Can I be accepted to any CUNY Colleges with a low SAT?? ?
Hi, I'm about to cry. I'm feeling like a loser, I don't know what to do. I want to apply for college (CUNY) but my SAT is very low. I got a 820 math & reading combined. 380 Reading, 440 Math. My total SAT math, writing and reading is 1280. My GPA at the end of my junior year was a 89, right now I'm a senior with a 91 GPA. I've not played any sports, clubs or amy extracurricular activities. Right now I'm a member of the Arista Honor Society. I'm taking AP Biology and AP Economics. I'm going to do more activities from now on. Do you think I can make to any CUNY college? I don't want to go to a community college. I want to major in Physician Assistant. Thr goal was to get accepted at Hunter, but my grades aren't that great. I'm not a lazy student, I just don't know why my SAT is so low, i'm a good student, excellent behavior... Etc. Any suggestions, ideas, critiques? I feel so miserable. Thanks to all of you in advance.
Can a college rescind its acceptance over bad 2nd marking period grades in a mid-year report? I have a D in math (B 1st MP) and Cs in all other AP classes and gym.
If these are recorded grades on your permanent transcript, then yes they can. But if these are just progress report grades, and you can bring them up before a grade is recorded on your transcript, then it is unlikely they will ever know.Your gym grade will not matter, although you do need to pass. Your AP classes do matter very much. Colleges do not like to see C’s in AP classes, but it happens. But the D in math needs to come up. Colleges will not accept a D, even if it officially passing in some high schools. If this is a math class you NEED to graduate or apply— such as Algebra 2 or Geometry, for example— then a D will most likely result in the college rescinding an offer.Having said that, it will depend upon the college. Highly selective colleges are more likely to rescind the offer and fill the spot with another student. Less selective colleges may work with you.
Will I be accepted into a good UC?
I have a 3.47 unweighted and 3.7 weighted and I have oustandings in my citizenship grade (teachers rate you on behavior) and I only have one U (unsatisfactory). I have taken numerous AP and honor courses and I have leadership, awards, honors, community service but the only thing that is keeping me away, in my mind, is a D in AP Spanish and a Unsatisfactory for my citizenship grade. I have 1920 on my SAT and teacher recomendations. will i get in. Part 2: do UCs look at citizenship grade or just letter grades
Can I accepted into graduate school for biology?
I go to Penn State. I am now a senior and my major was not in biology. It was in psychology. It was only not even a year ago, during my junior year of college, that I realized I made a fatal mistake in not majoring in biology in the first place. So now, I am trying to wrap it all up by taking as many biology classes as possible before I graduate this spring. The problem is that I go to a Penn State branch campus and they are extremely limited with what you can take for that subject. There aren't many high (400 lv) classes available. I know you don't have to major in something to get into grad school for it. Upon nearly completing my psychology degree, I have also taken Biology of sex, Biology of Aging, Physiology, Intro to botany, and Biology 110 (which is like the standard biology intro...). All of these classes I just mentioned are 100 level. I am currently taking Molecular Biology which is a 200 level. I have taken both chemistry 110 and chemistry 112 (which are like the intro chemistry and its sequel that are required for biology majors). I have also taken calculus because I know colleges tend to be anal about science majors having it. I have never taken physics. Nor have I taken organic chemistry, but I could over the summer. There are two 400 level biology classes being offered this summer. I am planning on taking them, even though I will be finished with my Psychology degree in late April.. Can I get into a biology grad program? Please no rude answers.
Do colleges look at suspensions on your school record?
I was wondering the same thing recently. I had an issue in middle school in which I had received disciplinary action, though I had nothing in high school.If your college is using the Common Application, then they will definitely ask about your high school record. The exact question asks:“Have you ever been found responsible for a disciplinary violation at any educational institution you have attended from the 9th grade (or the international equivalent) forward, whether related to academic misconduct or behavioral misconduct, that resulted in a disciplinary action? These actions could include, but are not limited to: probation, suspension, removal, dismissal, or expulsion from the institution”It will also ask if you have been found guilty of a misdemeanor or felony. If you have had high school disciplinary issues- including a suspension- they will look at that, and it’s in your best interest to own up to it and try to explain how you’ve changed since then. The same applies to any criminal record (however, you are not required to include anything that a judge has ruled to keep private. But you are not going to have issues with middle school or elementary school.
Will any university accept me despite there is a physical attack recorded in my behavior log? If it is just a bad factor, then to what degree will it matter?
That would depend on how much of an in depth background check the college does. If you are lucky and it is brought up you might have an opportunity to explain your side of the incident. Good luck.
I graduated high school with a 1.4 gpa, but a 27 on the ACT. Can i get into college ANYWHERE?
No, you really don't have a chance of getting into any 4-year college or university. No matter how smart you might be, a 1.4 tells them you're lazy, and that's definitely a failing GPA in college (you need to maintain a 2.0 or better to remain enrolled). But you can get into community college, and if you turn it around and do well there, you can transfer to a good school. You can't do an engineering degree online - it requires classes with labs. And if you're not willing to go to community college, you can't be very interested in college at all. Pretty much everyone you'll run into there had a higher GPA than you, trying or not.
How much can my GPA drop before colleges consider rescinding admissions?
Most people who work in admission do not want to rescind a student's admission. It creates a great deal of stress of the student and family, since by the time the grades have come in application deadlines have passed except for schools that are anything but selective. When I worked as an admission dean we would write to students whose grades had dropped. There were two different letters. For those that dropped, but not precipitously, we sent a warning letter. It pointed out that the drop is a source of concern and that we hoped the student would work hard when they arrived. We also put their name through for academic advisors to follow. The other letter asked the students to explain the drop in writing. Depending on what they wrote back would determine whether the issue was then over--with a very strong wsarning, or, in few cases each year, we asked the student to come to campus and meet with a panel to discuss the issue. The student would have to explain the dramatic drop in grades (usually at least a D but there were a few with multiple C's). Depending on why the grades had dropped (medical issues, family turmoil, of just letting things slide) and how well the student convinced us he or she would get back on track would determine if the offer was rescinded. In most cases, it was very hard to vote to rescind. (There were a few who just let everything slide and had nothing much to say other than they were sorry.) The students who came in to talk were very nervous and there were usually tears and pleas from the student and parents. A not insignificant number of students get warned, but few get dropped, usually no more than 1 or 2 per year in all the years I was in admission. Try not to be one of them.
