colleges she can. She sounds like she has a unique story. Emphasize that on her essay. Try Mount Holyoke or Smith College</p>

<p>I’m sure her essay will help. Also, take jpr’s advice and have her apply to a bunch of state schools.</p>

<p>Her essay will definitely help. Northeastern is a mid-reach but that essay might push her in the admit pile :-). I think she is in at the rest.
