Chance me for Vandy, Duke, Chapel Hill.. I chance back

<p>Hi, I am a high school junior from Nebraska. I attend an all girls private school with the highest test scores in the state. We do not have class rank. I would describe my school as extremely competitive. The graduating class ACT average is usually at least a 28.</p>

<p>Chance me at the following schools, please? Duke, Vanderbilt, Tulane, University of North Carolina, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Washington University in St Louis, and University of Southern California</p>

<p>Grades: I've had a 4.0 all of high school.</p>

<p>Classes: I have taken the most challenging classes offered to me. By the time I graduate, I will have taken all of the AP courses my school offers (except calc 3). Religion, art, and PE are sadly required at my school.</p>

<p>Junior year:
Ap chemistry
Pre calc honors
American history honors- dual enrollment
American lit honors
Spanish IV - dual enrollment
Ap psychology
Weightlifting
Ethics</p>

<p>Predicted senior year schedule (I could take art/PE in the summer to get them done with):
Ap physics
Advanced anatomy and physiology
Ap stats
Ap calc
Ap Spanish
World religions
Honors us gov- dual enrollment and will take ap test
Ap English</p>

<p>At my school, we have awards called " prizes" for being the best in individual classes. I have received numerous prizes.</p>

<p>Testing: I will take both the ACT and SAT. I consider myself to be far above the average student in my class. Chance me as if I received a 33 on ACT. Also, I am great at standardized tests and will use this to my advantage.</p>

<p>EC:
I am on the leadership board of Caring for Africa, a club at my school that raises money to pay tuitions for girls in Uganda.
Ever since my freshman year I have worked with refugees and immigrants from around the world. Our group now has an official name and website. We continue to grow larger and larger. I am the coordinator for all children's activities & run a summer program. I also assist adults. These individuals have come from around the world. I will do this until I graduate high school.
Over 500 service hours.
Since I've spent so much time with immigrants and refugees, I am heading to Uganda for a service trip this summer.
Student ambassadors club
Exchange student
I work a part time job at a grocery store year around
I am a Spanish tutor
Since seventh grade I have been in a program at University of Nebraska-Medical Center for students who are interested in the medical field. This is my second year on the advisory board and I am the volunteer coordinator for all service activities.
I am also a member of a youth leadership program at creighton. Over 250 students applied and only 40 were accepted. This is my second year. Last year we focused on developing leadership skills. This year we are raising thousands of dollars to ameliorate neighborhoods in our city.
Attending sessions on emotionally intelligent leadership at my school
Exploration program at children's hospital
I also work in the biomedical science labs at Creighton University and take part in research projects. I am surrounded by post-doctoral fellows. These labs are part of the medical school. This is such an amazing experience. It will be my full time job in the summer.</p>

<p>Helping refugees and immigrants has become my passion. Service is my life and I plan to use my leadership skills and love of science to become a doctor and work solely overseas.</p>

<p>Please chance me, thank you so much.</p>

<p>Stats are pretty good, but the jury is still out on test scores. Don’t assume anything. ECs are thorough, but generic. </p>

<p>You should get into Chapel Hill. Duke and Vanderbilt, you are certainly qualified but don’t really have anything to make you unique.</p>

<p>Duke- Low reach
Vandy- High Match
Carolina- Low Match
Tulane- Low Match
UAB- Safety
WUSTL- Match
USC- Low Match/Safety</p>

<p>CHANCE BACK: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1609619-prediction-game-format.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1609619-prediction-game-format.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your perfect GPA and solid schedule senior year are strengths. Chapel Hill and Tulane I think are matches. It really is hard to judge without any standardized test scores. If I were you I would make another post once you have some scores so others will have a better idea of your stats. Duke is a reach, with competitive universities it is always hard to tell. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT WRITE YOUR ESSAY ABOUT YOUR MISSION TRIP. I’m so serious, unless you can put a VERY unique spin on it, your chance at Duke decreases a lot. I’m not familiar with the other schools but you seem like an overall strong applicant. Best of luck! </p>

<p>As long as your test score are good and your essays are very strong, you should get into all of your skills. Like the person above me said, make sure your essay is unique and memorable, it will help your chances. Keep up the high GPA. Your course load is very good. I don’t see any reason that you would be rejected as long as your test scores are good. </p>

<p>Chance me back please!</p>

<p>Duke- Low reach
Vandy- High Match
Carolina- Low Match (only because its very difficult OOS)
Tulane- Match
UAB- Safety
WUSTL- Match
USC- Safety
Interesting list you have. You may want to maybe just try your luck at maybe an Ivy or Stanford. I like how passionate you are in your EC’s.
