Do I have a chance at being accepted to this University??

Question

I live in NY and I really want to go to Sacred Heart University in Conneticut. My unweighted average is 92.93 and weighted it is 97.99. My rank is 63 out of 414 which my counselor says puts me in the Top 15% and SH requires Top 30%. My SAT score is 1130 and SH requires 1100. Critical Reading: 610 Math: 520 Writing: 620. I moved many times so I don't have a ton of honors and AP classes on my transcript, only a few. And I talked with the admissions officer from Sacred Heart at my school and she said they look at senior classes as well, in which I am taking 4 AP's. I also have many recommendations as well as a list of community service/volunteer work I've done as well as awards such as National and Foreign Language Honor Societies. I also wrote an essay that my AP English teacher thinks is excellent and I have also scheduled an interview for December 5th. Do you think I have a chance at being accepted??

Answer 1

While it is never a sure thing, I would guess yes. You seem to fit within all of their guidelines, and to have support from your teachers and counselors. SH isn't a terribly exclusive elite school, and it is likely that you will be an appealing candidate for them.
