chance me for georgetown, duke and boston college

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>alright, so I am a incoming high school senior, and the above schools are ones that I really like. I was planning on going early action to the mcdonough school of business at georgetown. I am also planning on going early action to duke, but I have yet to visit it. I was going to do the same thing to Boston College (early action that is), but I've heard that that is a significantly more competitive route, any thoughts?</p>

<p>hs gpa unweighted: 3.6
weighted: idk</p>

<p>SAT: cr:710 M:690 w:730
composite" 2160
this is a super score, I took it three times, if you want me to list all my results, just ask in the comments</p>

<p>SAT II
Math II : 690
Biology :680
French (with listening):780
US history :700</p>

<p>I took two AP's, US history and English Lit, but I haven't gotten the scores back yet</p>

<p>EC
I won the distinguished linguists award at my school
I was on the mocktrial team at my school sophmore and junior year, at the competition I won best witness twice
I was on the math league team and got a certificate of honor
I am currently helping a local company organize a fundraiser as an intern (more details if you want)
I am going to be doing a research project at Columbia University for three weeks
I have over six hundred community service hours at a camp that I have been attending for a very long time (since second grade as a camper, since ninth grade as a counselor, however, I didn't do it this summer because of the Columbia thingy)
I've done drama since eight grade, as an actor or backstage as a stage manager</p>

<p>hooks?
I don't really get this. But I'm white, and I'm from pennsylvania, but I was born in Montreal (canada) and am a duel citizen. I lived there for eight years, and I still speak french at home, its kind of a unfair advantage as far as french class goes.
I would chance you back but this is literally the first time I have been on this site, so I wont be much help</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>Just a head’s up, there’s no early action at Duke. Just early decision and regular decision.</p>

<p>well that sucks… thanks though!</p>

<p>Your unweighted is a little low for Georgetown and Duke. But your EC’s are strong, specifically your community service. Have you taken honors courses in addition to your AP’s?</p>

<p>Class rank? Your GPA would generally be considered low for all 3 schools (unless if that places you in the top 10% of your class). SAT is in good shape for BC, a little less than ideal for Georgetown, and puts Duke as a reach.</p>

<p>Duke - High reach
GTown - reach
BC - high match</p>

<p>The GPA is the only problem, unless it’s in top 5%. The SATs won’t hurt you they are good enough. Don’t stress over SATs I have seen so many kids get into top schools with lower SATs, unhooked. I wouldn’t call duke a high reach, it’s hard to predict so its a reach but you will be a competitive applicant no doubt there. I don’t think chance threads really help besides telling you whether your list is strong and if applying to the schools is worth while. In that light, you should have a couple safeties in there. Good luck!</p>
