<p>Sorry this is a repost, my original got locked.
Ok so my dream schools are: Stanford, Duke, Vanderbilt, U of Chicago, and Cornell. My decent chance schools are UCLA, Cal Poly, Whitman and Pepperdine. Safer schools are University of Washington and Arizona state. I'm a junior right now.</p>
<p>GPA(unweighted): 3.75-that's my huge problem, I don't even have a weighted gpa because I didn't take any AP classes</p>
<p>SAT 1: Taking in a couple weeks, for the sake of getting answers right now I'm assuming they'll be around 2000-2100</p>
<p>I've taken 2 honors classes and received A's in both, im in precalculus right now and senior year I will be taking AP Stats, AP Macroeconomics, AP Gov. And APES. I have all my requiered classes for admission (foreign language, ect.)
EC's
Snowboard Team
NHS
debate team(I took 3rd in the state, which led to my school's overall championship)
2 years of JV lacrosse
Club soccer for a year
Church worship Band</p>
<p>HERE'S MY UNIQUE EC(hopefully)I was a theatrical movie actor in LA for many years, I aquired starring roles in t.v. Shows, a movie, and various commercials. For the sake of anonymity I won't say which ones, but will that be a major hook for me getting into these colleges? My main role is a starring character in a very popular animated disney movie.Thank you so much for reading.</p>
<p>oh really? because a little earlier you were an admission counselor for UCSD. Hm, weird.</p>
<p>Ok first off, I’m not getting in period to WHICH ones? second, i already told you. I have a starring role in a disney movie, not some dumb background extra role like you’re trying to degrade me to.</p>
<p>That’s great, you have a starring role. So what?</p>
<p>no one else does. thats what. you guys think 15,000 Key Club presidents stand out? No, yet thats all those kids try to do. Which is why people with high test scores get denied, because they’re just robots like the rest of them.</p>
<p>To be completely honest you just don’t have the grades to get into an Ivy league at this point, I have friends with 4.0 UW GPAs w/ 7-8 APs and 2300 SATs getting waitlisted and denied at Yale, Harvard, etc. I’d cross off the Ivies, Duke, UChicago, and Vanderbilt in my opinion. Also, telling us what Disney film this is would probably help in our understanding of your acting career.</p>
<p>thank you for being specific! and i just don’t wanna say what it is because I’m trying to keep myself somewhat anonymous here. it was released in 08’ though.</p>
<p>haha, well I’m not dumb enough to give away my identity online, so sorry about that. So please explain to me how I am disillusioned? If I was, I would probably go on college confidential forums and post on peoples threads trying to talk myself up and then attack their ec’s with warrantless claims. Oh wait.</p>
<p>I’m actually quite interested now but I understand the fact that you want to keep your privacy, I just don’t know if it will help you enough at prestigious universities like Duke, Stanford, etc. It could very well be a deciding factor down the road in another situation though, try schools like Boston U, Pitt, UNC, etc. they’re more in your range</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>hahaha</p>
<p>Anyway yeah you’re fine. Your grades are not fantastic but they’re definitely not bad. No one here can tell you how important your role will be, so I’d just wait and see what happens. </p>
<p>And yeah too many haters on this thread, just ignore.</p>
<p>if you can really get a 2050-2100 like you predicted on your SAT, you would have a pretty good shot. The only thing holding you back is the fact that your course load doesn’t have any APs so it doesn’t look as rigorous. But with good test scores and ECs it could make up for it. I would definitely say you have a better shot at UNC than Duke, Vanderbilt, and alot of the other reaches you named up there.</p>
<p>mroverweight: thanks man! I’m glad to hear that</p>
