<p><em>*I also took a practice SAT and got a 2150 & I'm hoping that with all the practice I'm doing I can score at least a 2200</em></p>

<p>**My extra-curriculars:
*Speech and Debate! I went to Nationals both years that I participated on the team. But this year I actually placed 5th place out of 225 people. And I was state champion in both years.
*Mock Trial: all years of high school
*Class President: all years of high school
*School Committee representative: all years of high school
*Unity Project: all years of high school
*Internship last summer w/ a human rights organization. And was offered an internship with a Fortune 500 marketing company next summer :)</p>

<p>*<strong><em>I'm very passionate with these things. I do TONS more than what I've listed but the things above are my ABSOLUTE favorite & I don't find it necessary to right all of my ec's to brag. *</em></strong></p>

<p><strong><em>My biggest accomplishment, however, is winning a state-wide award that is given to one woman from the age of 12-21 that has made a significant difference for the community where I made an acceptance speech in front of 700 people. *</em></strong></p>

<p>I'm also a very busy person, I am very involved my school, I am a VERY underrepresented minority. I have also started my own organization and we have hosted many events. I live in an area with a lot of discrimination against new immigrants and my organization was made to build bridges between the newcomers and the native and to break down biases I am the daughter of Somali refugees. </p>

<p>I was wondering what my chances would be into getting into the following colleges, and if you could give me some suggestions of where I should apply.</p>

<p>THANK YOU SO MUCH :) :) :) :) </p>

<p>Harvard
Smith
Boston College
Brandeis
Tufts
Wellesley
Williams
University of Massachusetts at Amherst
Mount Holyoke
Clark
Bentley
Simmons
Emerson
Suffolk</p>

<p>I only want to apply to colleges in the Massachusetts area.</p>

<p>THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH :) :) :) :) !!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Also: I want to go into Journalism/Political Science/Women Studies/International Affairs/Communications</p>

<p>Great Chances, your EC’s show strong dedication. And also you say your a Very URM ^^…</p>

<p>thank you :slight_smile: </p>

<p>BUUUUUUUUMP!</p>

<p>You’re missing the point, here. Chance threads exist for the sole reason of allowing neurotic kids to brag and pose and posture for a bunch of equally neurotic kids. </p>

<p>(My actual two cents: If you actually do get all As and actually do meet your predicted SAT scores, you’re fine. Even if you don’t quite reach those high benchmarks, you’re probably in contention for everywhere except the top tier, who, depending on essays, recs, and the nature of your other ECs, still might give you a shot.)</p>

<p>Harvard is a big reach because of your sophomore year GPA. Good luck on the rest though!! Volunteer more.</p>
