Chance a nervous Jersey boy

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<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
USC</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'm so nervous about getting a rejection letter on the 15th.</p>

<p>I think you're BASICALLY in everywhere, except maybe the Ivies and G-town. And even there, you have a fair shot :)</p>

<p>you have a 2180. I know it is "sub-par" according to you (rofl!) but you'll be okay :P</p>

3

<p>I think you have a good list.</p>

4

<p>Lol I know my overall SAT isn't sub-par, just my math is for most of the schools I'm trying for. I was just wondering how much that one score would affect my overall chances. Anyone else? I'll chance back.</p>

5

<p>i wish i had a few tougher schools to get into on my list, the hard ones i have are Emory, Georgia Tech, Case Western, and University of Rochester...i thought vanderbilt and UVA but yea i doubt it</p>

6

<p>Georgetown only defers early, so don't worry about being rejected in the early round</p>

<p>you have great numbers, the extracurriculars are fine...you'll be fine for your match schools. as for georgetown, you're a competitive applicant, but there aren't any guarantees. good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks guys. I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for Georgetown EA. I'll chance back if anyone chances me and posts a link.</p>
