Chance me for LACs!! High SAT/Mediocre GPA

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello! I am currently a high school junior and I'm beginning to start my college search. I am incredibly articulate and (not to sound cocky) adults generally love me because I am well spoken.</p>

<p>I'm considering small LACs in the mid-atlantic, new england, and the mid-west.</p>

<p>I go to a fairly prestigious small academic magnet (with about a 10% acceptance rate) in a large city (in the top 5 in the US). My school grades on the 5's (so we can only earn a 65, 75, 85, or 95) </p>

<p>GPA: 3.5 uw, 3.62 w (the highest possible GPA at my school is a 3.88)
PSAT: 210 (which is like a 2100 SAT)</p>

<p>My school doesn't offer any AP's or honors courses. I take all of the hardest classes available to me. </p>

<p>I am on the debate team, and I am ranked the top debater in my city. I was eligible to compete in the national forensic lead national tournament but due to budgetary constraints I was unable to go. Hopefully I'll compete this year. </p>

<p>I am president of my schools Model UN club.</p>

<p>I am in my school's running club and I have run a marathon and will complete a second marathon this October.</p>

<p>I have been taking classes (for college credit) at a large university for a year, I have a 3.6 GPA there)</p>

<p>I have a job, but I only work for 7 hours on Sundays. </p>

<p>To be honest I'm not really worried about my essay and recommendations, I'm pretty sure they'll be great. </p>

<p>If a school requires an interview, I can say with a good amount of certainty that my interview will be fantastic. I'm articulate and good on my feet, so I make very good first impressions.</p>

<p>Please chance my for the following:
Oberlin College
Sarah Lawrence College
Hampshire College
Wesleyan University
Skidmore College
Vassar College
Eugene Lang College (The New School)
Bard College</p>

<p>Also I’m black!</p>

<p>you are legit, and with the minority status you are set almost anywhere. Vassar is probably the toughest on your list and i’d say you’ll get in for sure.</p>

<p>Oberlin College - Low match
Sarah Lawrence College - Safety (esp. if you write well)
Hampshire College - No basis, sorry.
Wesleyan University - high match
Skidmore College - Again, no basis.
Vassar College - mid-reach
The New School - low match
Bard College - mid-reach</p>

<p>You’ve done very well, and on top of it, you have minority status! I’d agree that you’ll get into these schools. Brush up your academics and reach for the sky. And get some scholarships too - you’ll need 'em for these schools.</p>

<p>Yeah. You’ll get in to all of these; LACs do tend to have holistic admissions but I think you’re exactly what they’re looking for. </p>

<p>Chance me back!</p>
