Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'd really like some assurance as I'm filling out the applications! (I'll try to make this as brief as possible)</p>

<p>I go to the 2nd ranked school in our state according to U.S. News and World Reports (we used to be the 1st in our state). It is a rigorous magnet school for health sciences and engineering.</p>

<p>Every course I've taken is honors or AP since freshman year (besides band, PE, and wellness). My AP courses taken/taking are French, English, U.S. History, Statistics, Music Theory, Microeconomics, and Government.</p>

<p>My GPA is 95.964 (96) unweighted. Our school doesn't do class rankings.</p>

<p>My ACT score (the test I've chosen to submit) is a 30 (composite). My subscores are a 33, 32, 32, 28, and 26 in English, writing, reading, math, and science (respectively)</p>

<p>Academic Honors:
National Beta Club
National Honors Society

AP Scholar</p>

<p>Club/Organizations/Activities:

<p>Volunteer Service:

(along with service activities in Beta, National Honors, French Honors)</p>

<p>I also wrote what my English teacher claimed was an amazing essay for the common application essay and I am very confident that my teachers will write good recommendations for me.</p>

<p>These are the colleges I'm applying to:</p>

<p>Furman
Clemson
Mercer
Emory
Wake Forest
Davidson
Duke
UNC
Vanderbilt
Northwestern
Johns Hopkins</p>

<p>If you have an idea if I can get into any of these schools, could you please assure me?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>bump…
I’ll chance back if you chance me</p>

<p>NU should be a match/low reach. My sister got in with almost the same GPA(4.0) 4 years ago except she had a lower ACT(27) and you have more impressive EC’s. Can you chance me for UW? I’ve had 100+ views and only one reply.

<p>Thanks cubbiefan!</p>

<p>I think that you should be into all the colleges but jhu Emory northwestern duke and vandy will be slight reaches but I think you will get into at least one of those. Goodluck and can you please chance back on one of my threads.</p>

<p>Mercer should be a given. I think you have a great chance at Furman, Clemson, and Wakeforest. Other then those, if you could get your ACT up a bit they would be better.</p>

<p>Bump…I’d really like some chancing on the more prestigious schools as well.</p>

<p>mmm ive never done the ACT in my life , nor do i know anything abt them ! did u do the SATs by any chance ??</p>

<p>I did, but I didn’t do well on it. According to an ACT-SAT conversion chart, my ACT score of a 30 would be equivalent to a 2030 or so (I’ve seen some say it is higher), and is in the 98th percentile of scores.</p>
