<p>BUMP! 10 char</p>

<p>It will help if you are “recruited” and your schools accept January scores… you are a senior, right?</p>

<p>Good luck and love your safety (safeties?)!</p>

<p>I called all my schools and they said they accept Jan scores. And yes I am a senior. Are my chances that bad??</p>

5

<p>"Are my chances that bad?? "</p>

<p>No.</p>

6

<p>Can you be a little more specific?</p>

7

<p>Not really. I don’t believe in “chances” and don’t claim any inside knowledge.I really should just wish you the best. Sorry.</p>

8

<p>you would improve your chances so much if you got recruited.</p>

<p>as of now, Villanova will be a good shot. forget the Ivy League schools, not a chance. </p>

<p>everything else, im not sure. it really is hard to say without GPA, as that is definitely the biggest factor. If you got all A’s, then youll get into several of those schools.</p>

<p>Well pandafuzz i’m retaking the SAT I in jan. If I can score a 2100+ on those, how much will my chances increase?</p>

<p>This is why chance threads aren’t worth jack.
One person says you have a good chance, and another says you have no chance at Ivies. My ACT and courseload are almost identical to yours, and I got into Brown ED. My friend with SAT II’s and XC stats similar to yours got into Penn and rejected by Lehigh. Instead of worrying about what high schoolers perceive your chances to be, go work on your applications and make sure your entire character/package shines through. That’s what really matters, or they wouldn’t ask for rec’s and supplemental essays. Good luck.</p>
