Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>This is my first post, but I'm hoping to get the opinion of some people on here who are not as biased as my parents and counselor. </p>

<p>SAT: 2120, CR 800, M 640, W 680
ACT: 30, will get new scores tomorrow
Subject Tests: will take on Oct, 6
GPA: 3.51, this is at a small private school that is the best in my city</p>

<p>ECs and Awards:
President of School Latin Club
Founder of School Garden Club
I work for my parents nearly full time at their very unique small business
Horseback riding
National Latin Honor Society Member
National Latin Awards
My ceramics sculptures have been displayed in some prestigious shows around town</p>

<p>Other Info:
I'm a Native American from Oklahoma
I skipped 8th grade, which accounts for the upwards trend in my grades </p>

<p>Please chance me for any of these schools: Princeton, Harvard, Wesleyan, Brown, Pomona, Williams, Bowdoin, Middlebury, and Macalaster </p>

<p>Thanks, I really appreciate any help</p>

<p>I forgot to mention that my course load is fairly rigorous, but my school does not offer many honors or AP. Also, finances are not a concern.</p>

<p>I think being a URM will definitely help your chances, especially with the Ivy League. Your clubs/extracurriculars are unique and interesting. At this point, it will be up to your essays and teacher evaluations. </p>

<p>Good Luck :)</p>

<p>Thanks for your help. Does anyone else have opinions as to wether my “hooks” will compensate for my relatively low grades and scores?</p>

<p>Chances are quite good thanks to ethnicity, but a 3.5 could put you out of the running at Harvard and Princeton. Good luck.</p>

<p>bump, I could really use some more opinions. Thanks</p>

<p>So…can you tell me what you’re adding to a campus like an Ivy? Are you going to build a vegetable garden or sell sculptures? You’re really pretentious by using your “small, private” school as an excuse for your abominable grades.</p>
