<p>Sorry if i can only comment on a few schools…overall your gpa is alright, the upward trend will help. your SAT’s are very competitive for the schools you are applying to.</p>
<p>-Colby - high match
-Bates - high match
-Boston College - low reach
-Conn Coll - high match/match
-Trinity - match</p>
<p>Write a great essay, maybe explain a difficulty you had to overcome (which may explain the lowish GPA). </p>
<p>Chance back?

<p>I chanced you back; thanks!</p>
<p>I think you have a great shot of getting into Colgate ED… and I would bet you’ll get into Nova. I don’t know about Elon, Bates, Colby, Richmond or Vanderbilt, but I think you have a really good shot at Bucknell, but only if you demonstrate interest. Interest is a huge factor at Bucknell. Try to visit. Contact admissions. Make it known that you WANT to be at Bucknell. I think you have a really good shot at BC… but I’m curious what your UW GPA is… that could change things… I think you’ll get into Connecticut College and Trinity, and WashU is a reach, but I mean, it’s WashU, it’s going to be a reach for everyone. Your GPA is probably what’s going to hurt you for WashU. WashU also seems very different from your other schools. What is it about WashU that you like? Your other schools are generally preppy, clean-cut, big into sports schools. I guess WashU sort of fits that, but I think of WashU as a bit quirkier and more diverse than the other schools on your list like Nova, BC, Colgate and Bucknell in particular.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>Elon EA is a likely match (especially if you visited, showed interest). Good Luck</p>
<p>W-GPA is a little low but SAT and leadership positions / lots of community service will help a lot.</p>
<p>Colgate-match
Villanova-match
Elon-match (but make sure they know you are interested; last year a girl from my school applied with a 35 GPA and she didn’t get it because they knew it wasn’t her top choice)
Colby and Bates-I don’t know enough about
Boston College-low match
Connecticut College-match
Trinity-match
WashU-high reach
Bucknell-low match
Richmond-match
Vanderbilt-reach</p>
<p>Thank you to everyone who chanced me!
Hopeful_Underdog, I know that WashU isn’t a lot like any of the other schools on my list… It’s mainly only on my list because my cousin goes there and absolutely loves it, so she’s trying to get me to apply as well. I probably won’t end up actually applying there though (the other schools on my list are definites though).
Thanks again guys!</p>
