<p>Hello,
I am a current high school junior from New Jersey and I am wondering what my chances would be for applying to Bates.
I am planning to apply ED I.
I have a GPA of 3.6
I have taken all honers/accelerated courses, including three AP's so far (I plan to take 5 next year).
My SAT score is a 1970 after one test (I plan to take it again a few more times)
680 Critical Reading
570 Math
700 Writing
I am a varsity rower, and have been for two years.
I designed, organized, and built a garden composed of plants which were all native to my area to be used my school and local elementary schools for ecological education
I plan to attend a summer environmental science leadership course this summer from a local university (Drexel).
I participate in a soup kitchen staffed by members of my church almost every month.
I served on the leadership committee for my school's Peer Mentor program, as well as participated in said program for two years.
I was a youth leader for my church's conformation class.
I have been going on a mission trip to rural Kentucky to repair houses for four years.
I plan to go with my school on a service trip to Honduras to build schools this summer.
I have also participated in my school's model UN beginning this year. </p>
<p>What do you guys think my chances are, and what can I do to improve them?</p>
