Chance Brandeis/American/Middlebury, I'll chance back :)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>SAT: Reading-750, Math-530 (I know, it's terrible!), Writing-710</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 weighted 3.8 unweighted</p>

<p>IB Classes: 6, the other is 4th yr JROTC and Physical Science (because apparently our school didn't figure out until THIS SUMMER that seniors had to take it to graduate...)</p>

<p>EC's: Drill team (4yrs) JROTC Staff (Assistant S-5 last year, S-5 this year as well as being the brigade S-5 for my school district), Book Club (11th 12th), Kickboxing (12th), Volunteer at Emory Hospital (11th 12th) Volunteer at Church (9th 10th) Volunteer at Georgia Aquarium (10th)</p>

<p>Awards: Honor roll all 4 yrs, Agnes Scott Book Award, National Achievement Scholar Nominee</p>

<p>Class Rank: Our school royally messed it up so they've decided to take it off the transcripts unless requested </p>

<p>Other factors: Black female first gen from a single parent low income family</p>

<p>I'm mostly shooting for politically active liberal arts colleges (Brandeis, American, William and Mary, Depauw). My reaches are RIDICULOUS (Middlebury, Harvard, Columbia) and I know I'm not getting in, but a girl can dream yeah? </p>

<p>I've also taken Arabic for four years and it's what I want to study (All of the schools I'm applying to offer it in some form), will this make me more competitive? </p>

<p>I've got mediocre scores and scanty EC's (because I basically didn't start thinking of college until Junior year) but will schools still be interested in me? I'm not sure because my college counselor is awesomely supportive but he's only 22 and I think he may be too optimistic...</p>

<p>You should try taking 3 SAT IIs or the ACT and submit the scores to Midd. Your chances with that math score are very slim.</p>

3

<p>Brandeis - reach
American - match
Middlebury - high reach</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>

4

<p>I think middlebury is a high reach but the other two are both high matches. I’d there is anything you can do, it would be to work on your essays cause that can be a boost. Good luck and chance back please!</p>

5

<p>Reach for all.
That math score puts you bellow-the-line for most competative schools.</p>

6

<p>Brandeis and Middlebury are both reaches, but I think you should be a good match for American.</p>

<p>Can you retake the SAT, take math Sat subjects or take the ACT? That 530 really hurts you. You have a good GPA and are an URM, so you should use that to your advantage.</p>

<p>Chance back?</p>
