How hard is it to get into it, I believe I have some of the crappiests grades in tech >.> 62 being the minimum 71 being the maximum...do I stand a chance?

(Those are based on overall averages)

Stand a chance against what?

[Becca95]

SSR is usually a hard major to get in since many people want it, you're really going to have to do better for the first semester of sophomore yr to have a chance.

SSR is very hard to get into. I think you have a .01% chance of getting in, considering your low averages. Even if you got straight 100's in every class throughout next year, it won't be enough to pull your grades back up.

I would say you need at least a 90 overall and be ranked around the top 250 during major selection to stand a chance.

[SoLR]

Nah, you don't really have a chance.

[HereIAm]

Lol okay thanks, atleast I didn't waste my time.

[Chiyeung DjChi Lau]

Hmm you still should try in my opinion. You would have atleast a 1 percent chance of entry due to computer error, but you never know.

Rank the choices based on what you WANT. If you think you're not qualified to do it based on your grades, do it anyway or you'll never know if you had a chance or not.

I may really want it but I'm just being realistic and won't waste a spot for it on my majors selection

[DoodleKid]

...If you really want it, how are you wasting a spot on your major selections? Would you rather be in a major you're interested in, or a major you knew would take you in? Plus you're gonna have to list every major in order of preference when it comes to selecting them.

I'm only interested in it because I want to debate my obviously correct theories on human psychology with overachievers who can't think for themselves and go by what is acceptable in society. But if the major doesn't want underachievers in it not much I can do about that.

inb4 join debate team to debate

I would but I prefer not being a nerd(no offense)

...I like your brain, but I kinda hate your mouth. Just kinda.

Remember that youre also competing against every sophomore that could possibly apply for SSR. Your grades dont have to be extraordinary, they just have to be higher than the majority of your peers. When ranking, i believe the system compares you to every other student.

ssr is pretty hard to get into. most people form threads about ssr but they aren't willing to change to get into ssr. just go for law and society which mostly accepts people that mostly choose las as one of their top choices

I'm pretty sure the grades on your transcript. Both terms of freshman year and first term of sophomore year.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

That is correct.

And your high school credits (regents courses) from Junior High also carry over to your high school transcript and will be factored as well.
