Do you think my colleges are realistic to me???

Question

I am applying to U-penn, university of michigan, villanova university, penn state-main campus, university of pittsburgh
MIT, and princeton university. These school are highly selective. What I have is 1320 on the SAT:math 620, reading:350, writing 350. GPA 83=2.9 I worked for western union. I don't know any professors, SO according to my personal detail, do you think I will get in???????

Answer 1

Wow, some people can be rude. Any who, I agree that maybe MIT and Princeton are a bit too out of your reach, but I really need to know some other statistics. Have you overcome any extremely difficult obstacles? Do you have any community service hours under you belt? Do you know what you want to major in, and what you'd like to become?
Too often, people apply to difficult colleges because they think those colleges are better. It really just depends on you. Check out the schools and e-mail an admissions counselor from your other schools listed to see what they'd like from an applicant. Go to http://www.princetonreview.com and the College Board Website to check out their stats.

Good luck!!

I think U-Penn and Princeton might be a little unrealistic but as for U of Michigan, Villanova, and Penn State, I think you have a good chance of being accepted. Getting accepted also depends on your commutity service and extracurriculars so if you did good in that part of the deal, then I think you might have a chance to get into all your choices.

It's a case to case basis man. It depends on your stuff, which is by no means bad. But it also depends on the other applicants.

I hate to break your heart, but I had a 1580 on the SAT and I didn't get into Princeton, but you never know man.

Answer 4

Your criteria is on the average to low side. I'd rule out U Penn, MIT, and Princeton for sure. ...but judging by your handle 'lebron' I guess you might be black right? If you're black they'll probably push you ahead of tons of more qualified applicants. ...so go ahead and try it.

Answer 5

Quite frankly, I seriously doubt it.
Your SAT scores are are on the high side of mediocre, your GPA is on the low end of mediocre.
Unless you have some stellar attribute up your sleeve.
These schools turn down hundreds of valedictorians every year.
You should be applying to state colleges.

If you have the money they'll all take you. Just donate a large sum to the college you want to attend
