<p>NOTE THIS IS NOT MY LIST, JUST COLLEGES IM CURIOUS ABOUT
GPA: UW-3.86/4.0, this is of course a rsult of grade deflation, although I attend a public school in Maine, it is insanely competitive, to give you a sense our school had 10-15 kids get into ivies last year, but it also sucks because it is pretty small so my class rank is just outside top 10%... ugh. There is potential for me to claw my way in S1, but I am not goin to rely on that.
SAT: One sitting
CR: 690
M: 760
W: 660 (considering a retake to get my superscore of 2200)</p>
<p>SAT 2: terrible, retaking for 700+ in both literature and math 2c</p>
<p>ECs (These will all be four year activities unless specified as another duration)
Mock Trial (state champions last season, maybe next season also!)
WAC/MUN 2 conferences attended, 2 delegate awards, will attend one next fall and spring
Math Team
Jazz Band
Orchestra
1 year inducted into NHS
Teaching assistant at a synagogue teaching a variety of ages
3 summers of being a camp counselor</p>
<p>Essay: Its gonna be really good, my summers as a camp counselor have all been spent with the youngest age group (3-4 years old) so I'm going to talk about how challenging and rewarding of an experience it was</p>
<p>Recs: Should be decent</p>
<p>No need for financial aid</p>
<p>Schools (note: these are schools that I am curious about, I have already gotten plenty of feedback on my current list. Are they matches reaches?)
U Richmond
Claremont Mckenna
Washington and Lee
UC-Berkeley
UPenn
Vanderbilt
Davidson
Colgate
Kenyon
PS- post the link if you want me to chance back</p>
<p>U Richmond-target
Claremont Mckenna- target
Washington and Lee-target
UC-Berkeley -big reach (UCB seems a bit out of place in this list too, very diff. from the other schools)
UPenn-reach
Vanderbilt-reach
Davidson-target
Colgate-target
Kenyon-target</p>
<p>Study for your SAT II’s. and where are your AP exam scores? Also, read the book On Writing the College Admissions Essay by Harry Bauld (former Brown adcom) -it’s a quick read and gives excellent advice.</p>
<p>I just wanted to say that I may be putting reach down for some of these although your scores fall in line with their 50 percentile --I am basing mostly on the low acceptance rates (i.e Brown was only 8% this year! So “reach” sometimes means reach for anyone)</p>
<p>Pomona-match-reach
Case Western-target
Hamilton-not familiar enough with this school to say
UVa-reach OOS (my son’s heading there this fall
Tufts-reach
Brown-big reach
Johns Hopkins-reach</p>
I got a real chuckle out of this. My HS Salutatorian had a 3.83 Cum and I didn’t think it was due to grade deflation. If there really were grade deflation that GPA would put you well in the top 10%.</p>
<p>well theyre deflated compared to other schools in Maine, and in case you didnt read my entire post, my school is extremely competitive, thanks jkiwmom, does anybody else want to help, PS what is the difference between a match and a target?</p>
