Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am a junior and was wondering if you all could chance me for the following schools or any others that you think</p>

<p>Harvard
Stanford
Princeton
Michigan
Northwestern
William and Mary
University of Chicago</p>

<p>I have a un weighted 4.0 GPA with a weighted GPA of 4.80
I am first in my class with over 500 other students
Sophomore Year I took AP US History (5 on exam) AP World History (5 on exam) AP Spanish 5 (5 on exam) and AP Calculus AB (5 on exam)
This year as a junior I am taking AP Calculus BC, AP Literature Year 1, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Euro, and AP Spanish 6
I recently took the ACT and SAT and for the ACT I got a composite score of 36 and for my SAT I got 800 on math, 800 on reading, and 790 on critical writing.</p>

<p>Extracurricular Activities:
3 years as Student Government Officer and was recently elected President for next year
3 years on Speech Team and 2 time state champion in OI and in DP
3 years in Theatre where I played Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, Tony in West Side, and will be playing Erik in Phantom of the Opera this year
3 years varsity football starting the last 2 years
NHS Tutor
Saint Mary's Scholar Class of 2015 President (Top 30 GPAs in grade are invited to join)

President of Student Ambassador Program
For volunteering I have worked over 300 hours the past three years at a hospital, summer camp for disadvantaged children, and at a retirement center
I have also interned at the office of my mayor, and at the offices of a small law firm</p>

<p>Awards:
As both a freshmen and sophomore I won my school's award for Outstanding Academic Accomplishments, Class Leadership Award, Outstanding Service to School and Community, and the Most Outstanding Student Award (given to only one student in the entire school). </p>

<p>So if you could chance me that would be great and I will chance back! </p>

<p>Harvard - reach
Stanford - reach
Princeton - reach
Michigan - match
Northwestern - high match
William and Mary - match
University of Chicago - low reach (but if you’re essays are good I’d say you are probably in) ;D Best of Luck!</p>

<p>@pieguy321 would you mind explaining how to came to those decisions? </p>

<p>are u asian?</p>

<p>no I am Caucasian </p>

<p>I don’t think saying reach, match, etc. is fair. There schools are IVY LEAGUE. Obviously, mind my language, it’s a crap shoot. But you have a great chance at all the Ivy league/Stanford schools. If I had to guess, if you apply to all of them, you’re bound to be accepted at one-two. I wouldn’t count on more than that, though. It’s just SO difficult.</p>

<p>@jr2015br is it simply an issue with where I’m applying? I just want to know what I could do from a ec, gpa, etc… to improve my chances?</p>

<p>You can’t improve. Your EC activities have been established by now, you should NOT pad. That’d be awful. Your EC activities, I mean, they’re good, for sure. However, they didn’t really wow/impress me. Lucky for you (well not LUCKY, but you get the gist), your GPA and scores are going to save you. If I were you, I’d apply to one of the Ivy schools (assuming this is where you want to go) EARLY. Preferably, one with a (relatively) higher acceptance rate like Cornell. At this point, I wouldn’t worry. With your GPA and test scores, everywhere is a possibility.</p>
