Chance an Alaskan for Top Schools?

<p>Hi! I'm currently a junior at a large public school and I was wondering what my chances are for getting into these schools. I plan applying to a lot of schools mainly for financial reasons.</p>

American
Fordham

George Mason
Seattle U</p>

<p>Anyways, on to stats. I'm worried about my EC's because they seem a bit scattered, but I am dedicated to all of them. I'm a white male at a large public school in Alaska. My teacher recs are coming from my APUSH and AP Lang teachers, and I have a feeling both will be fantastic.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars</p>

<p>Youth Court - Currently the Chief Judge. I've been doing this since I was a freshman and have racked up over 520 hours of community service with this organization. I also participate on the organization's Executive Board, Board of Directors, and Ethics Board.</p>

<p>Speech and Debate - I've been doing this since my sophomore year and am currently the team's treasurer. I was a semifinalist at the state tournament in LD debate my sophomore year and an octafinalist my junior year. I also was a semifinalist in Congressional Debate my junior year as well. I have attended/will be attending NCFL Nationals in LD debate in both my sophomore and junior years. I also was the 3rd person in my school's history to break to outrounds at a major national tournament. I'm not attempting to brag, I'm just attempting to show that I'm really dedicated to the activity.</p>

<p>Partners Club - I've been working with this club since my freshman year and am currently a co-president. We basically work with the special education kids at my school to make them feel like an important part of the school community.</p>

<p>Mock Trial - I did this activity this year because our team needed another attorney and I agreed to do it so that they wouldn't have to drop out of the competition. I actually learned a lot from it and plan to return next year! It was a lot of fun.</p>

<p>JV Tennis - I've been playing since my sophomore year. I mostly do this just for the purposes of fun and fitness. I have no realistic expectations of making varsity, but I've had fun playing tennis and I've found a sport I actually like, so that's a plus. I won't be playing senior year because of surgery, however.</p>

<p>We the People Team - We won the state tournament my junior year. I will probably return next year as an assistant coach for the team.</p>

<p>NHS - It's kind of a joke at my school, so...</p>

<p>So, there you all go. Sorry for having a bit of a long, disorganized thread, but I wanted to provide as much information as possible! Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I’m willing to chance back too!</p>

<p>I think being Alaskan might help you because it is a under represented state like Montanta</p>

<p>Whoops, I’m actually going to be a senior next year. I don’t know why I typed junior initially.</p>

<p>If you’re going for law, your ECs would be great! It’s cool that you’re Alaskan, as @lacoste stated, it’s underrepresented and you may have an easier chance getting in because colleges want students from different areas. Your ACT score is a little low, though. If you manage to raise it to 35, you’re chances would increase dramatically.
