Chance me for questbridge

Paying for College Access Programs (Questbridge, Posse)
1

<p>My household income is about $35,000.
I'm a first generation african American.</p>

<p>Gpa: 4.14
SAT:
(I sent it to qb but I'm not sending it to colleges)
1880
SAT II:
(didn't send to qb and not sending to colleges)
US history - 680
Math I - 640
English Lit (taking it was a bad idea) - 580</p>

<p>ACT:
Composite - 30
(I sent it to questbridge but without the writing score because I took it three weeks ago so the writing score isn't available yet. im sending this score to colleges)</p>

<p>EC's:
Tennis captain. baritone saxophone player in band, pep band, marching band. Soprano in chorus. NHS member. Tri-m honor society president. French club president. Century club member.</p>

<p>There's more I put in my application but those are probably the most impressive ones I guess.</p>

<p>Essays: the biography one was kind of depressing but it had a happy, uplifting ending. I chose essay topic 1, and I talked about my discouragement with learning to play the saxophone. I had my English teacher read it and she loved it so it should be good.</p>

<p>I'm applying for the college match for brown, yale, dartmouth, and tufts (in that order)</p>

<p>Chance threads are an exercise in futility but going by the numbers, you look good. QB posts the profiles of finalists and matched students as well as acceptance information on their website. </p>

<p>If Brown is your clear first choice that list looks fine. If not, you might want to switch it and put Yale first; on the chance that you are matched with Yale, it’s non-binding so you would have the early acceptance guarantee, and also the chance to apply to another favorite school or two during RD if you chose and wanted to compare options. OTOH with your family income, your FA package is going to be the same at all those schools, match or not, you will have a reasonable student contribution which can be covered with work-study or a small outside scholarship.
Keep researching QB partner colleges; there are great schools you probably don’t know much, if anything, about! </p>
