Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>i know chance threads are pretty pointless and i ruled out doing one, but i gave in. i'm looking for a bit of reassurance, i guess. maybe some other recommendations? </p>

<ul>
<li>female</li>
<li>URM (AA)</li>
<li>first-gen</li>
<li>low income</li>
<li>live in MO</li>
<li>30 ACT</li>
<li>from a private catholic girls school </li>
</ul>

<p>my school does grades weirdly; even regular classes have weighted grades, i think. anyway, freshman year i had a 3.53 and sophomore and junior years a 4.21. huge improvement. so, as of now, it's a 3.99 but will be way higher after this semester. </p>

<p>my ECs are pretty mediocre, but my essay helps explain why. i hate that i didn't get more involved, but i can't do anything about it now. my essay talks about how hard it was adjusting to a wealthy private school, how i developed social anxiety, and how i got past my low point and am super hopeful about the future. it's less corny than it sounds. high school was really hard. </p>

<p>here's my list: </p>

<p>-barnard
-boston college
-bryn mawr
-college of the holy cross
-macalester
-mount holyoke
-rhodes
-scripps
-smith
-wellesley </p>

<p>do you think i have a chance at any of these schools? i feel like my lack of significant ECs will kill me :(</p>

<p>If there’s one person to trust about chances on this forum, it’s Catria! (also realize that not everything’s a guarantee – Catria is very informed, though)</p>
