Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi. So here's a list of some schools I'm wondering what my chances would be for: </p>

<p>Copy and Paste List
Boston College:
Emory:
Tulane:
Wake Forest:
Brown:
Carnegie Mellon
Vassar:
Washington University in St. Louis:
Columbia:
Tufts:
Vanderbilit:</p>

<p>If you have any other colleges that are similar or you think I could be a good fit for please comment, this whole college process is super overwhelming and any help is greatly appreciated for. And I don't know if this is factored in but I want to double major in Economics and International Relations :)</p>

<p>Here's my stats:</p>

<p>Classes
-8th grade: Algebra 1 HN (A), Spanish 1 (A)
-Freshman year: World History 1 HN (A), Biology HN (B+), English 9 HN (A), Geometry HN (A-), Art (A), Gym (A), Spanish 2 (A)
-Sophomore year: AP World History (A), Chemistry HN (A-), English 10 HN (A), Algebra 2 HN (A-), Fashion Marketing (A), Gym (A), Spanish 3 (A-)
-Junior year (this year): AP US History (A), Physics HN (A), AP Lang (A), Precalc/Trig HN (A), SGA (A), AP Economics (A-), Spanish 4 (A)
My weighted GPA is 4.3 and unweighted is 3.92. We don't do class ranks but I think I would probably be in at least the top 10% of my class.</p>

<p>SAT: 1980 (CR:700 M:660 W:620) I didn't really study so I know I should be able to raise my score by about 150-200 points.
ACT: I haven't taken the ACT yet (I'm taking it in 2 weeks) but on most of my practice tests I've been getting a 32-33</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
-Girl Scouts (Bronze and Silver Awards and I'm working on my Gold) since I was 5
-Competitive Dance (think 15-20 hours a week, 6 days a week) since I was 4
-I played field hockey in 9th and 10th grade but had to stop because of an ACL injury
-Math League 10th grade
-DECA 10th grade
-I joined Key Club, History Honor Society, National Honor Society, Student Government, and Model UN (I'm vice president) this year.</p>

<p>Other:
-I won first place at the school, regional, and state level for National History Day
-I was a Girl Scout Congressional Aide last summer (a mini internship at a congressman's office)
-This summer I am going on a Girl Scout service trip to Costa Rica</p>

<p>Thank you and I'll of course chance anyone back who chances me!!
:)</p>

<p>I honestly feel if you got your sat up you could aim a little higher. In my humble opinion
Emory match
Wash u low reach
Bc high match
Vassar match
Wake forest high match low reach
Cmu low reach

<p>@ShowMeState700 do you think if I got my sat up an ivy league school could be possible?</p>

4

<p>Ivys are unpredictable but I think you have a shot. Also could u chance me back</p>

5

<p>Assuming you get your SAT up I’d say…</p>

<p>Boston College: yes
Emory: almost definitely
Tulane: yes
Wake Forest: I don’t know but they don’t require SAT/ACT scores so if you don’t do well, you can still get in
Brown: sorry, but probably not but that’s the same with 90% of the people that apply so
Carnegie Mellon: maybe, but it’s my understanding that CMU is mainly for people majoring in computer sciences and engineering, not economics or int. relations
Vassar: maybe?
Washington University in St. Louis: lowish reach
Columbia: probably not but I’d at least try
Tufts: maybe
Vanderbilit: maybe</p>

<p>I might be lowballing it because you have really good ECs
Good luck!</p>

<p>Boston College: match
Emory: low reach
Tulane: low reach
Wake Forest: match
Brown: low reach
Carnegie Mellon: low reach
Vassar: match
Washington University in St. Louis: low reach
Columbia: high reach
Tufts: dunno
Vanderbilit: dunno</p>

<p>I’m not too familiar with most of these schools, but from a quick look I’d say that you have a fair chance of getting into at least a few of these places. I’d definitely take another look at the SAT (unless you don’t plan on sending it or if it’s not required)… and just keep up your ECs. I think your ECs may be the backbone of your profile, so I would emphasize those (that is, if it’s important to you haha) on your app.</p>

