<p>Hey, I am done applying and I am beginning the long and grueling wait until April... Out of curiousity how do you guys feel about my chances. be brutal I know they are dismal.
GPA 3.85 uw all AP's except chem
SAT 1400 640m 760v
5-10% rank I think 7%
medium sized public high school
class schedule:
AP euro
AP english
AP calc
chemistry
College biotech class
3rd year French
teaching assistant (also last years APUSH teacher/ coach wrote amazing rec)
these are the only schools I don't think I could get that I applied to :
Northwestern
Notre Dame
UCHicago
ecs:
x country 3 years
track 4 years
youth group 4 yrs
ASB officer
tutor 3 yrs
lots of clubs with positions still pretty meaningless (NHS, Link Crew, teen advisory council, etc)
volunteer:
political campaigns
food bank
children's museum
my old catholic school's library
I have a lot of hours of community service and I invested a lot of time in running, but I am not good enough to continue in college. Anyways, I know I have excellent rec's because my teachers let me read them, (I know this is bad) I couldn't resist anyway, what do you guys think?
btw: I really liked my essays, except uchi's wasn't as "quirky" as I had hoped.
Thanks!</p>
<p>please guys your thoughts...</p>
<p>It really looks like everything is pretty well rounded to me. Not like I know anything you don't but you shouldnt think you don't have a chance. Community service along with athletics and good academics and the SAT score put you in a good position but theres really no way to tell. I wouldn't say dismal though..</p>
<p>thanks, I wish I had something to make me stand out. If I could go back I'd take up something really random and wonderful and just throw myself into it you know?</p>
<p>Yes, who knew you had to do something "unusual" or outstanding to get into college! Wish we had known about CC about 3 years ago.</p>
<p>That's what I've been wondering..I wish there was something about my future apps that would make them go wow..this is worth a second look..like something that wasnt cliche that could really be on anyones apps you know?</p>
