<p>I don’t get what your asking</p>

<p>What my chances are to get accepted into the schools listed.</p>

<p>To be honest USC is a bit of a gamble. Everything else is a match though. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1372010-chance-urm-aa-his-whole-list.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1372010-chance-urm-aa-his-whole-list.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Looks like they are all around matches. I would try to raise your ACT or SAT, if possible. I dont really understand the GPA on the 100 point scare but I think you’re on the right track. Test scores can make a huge difference. However, since WF doesn’t take test scores (test-optional), I would urge you to interview there. They are big on interviews and I think it could really help. Best of luck!</p>

6

<p>Where did you read that Wake Forest doesn’t take test scores…</p>

7

<p>I don’t know those colleges very well, but you seem to have a good resume. I would say you have a good chance of getting in. I mean, some people w/ resume’s similar to your’s end up at Ivies, so I think you’ll have a good chance at less prominently good schools.</p>

<p>However, if you can, I would try and raise your scores up a bit. They seem satisfactory, but a little higher scores could raise your chances.</p>

<p>I think you’d get in to most of them!</p>

<p>Chance me for Harvard, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Yale, Columbia, Brown, NYU, Rochester, Boston University and Fordham( well I don’t have test results yet but based on this material…):</p>

APs: Biology and US History I; Senior Year course load: French V AP, Art History AP, and US Gov and Politics AP, and maybe English AP</p>

<p>oh yea, I AM taking Calculus, but at the HH level</p>

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>It is hard to give you a good chance without a test score, but your GPA is great, you have a boatload of EC’s, and a solid hook, so with a good test score you have a chance at all of those schools.</p>

10

<p>dude. your a tank…besides for your not superior SAT and ACT score, everything else is Flawless perfection</p>

11

<p>Thanks man haha, if you think im a tank, just wait til you see everyone else here haha</p>

12

<p>looks pretty good! if you could get your SAT up 100 points, I think that would solidify your chances even further. as someone mentioned earlier, USC can seem kind of random, but other than that, I think you’ve got a pretty good chance at all of those schools.</p>

<p>chance me back?

<p>(m+cr) = 1300</p>

<p>USC, Tulane may be slight reaches, but you will probably get in everywhere else. GPA is great, but I think you really need to get that SAT up to 2000+ for USC or Tulane. Your sports related ECs are highly impressive, but maybe you could have some more non-sports related activities?? Either way, your ECs are good, so I wouldn’t worry too much about that.
Chance me back please! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1372710-chance-me-emory-ed-1-please-recommend-other-schools.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1372710-chance-me-emory-ed-1-please-recommend-other-schools.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Most of the schools on your list shouldn’t be too hard to get into as long as you write solid essays and have good-great teacher recommendations. Nothing is guaranteed however. Raising your SAT score would probably be the best thing for you right now, as well as adding a few 5s or 4s to your AP Exam scores. If you could check me out for Dartmouth and Brown, that would be great.</p>

16

<p>I would say good chances-in at all (especially thinking GWU), except for USC which is a reach. But most definitely try it, maybe raise test scores a little more for USC. Other than that you’re in good shape.</p>

<p>List updated at around post 43</p>

<p>You have a really great application!
However, consider taking the SAT again in October to raise your scores a bit, they’re lower at the moment and that’s hurting your otherwise great application.
Good luck!</p>
