CHANCE me and I WILL CHANCE YOU BACK!!! =]

<p>Here's my thread: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/593381-middlebury-hamilton-amherst-do-i-have-shot.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/593381-middlebury-hamilton-amherst-do-i-have-shot.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>You probably have more APs than just about anyone else applying. I was also really impressed with your leadership roles--especially class president. However, though it seems like you're interested in science, I have a little trouble figuring out just WHAT you're passionate about. Is it engineering? Math? Something completely different?</p>

<p>If you can paint a clear picture--either in your essay or in some other form--of what moves you, I think you can expect to get into at least 2 or 3 ivies, if not more. Best of luck!</p>

<p>I do math and science, simply because I do well. And before joining speech and debate,
I thought all I had was math and science. But my sophomore year, I joined speech and debate, and started loving about everything, even politics! Although it was a hard path for me (speaking event, and competing against native speakers, accent problem as well), I was so passionate about it that I haven't had time to expand my skills in science and debate (which I was good, but didn't have passion for) and managed to place in semi-finals at state. Should I keep what I am doing or do something that I actually do well?</p>

<p>you sound outstanding. you should have no problem with any college as long as you raise the SAT scores like you said you would.</p>

<p>"Should I keep what I am doing or do something that I actually do well?"</p>

<p>Do whatever you're passionate about. A lot of satisfaction can come from not simply doing what's easy for you. Congrats on your accomplishments. </p>

<p>Oh, and I don't know how not being a resident is going to affect your chances, but it seems that if you do increase your SATs, you'll have an excellent shot everywhere. I think everyone else has broken it down enough for you. Good luck!!</p>

<p>Oh, by the way <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/594106-i-m-guessing-barnard-s-reach-right-nyu-gwu-etc-i-promise-chance-back.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/594106-i-m-guessing-barnard-s-reach-right-nyu-gwu-etc-i-promise-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Ha, it’s about 3 years later. Did you make it? I wouldn’t be surprised either way.</p>
