Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Basics:
-White female from northern NJ
- pretty competitive public high school -- about 250 in my graduating class (my school doesn't rank)
- I want to study communication with a concentration in public relations, but applied undecided to most schools.</p>

<p>Academics:
Frosh & Soph year I had all A's & B's and a few honors courses.
Junior and Senior year: 2 APs (Tests: English Lang 5, US History 4), honors French, four Syracuse University Project Advance classes (Forensics, Psych, Sociology, and English), selected for NJ Teen PEP program (basically sex ed but we educate the community about issues and help the freshmen adjust to the high school)</p>

<p>I had a serious concussion before my junior year and as a result my grades plummeted and I have maybe five Cs on my junior year transcript, but my counselor rec denotes it as a medical reason (well, obviously lol)</p>

<p>At the end of the year I will have taken a total of 6 years of language -- 3 Honors french and Italian I - III (only levels offered in my school currently as it's a new program)</p>

<p>GPA - 3.4
SAT I: CR-680, M-630, W-700
SAT II: English Lit-670, US History-600
ACT: 27 (but i didn't submit it)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
a) Community Service
- Girl Scout since second grade (pursuing Gold Award and I have my silver award)
- Sent shipments of Girl Scout cookies to Iraq as an independent service proj
- Interact club 10 11 12
- 4 years volunteering at the hospital
- Tons of miscellaneous community service</p>

<p>b) Athletics
- Field Hockey
- Lacrosse (soph yr only -- couldn't continue because of aforementioned concussion)
- Track (jr year)</p>

<p>c) Music
- Marching Band for 3 years (varsity letter)
- I've played the clarinet for 9 years.</p>

<p>d) Miscellaneous
- Global Connections Club - 11 (my applications might say 12? i filled them out before the schoolyear began, but i just got lazy and never showed up senior year haha.. shhh=])</p>

<p>***i know that some of my extracurriculars are all over the place/don't show much commitment, but my big ones were girl scouts and interact, as well as the rest of the community service.</p>

<p>Leadership:
- Team leader for a CCD (confirmation) group
- Nominated for and attended the National Student Leadership Conference (Mastering Leadership) at the University of Maryland
- Girl Scouting awards and projects I guess?</p>

<p>Work Experience:
I have a part time job as a hostess at a local restaurant (15 hours per week, got the job in June and have been working there ever since)</p>

<p>Application:
Teacher recs: i didn't see them, but i'm assuming they were good.
Counselor rec: splendid, haha (explains concussion predicament in detail)
Essays: pretty good, i think. writing is one of my strengths. </p>

<p>The Schools:
i've applied to the following.
- Penn State (University Park) (a little legacy)
- University of Maryland (College Park)
- Syracuse University (S.I. Newhouse School of Communications)
- The College of New Jersey (in-state target)
- James Madison University
- Loyola Maryland
- Villanova University
- University of Miami (communcations -- reach, but i have legacy so i figured i'd apply)
- University of Richmond (applied undecided, same story as Miami)
- Rowan University (in-state safety)</p>

<p>And i've already been accepted to(!):
- University of Connecticut (no word on aid yet) &
- Quinnipiac University ($12,000/year scholarship)</p>

<p><strong><em>ANY input you can offer would be amazing. link and i'll chance back:) thank you!<3</em></strong></p>

<p>Oh, and I forgot to mention:
PSU & Quinnipiac are rolling.
I applied to UMD, JMU, Loyola, and UConn Early Action.
And the rest are Regular Decision.</p>

<p>I know it’s a lot of reading but I promise to give you a solid paragraph of chances back!:)</p>

<p>I’m not familiar with a lot of those schools. I’d say Penn State is a mid-reach.</p>

<p>GPA and test scores are right in the middle for much of that list. EC’s appear above average, but not particularly outstanding. Just my 2cents</p>

<p>Edit: As far as I know, NJ is a tough place to be from. Lots of high scorers there.</p>
