I have 4 years of every major subject that colleges require. Extracurricular Activities: 4 years X 3 seasons Community Service/volunteer work: 200 hours Location: Massachusetts Class Rank: Unknown School Type: Regional Public (best public school in area) I also can get great recommendations from my volunteering supervisor, as well as many teachers that I had all throughout highschool. Also, my essay is looking pretty solid and looks like a for my overall application. What I am looking for: 4 year colleges in Massachusetts (primarily). To broaden my choices, I am looking for schools in the whole new england area as well as Florida and New York. *What are my chances at the following schools... 1. Suffolk University 2. Northeastern University 3. Emmanuel College 4. Merrimack College 5. University of Massachusetts Dartmouth 6. University of Massachusetts Lowell 7. New England College 8. Pace University 9. Assumption College 10. Curry College 11. Colby-Sawyer College 12. Boston University 13. Western New England College 14. University of Tampa 15. Jacksonville University 16. Salem State College Do I have a chance at any of these schools and if possible which ones are my best chances out of these ones? Also, any other schools that could be a good match is highly appreciated...I know that I should go to my guidance counsler, and I have, however, I just want to know what the public thinks from past experiences and for any other useful information that you may have. I also have searches many college websites such as collegeboard, princeton, collegedata, etc... Also, None of these schools have a cutoff for gpa or SAT scores. some just have recommended minimums. actually the only one that has a cut off is Salem State but its relative

Is that 2.9 GPA weighted or unweighted? If it's unweighted, then you might have a weighted GPA of over 3.0. I'm afraid a lot of the colleges won't accept you if you have below a 3.0 GPA. Even though they say they don't require a minimum GPA, the majority of students accepted to New England schools like U of Mass and U of Boston have well over a 3.5. Your test scores are decent but could have been better. It's a good thing that you took AP and honors courses, but your grades in them definitely could have been better. Go ahead and apply to the schools you're interested in, but keep in mind that most of the schools you have listed are pretty competitive to get into. You may be able to make up for your GPA with a great essay or teacher recommendations. Be sure to apply to some less competitive state schools as well in case your first choices don't work out. Good luck!
