Chance an Underachiever

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I appear to be a rarity on this sort of site. Anyways, I think my stats are seemingly worse than they actually are; colleges, however, acknowledge that my school is fairly difficult, so take my stats with a small grain of salt. I am from MA.</p>

<p>UW: 2.8
W: 3.5</p>

<p>We don't have ranks.</p>

<p>Course load for this year:
AP Lit
AP Euro
H Neurobiology
Physics I
Independent Study in US Foreign Policy</p>

<p>I took the AP Psychology exam last year without having taken the course and received a 5.</p>

<p>ACT: 34 composite - 35, 33, 33, 33
I sat the ACTs once, didn't sit the SATs at all.</p>

<p>ECs - Chair of Anti-War organization, musician (choral and guitar), extemporaneous speaker in forensics, worked 3 jobs - one at a large sailing center, actor, Ultimate Frisbee, Mock Trial, Senator, editor for 4 years on the school paper</p>

<p>Another advantage of my school is that we have a very strong guidance department. My essay is unique - I am 100% sure of this due to its subject matter - and apparently well written.</p>

<p>I think my recommendations are very solid. One of my teachers went out of his way to tell me that "it wasn't hard at all to write a standout recommendation" for me.</p>

<p>Prospective Major (if it ends up not being Hampshire/NCF): Neuroscience/English dbl</p>

<p>Chance me for:
New College FL
Hampshire College
Bard College
Oberlin College
Pitzer College
Eugene Lang College
Rhodes College</p>

<p>Oh, and I have won several awards for student journalism.</p>

<p>ECs are a bit weak, but i’d say all of those are w/in reach</p>

4

<p>You should in all of them but I would take says.</p>

5

<p>SATs sorry</p>

6

<p>Your gpa is a bit low but you have a great ACT score.
Considering your respective major.</p>

<p>New College FL- match (gpa a bit low for this school)
Hampshire College- match/safety
Bard College- low reach
Oberlin College- match
Pitzer College- match
Eugene Lang College- match/safety
Rhodes College- match</p>

7

<p>New College FL- match
Hampshire College- match
Bard College- reach
Oberlin College- match
Pitzer College- match
Eugene Lang College- match

<p>34 ACT is awesome man. GPA a bit weak, but its balanced.</p>

<p>In at all I would say, but I haven’t heard of some of the colleges, sorry.
Good Luck!</p>

9

<p>bump it up.</p>

10

<p>Oberlin I know will be a bit of a reach. I think you’re into Hampshire. Don’t know about the rest, though.</p>

11

<p>Bard and Oberlin are low reaches. In at eugene lang pitzer hampshire <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/815067-chances.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/815067-chances.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

12

<p>Grades for this term:
AP Lit - B
AP Euro - B+
H Neurobiology - A-
Physics I - B+</p>

13

<p>The ACT and EC’s get you into all of these schools, Essays/Recs look awesome, but the GPA kills you (yet, if it’s the school that’s responsible, then that might cut you some slack): Here are my chances:</p>

<p>New College FL: No clue, sry :frowning:
Hampshire College: In
Bard College: In
Oberlin College: Low-Reasonable Reach
Pitzer College: (the one in Cali, right?) Reasonable Reach
Eugene Lang College: In
Rhodes College: In</p>

<p>Hope this helps!! Plz Chance me!! (on the 2.0 thread)</p>
