Hi CC, I’m a senior and looking at these colleges…here’s my current app. Any advice is appreciated!

GPA (weighted): 3.83
SAT: 1290 (600 Math, 690 English) - Not sending to Bowdoin
Race: Asian, Filipino

AP US History - 5
AP Language - 4
AP World History
AP Literature

My EC’s aren’t crazy…I swim competitively, volunteer at my church, work as a page in the library, compete in a speech club, charity work with NHS and I was class VP Sophomore year.

Thanks!

Do you need financial aid? This is much more important than the colleges lead on IMHO. My daughter got denied from Colby with 1450, her friend the year earlier got in with lower SAT and GPA but was full pay and is attending.

Colby is need-blind, so this couldn’t have played a factor. Perhaps her friend’s essays were better

Your scores make these all reaches IMHO. Maybe try the ACT ?

Lewsifr33, Colby is need aware, maybe you you do a little research before posting “alternative facts”

Add St Lawrence, St Bonaventure, Catholic University for safeties.
