<p>Hi there, I'm a high school student about to start applying to colleges and I'm all in a fluster. I'm curious to see what my chances are. My "final" list is:</p>

UNC-Asheville
College of William and Mary
Kenyon College
Williams College
Claremont Mckenna College
Whitman College
Haverford College

<p>I guess I'll post my "stats". </p>

<p>Academic Awards:

<p>OH and I’ll chance anyone back.</p>

<p>Your GPA is very, very solid and the fact that you’re already enrolled in college classes is outstanding. Your EC’s are phenomenal, but also excessive- try to condense them down to what is the most important when you apply. Your SAT is weak for some of the schools you’re looking it. Overall, though, I would say that you’re a very strong candidate. I doubt that your SAT scores will bring you down much.</p>

<p>These are my speculations:
NC Florida- in
UNC Asheville- in
William and Mary- high match/low reach
Kenyon- low reach
Williams- Reach
Claremont- Reach
Whitman- In
Haverford- low match/reach
Dartmouth- Reach
Tufts- Reach
Middlebury- Reach</p>

<p>Keep in mind that the schools I listed as reaches are reaches for just about anyone</p>

<p>Chance me back for my list?

<p>Thanks. Yeah, I figured most of those “reach” schools are sort of a roll of the dice. Thanks for you input. :D</p>

5

<p>***Thanks for your input.</p>

<p>Your EC’s are amazing. I don’t know how a highschooler can do all of that along with keeping a 3.9 in all honors classes. I say your in at all except dartmouth and tufts, but you still have great chances there.</p>

7

<p>And ur a URM, which helps. Yah im not sure how you manage all of that stuff as a high schooler, let alone a normal human being!!! Your dual enrolled at college and hs, which is nuts. Btw, whats your senior schedule? And how much time a week do you devote to each of your EC’s? (hrs/week and wks/yr)</p>

8

<p>Oh well, uhm, I actually do have a life (sort of). I mean, I get 8 hours of sleep and all that. I generally spend 2 hours a day at Cross Country and Track (but the seasons are at different times, thankfully). I write whenever I can. I have a camera with me at all times so I guess for photography I’d say all day-erryday. Uhm. I volunteer on the weekends. I run everyday. And I work on my charity in waves (when we are about to have a shipment I go into hyper drive, but when we are just collecting gear it isn’t too insane). I actually thought my EC’s were the weaker part of my schedule. </p>

<p>Oh and my senior schedule is up there, but I’ll just put it down here, it’s pretty weird. </p>

<p>I am currently full time dual enrolled at the Harriet L Wilkes Honors College at Florida Atlantic University. My schedule is:
-Literature of War (200 level)
-World Politics (200 level)
-Interpretation of Fiction (100 level)
-Law and American Society (300 level)
-Microeconomics (200 level) </p>

<p>Next semester I am going to be taking (hopefully)
-Biological Principles or Chemical issues (both are 200 level)
-Postmodern Literature (300 level)
-US Government (100 level)
-Possibly Intermediate Spanish or Calculus I (both are 200 level)
-Russian History (200 level)</p>

<p>I figured Dartmouth was going to be tough (it’s my little Ivy Dreamie). Thank you for your opinions.</p>

<p>Honestly, I’m pretty sure you can get in at everywhere, considering your very solid GPA and the variety of your extracurriculars. Also, the amount of APs you’ve taken helps.</p>

<p>^Oh i thought you were taking high school classes and college classes. My bad.</p>

<p>I did that last year, but they wouldn’t let me this year. No problem. :D</p>
