Can you guys help me out?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey! If you can tell me my chances at the listed schools, that would be amazing. I am applying to Yale this fall and would like to know (as everyone does) what my chances may be, although no one can ever be sure of course. Here's the sum-up, at least in part, of the last four years of my life:</p>

<p>Ok first here are my hopefuls, from most desired to least: Yale, Princeton, Columbia, UPenn, Georgetown, NYU, & Brown?</p>

<p>SAT I: 770 Writing, 740 Critical Reading, 700 Math - plan to retake to raise math score to at least a 750, and hopefully also CR to a 750+</p>

<p>SAT II's: 730 Bio, 720 US History. -Spanish & W.History in fall .. 750+ almost definitely. Will retake US History for 740+. (I am going to study extensively this time - last time was right around finals at school.)</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 Class Rank: 3/256</p>

<p>Have great recommendations lined up from people who know me well.</p>

<p>E/C's:
President of Interact Club.
Founder & President of Political Awareness Club.
1st place (region), 4th place (state) - Communications
Varsity Softball Captain 4 years, MVP last 2 years.
Internship w/ Congressmen
Violin (school only, not accredited, don't plan to continue) since 5th grade. </p>

<ul>
<li><p>I am in the process of starting a website for my "project" .. for the past 3 years of high school I have put somewhat shocking posters about poverty, disease, etc. in our school to raise awareness, and I organized a fundraiser for a specific cause each year, twice a year to show how the awareness led to action, and that kind of thing. I have really enjoyed this =)</p></li>
<li><p>I am deeply involved with each of these e/c's & I spend a large chunk of time on them each week. I wont go into detail here. </p></li>
</ul>

<p>Summers: Before 9th, 10th, and 11th grade I coached a softball team for disadvantaged kids, I volunteered every day @ United Neighborhood Centers (I got the job of Public Relations Director after 2 years or spending time there.) I also volunteered with political campaigns. The summer before 12th grade (currently): mission trip to Dominican Republic, organized trip & fundraised for it extensively. I also attended Pennsylvania's Governor's School for International Relations .. or, more acurately, I am attending it right now.</p>

<p>Possible essay topic: My proudest achievement .. I "campaigned" & petitioned the School Board to make changes on the girls' softball field, which was rundown & generally in much worse shape than the boys' field. I used that fact about gender inequality to make my argument, and was successful. </p>

<p>Ok thanks a million, sorry if I bored you ..</p>

<p>Good GPA, good rank, decent/good ECs, good SAT = in at all maybe 1 or 2 rejection letters</p>

<p>Don't all colleges say you have to take the Math IIC SAT2 though?</p>

<p>This has nothing to do with chances but is a reminder about SAT subject tests - not all tests are given on all dates, specifically World History which is not given again until Dec. Here's the list from CB with dates for subject tests</p>

<p>Math II is not required at all colleges, but be sure to check each school websites for their specifications</p>

<p>Good luck - you are well qualified to apply to any of the schools you mentioned, just be sure to add some safeties because all those on your list are reaches for everyone.</p>
