<p>I’m guessing you’re emphasizing on swimming?</p>

3

<p>I think you have a good chance… High match, low reach</p>

<p>@swiftyfan13x Not too much. Just my ec essay and first on my activities chart. My whole app is not swimming based, for I am not applying to swim at Duke.</p>

5

<p>consider this a bump.</p>

6

<p>Low reach. You have solid stats but nothing is incredible. I rally hope you get in though! I would love to see you there next year. Thanks for chancing me!</p>

7

<p>Score wise everything looks great, ec’s seem a little weak but the swimming is good. Whats your prospective major?</p>

8

<p>Where do you go dude, I’m in Michigan and swim as well :slight_smile: I’ll probably see you during the season!</p>

<p>For your chancing, I’d say high match/low reach as well. That’s a great GPA and ACT score you’re boasting.</p>

<p>Very good chance! good luck.</p>

<p>wow those are some awesome ec’s i’d say, especially with the swimming and community service. not so sure about the academics because it seems like there aren’t too many ap’s and our school doesnt have IB so im not exactly sure what that is, although having 6 classes of those is pretty good! i’d say low reach especially with ed:) GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!</p>

11

<p>Your stats are wonderful, you have a great chance in getting in.
I feel like your Swimming counts as quality>quantity and should make up for other EC’s</p>

12

<p>I’d say low reach–GPA and scores are really solid, and the swimming emphasis seems like a pretty good angle. Despite not having many ECs, your swimming and MUN stand out, which is a big plus</p>

13

<p>Winning state champ for swimming definitely sets you apart from other applicants. I think you have a fine chance of getting in, especially if you’re applying ED.</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing me!</p>

<p>I think you have a solid shot, I’d say it’s a match if you apply ED. (Maybe a low reach for RD, it is for everybody) You have solid stats and are doing great in the involvement for swimming!</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

15

<p>You certainly have a chance, but I’m curious as to how you compare to other students at your school…</p>

16

<p>My school does not do any form of ranking or weighting</p>

17

<p>Your academics and scores are great! ECs may be weak, but swimming makes you unique. With ED, I think you have a good chance. I wish you the best of luck!</p>

18

<p>Low Reach, especially with ED and the above 25% acceptance</p>

19

<p>good luck!!</p>
