<p>I just finished submitting my applications and am nervous about my low math SAT score. Here are my stats:</p>
<p>SAT: Writing 800 Crit Reading 740 Math 640
SAT Subjects: Literature 780 US History 710
GPA: 4.75 Weighted
Rank: 8 out 275 (top 3% at a competetive private school)
I took AP Biology as a sophomore and AP Chemistry as a junior. I took AP US History I as a sophomore and AP US History II as a junior. I have taken all available honors course at my school. Currently, I am taking AP Psychology, AP European History, AP Calculus AB and AP Literature.
4 on AP Bio test
4 on AP US History test
(Did not report my AP Chem score because it was LOW.)
Captain of my cross-country team.
Varsity Winter and Spring Track
Homeroom Representative (My school's version of Student Council) all four years of high school.
Volunteer about 5 hrs a week and even more in the summer for The Jerry Leary Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping needy kids in my area.
Was an active volunteer and High School Representative for the Obama Campaign.
Write editorials on politics and articles on XC/track for my school paper.
Attended Georgetown University's weeklong program on Politics and Public Affairs this summer.
Member of the National Honors Society, Spanish National Honors Society and a National Merit Semifinalist. Recieved my high school's Scholar Athlete Award last year.
My essay is about the time I had to perform in front of the school at a pep rally. I think its pretty rad. My personal statement is about my passion for cross-country and how I was afraid I would be called a loser for being a runner when I was a freshman but now understand its more important to do what you love than to be 'cool.'
My teacher and counselor reccomendations are pretty good, as far as I know. My AP US history teacher said the reccomendation she wrote for me is one of the best she's ever written.
I get all A's and A+'s in my subjects, except science where I've gotten B+'s every year.</p>
<p>Here are the schools I applied to:</p>
<p>Georgetown (early action)
George Washington
American
Washington and Lee
Boston College
Boston University
Northeastern
Drexel
Villanova
Dartmouth
Brown
Bates
NYU
Emory</p>
<p>What do you think my chances are at these schools despite my subpar math score? Since I'm applying as a PoliSci major do you think it makes less of an impact?</p>
<p>PS: G-town is my top choice. I was deferred early action so I sent in a letter explaining why I really want to go there and an additional reccomendation from my high school's assistant principal who is also my AP Psychology teacher. I saw it and it is basically a rave, talking about how in forty years of teaching at my school I am one of the most talented individuals he has ever met. Do you think this will help my chances in regular decision?</p>

<p>Thanks guys. Keep them coming please, I’ll chance back!</p>
<p>Courseload is impressive and you have a great GPA to back it up. Your ECs are pretty good and I don’t see too much of a problem there. The only iffy part might be your SAT Math score. It’s not terrible, but not too great either. I honestly think that it might have been the reason you were deferred at Georgetown. However, I think that the new rec will help your chances quite a bit.</p>

<p>Id say you have a pretty good shot at all except the Ivy’s and even for those its only slightly less of a shot. Your GPA and courseload is good and so are your EC’s. If your essays and recs are good you could get in anywhere IMO</p>
<p>Please Chance back</p>

<p>buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump</p>
<p>buuuuuuuuuuuump. More please! I’ll chance back!</p>
<p>Wow, impressive. At the Ivys, it might be a little bit of a reach. But all the others look as if they’d be happy to have you, except maybe a couple. If Georgetown didn’t take you EA…I don’t know. I’ve talked to a couple people who didn’t get in EA then got in regular (not to Georgetown), but not many.</p>
