I believe you have a very high chance of getting accepted! I’m applying this month, but my extracurriculars are nowhere near as good still slightly hopeful though. Good luck with the math section! I’m sure you’ll do great!
You look extremely strong… The only thing that I can see is your test scores as many have previously stated. Get those scores up to 2200+ and you will be a competitive candidate at almost all colleges.
Best of luck in your admissions, @amanda9077 ! I’m sure you’ll do great!
You’re in, you made it!!! (knock on wood) just work on that sat math, as everyone has said, and really focus on how your ecs – they’re very clear abt your interests
I was born in ct – go huskies!! best of luck
Man, I wish! Thanks @soofthealoof
Great EC’s as mentioned before, i think you’ll be fine even with your current math score.
If anyone could chance me as well it would be great!

Thanks @ThatGuy1998. I’d say Georgetown SFS is a match or low reach for you. Your scores are in range but only average (for the school, they are great scores overall!) Extracurriculars look great, but I hope you’ll be able to talk about what you do specifically for all those acronyms (all I recognize is NHS ). Good luck!
Honestly the only flaw I can see with your application is your SAT score, which you have plenty of time to get up. Otherwise, you have an extremely solid application and stand a great chance of getting accepted. Nice work!
Chance me back? : http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1838110-chance-me-for-ucs-stanford-cornell-cmu-uva-cal-poly-slo-duke-ill-chance-back.html#latest
I’d say you have a really god chance! Only thing I’d work on is your SAT math, but congrats on everything else. Your stats look great
Thanks, @Inthegrid. I hope so!
Bump, anyone?
Any takers? I will chance back!
Scores and EC’s aside (which, needless to say, are incredible), I really like the way your personality shows through your writing. I think that you’ll be able to write fantastic and personal essays.
@addalinemore Thank you so much Addaline!
Do you have any further knowledge on Barnard in particular, or just a general admissions feel (because I know they do press the importance of supplements)?
(In their tours and application materials, at least)
@collegegal1313 I try, but I’ll a stroke of luck in the math department first
Any and all perspectives welcome! I will chance/answer back quickly!
As you all can see, I’m procrastinating on my SAT online course. If you have any questions about PrepScholar I’d be happy to indulge you.
