<p>PLEASE HELP!
ok so Bowdoin is like my dream school.
I have a 3.8 unweighted GPA.</p>

640 writing and
650 Critical Reading.</p>

<p>i know my SAT’s arent as high as Bowdoin wants them but im taking them again to try and raise them.
in school I have taken Ap and honors classes and have challenged myself but i havent overloaded on accelerated classes.
I have a lot of EC’s that i hope would help me get into Bowdoin.
Four years of Varsity swimming, Varsity Captain (have talked to the swim coach about swimming for their team)
Girl Scout Gold and Silver Award.
Community service
JV Tennis captain
Editor of school news paper
Have won awards in the school drama club
President, Section leader, and first chair in our school’s Marching Band and Wind Ensemble
have had a job every summer since eight grade
and am a mentor for a camping trip that our school takes every year.</p>

<p>I would really like to know if i have any shot of getting into this school</p>

<p>Your best shot may be in getting selected to join their swim team, otherwise your chances are probably only fair, given your SAT score. Your ECs are very impressive, however. What is your class rank or decile?</p>

<p>My school does not rank their students but i am in the top 10% of my class</p>

<p>You might get into Bowdoin regardless of your SAT scores because Bowdoin is SAT OPTIONAL. You do not even have to submit your scores! I suggest you read their admission instructions!</p>
