<p>Great teacher recs</p>
<p>Other than your SAT scores, your stats look great. A 1410 (They don’t count writing) is in the 25th percentile, so 75% of U of C students scored better than you did. I would highly recommend re-taking the SAT or taking the ACT to increase your chances. If you can do that you are golden. </p>
<p>I’m only saying this with your best interests. Good Luck!</p>
<p>subject scores just in:</p>
<p>690 US history; 700 math level 1; 720 literature</p>
<p>*do they care a lot that I took math level 1 rather than level 2?</p>
<p>Polyosophy, I checked it out and my CR and M scores are much higher than 25th percentile… I hope that’s correct, because I’m not planning on retaking.</p>
<p>You have a good shot. Really good EC’s. I see a lot of people on CC who are managers or assistant managers. How the heck does that happen? I know if I went somewhere and applied to be an assistant manager I would get laughed at :D. Did a family friend hook you up?</p>
<p>It’s a very small department. I started working there not as asst mgr but was promoted after a year. I was originally hooked up by a friend. Though the title is nice it doesn’t likely resemble a real asst mgr position elsewhere: I clean stuff and make sure two other kids clean stuff :)</p>
<p>what do you really think you could do more to have higher chances than anyone else? lol.</p>
<p>A few things don’t add up. How did the AP US History Student of the Year get a 690 on the SAT II and a 4 on the AP? This leads me to believe that either: 1) Your school is not competitive at all or 2) Your grades are inflated.</p>
<p>Your chances are fine, but this got me wondering.</p>
<p>“Pacific Northwest Ski Association Honor <strong><em>Role</em></strong> (2009)”</p>
<p>hopefully you spelled “roll” right on your app!!</p>
<p>Well my school’s not that competitive. We send maybe one (occasionally two) to an Ivy each year. </p>
<p>And as for the test scores, I’m not much of a test taker. I think my teacher gave me the award more for my passion for history and my insight in classwork rather than my ability to perform under pressure. </p>
<p>And yes trackgirl sadly I did spell “roll” wrong. Hopefully that won’t kill me. C’est la vie!</p>
