–list is kind of short… any suggestions?</p>
<p>SAT good, a little above the mid 50%. ACT is OK, SAT II is wayyyy too low. why do you only have 4 APs? your ECs are kind of..... normal.i mean the soccer is great and stuff, (best sport in the world), but still. i'd say you have a good chance, fighting chance, your GPA is BOMB (thats good), what is it unweighted? around 3.9? i think you shud b fine. your SAT IIs need work tho.</p>
<p>thanks ZRealMadridZ .. although I am a Chelsea girl.. lol :)</p>
<p>but yeah unweighted it is a 3.9.. and i am hoping for better scores of the SAT IIs when i test again in June.. what is a competitive score for the SAT IIs, like around 700??</p>
<p>for ivys you want about 750, for BC though, you're good with 700. you shud def. apply early. it may be more competitive and you have to do it early, but believe, me, its worth it, i had half my UC application already done, and you are pretty much done with your privates (everyone except georgetown), so you only have to do supplementals. and if you do them in late december like everyone does you'll already be into BC! </p>
<p>my fav fav fav team is madrid, but when it comes to the EPL its all about manchester united! maybe you should get another captain that doesn't slip on the most important kick of his life :)</p>
<p>Here are my stats...I'm currently wait listed, so if your scores are around mine or a bit higher and your essays rock, you should have a good shot at getting in.</p>
<p>ACT 31
SAT (though I don't remember if I gave them my SAT scores)
1960 (720 M, 590 CR, 650 W)
710 SATII Math
650 SATII Chemistry
GPA - 3.94 weighted, 3.66 unweighted. I messed up sophomore year, and wrote about it in my essay. Excluding sophomore year, I have gotten all A's and one B.
6 AP courses
10 Honors courses
Lots of awards, on a few committees for the school district, varsity lacrosse goalie 4 years (though they didn't look at me for recruitment), 2 years varsity swimming, technical officer for my school's theatre program, Student gov. VP, NHS, lots of community service, and some other activities.
My high school is one of the biggest in the state....so I guess that makes it a bit harder to get involved in bigger positions.</p>
<p>Hope this helps!!
I think you have a great chance!! Maybe try taking your ACT's again if you decide to send those scores in, and make sure you have a challenging schedule for senior year. You may also want to join another community service group, or something else that will look distinct on your resume. Otherwise, keep up the good work! Your GPA is awesome!</p>
