Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Barnard is one of my reach schools, although the chances of getting in are small, it is still a dream for me. I did not have my application together to apply ED but I will be applying RD. I would love to know from my EC's, GPA, etc. if I have a chance of getting in. If any students at Barnard have tips for the application, I would really appreciate i!</p>

<p>ACT Composite: 25 (English 30, Reading 28).. not so great :(
GPA: 3.7
AP Courses: 7 total</p>

<p>EC's:
Pre-professional ballet company member (9,10,11,12) <strong>Attended a pre-professional ballet program for 6 weeks one summer</strong>
Model UN Chair and Delegate (10,11,12) <strong>I chaired/delegated in both English and Spanish.</strong>

–You need to raise your ACT score, as it’s not high enough for Barnard. But there’s no cutoff, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
-good GPA
-Being URM and First-generation will give you a slight boost
-The Ballet and Fashion Blogging ECs are what stands out to me the most
-Since you want to major in dance at BC, the ballet will only help you