7

<p>Part of this depends if you apply ED/RD (most of those schools don’t have an EA) but assuming you apply RD (or EA wherever possible) to all of these places…</p>

<p>Boston College: match
Emory: high reach
Tulane: safety
Wake Forest: match
Brown: high reach
Carnegie Mellon: low reach
Vassar: never heard of it, so idk
Washington University in St. Louis: high reach
Columbia: high reach
Tufts: medium reach
Vanderbilit: medium reach</p>

<p>I am basing this off of your current SAT score. And to answer the question you asked earlier, if you get your SAT score up to the 2200 range you may have a shot at Ivies, but it would be very unlikely. Your dance seems like an impressive EC, but other than that there isn’t much else impressive on your app.</p>

<p>Boston College: High match/Low reach
Emory: High match/Low reach
Tulane: Match
Wake Forest: Low reach
Brown: Reach
Carnegie Mellon: Reach
Vassar: Reach
Washington University in St. Louis: Reach
Columbia: Reach
Tufts: Reach
Vanderbilt: Reach</p>

<p>The terms match, reach, etc. are confusing, so I will give percentage chances.</p>

<p>Boston College: 70%
Emory: 50%
Tulane: 75%
Wake Forest: 55%
Brown: 15%
Carnegie Mellon 45%
Vassar: 50%
Washington University in St. Louis: 30%
Columbia: 10%
Tufts: 25%
Vanderbilit: 20%</p>

<p>If you got your SAT’s up (to a 2200+), you could definitely aim for Ivies and hope for something :slight_smile: But please, don’t forget about SAT subject tests. You definitely need to do good on at least two if you want to be a really competitive applicant. If you’re majoring in Economics and International relations, why not take Math Level 2 and Spanish? If you did good on those, it would boost your chances by a significant amount. With that, Columbia and Brown could be low reaches for you, (which is a pretty good for Ivies), the rest being matches. Soooo yeahh… go for it :)</p>

<p>I’d REALLY appreciate if you chanced back for me. Only for one school :slight_smile:

<p>Boston College: low reach
Emory: low reach
Brown: high reach
Carnegie Mellon: high match
Washington University in St. Louis: low reach
Columbia: high reach
Tufts: low reach
Vanderbilit: reach</p>

<p>Work on them test scores!</p>

13

<p>Ivies are all high reaches considering your test scores, so is the case with CMU CS department.</p>

<p>WUSTL is easier, but it’s still a reach. R U applying FA there?</p>

<p>Emory is a low reach.BC is also a low reach.</p>

<p>Boost your test scores.</p>

14

<p>If you get your SAT scores up, you’re almost guaranteed @ all of you schools except Columbia. As high as all of your scores are, I know a student who had a 4.0 uw and 4.25 w, 2290 sat score and great Ecs and didn’t get in. Does it make sense? No, of course not. But that is how iviss work</p>

<p>Thanks so much! Leave a link and I’ll chance back :)</p>

17

<p>Also I don’t know if this will help but I probable have at least 150 hours from dancing and volunteering backstage at a nonprofit ballet company. I know I’m lacking a little in the community service department.</p>

18

<p>Honestly I don’t know much about many of the schools you listed. I will say that your grades are good and you have really good ECs. Really make sure to get those test scores up too, around a 2200 SAT and 34+ ACT, if you can. I’ll do the ones I know about :stuck_out_tongue:
Wake Forest: Match
Brown: Reach
Carnegie Mellon: Low Reach/ High Match
Columbia: Reach
Vanderbilt: Low Reach</p>

I will definately 100% chance you back - #33 by collegeman18 - Chance Me / Match Me! - College Confidential Forums; think you will have better chances with a higher sat.</p>

<p>Brown mid reach
Cornell low reach
Wake forest high match
Emory high match
Tufts low reach
Wustl high match low reach
Vandy high match low reach
Boston college match</p>

<p>Good luck</p>

<p>I’d say you’d be a good match for all of them except the ivies. I believe those are always reach schools. Better chances at Brown than Columbia though.</p>
