Any chance at the Claremont five??

Applying to College

<p>Im a rising senior and I really would appreciate if someone could let me know if I have at least a praying chance at any of the Claremont Colleges. So far I have a gpa of w: 4.67 and uw: 3.83, my first SAT was a 1980 (CR:670 M:690 W:620) but I plan on retaking it in october an breaking at least a 2100, just got back my first ACT score with a 32, also plan on retaking. my extracurriculars are ok I think.. freashman: JV tennis, water polo, and swim. Sophmore:V tennis, swim, JV water polo. Junior:V tennis, swim. and I'm not sure yet if I can handle doing tennis again my senior year. I did Academic League for a year - JV, CSF for two semsters so far, I plan on joining the Roots and Shoots club (which is the same as our key club), and continuing CSF. I am currently volunteering for the San Diego River Park, local library, and a therapeutic horse ranch.</p>

<p>What I really want to do is become a psychologist for the VA and work at one of their abroad hositals (hopefully the one in Frankfurt), and I know that at a ton of colleges, psychology is looked down on as a BS major so also if you know of any leading psych schools please mention!</p>

<p>If you can break 2200, I would say Pomona is probably a low reach or high match. Harvey Mudd is not really an option if you aren’t very Math-oriented, and unless you’re female, Scripps won’t take you anyway. Pitzer is definitely a match, however.
Claremont McKenna is iffy; I would suppose it would be a low reach/high match, but they really value leadership.</p>

<p>Good chance at Pitzer.</p>

<p>You should have a decent shot. The 32 is pretty strong and the SATs aren’t off by too much. Most people go up the second time they take the SAT. You will be fine.</p>

<p>Hey, you have a fair shot at almost all of the 5Cs! My stats are lower than your current ones, and I received admittance to Claremont Mckenna and Scripps. I got waitlisted at Pomona, but that was more than I expected :slight_smile: Just write a killer/ passionate / UNIQUE essay!</p>
