Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi</p>

<p>I'm looking at: Cornell, Brown, BU, NYU, Rochester, Williams, Carnegie, UVA, Tufts, UMass Amherst, WPI, Northeastern, UIUC. Looking to do something with math as of right now... Applying to the Arts and Sciences (Liberal Arts) colleges for most of these schools.</p>

<p>I attend a well-renowed, private Catholic HS in MA</p>

<p>3.7 GPA unweighted
2160 SAT - 690 CR, 720 MATH, 750 WRITING, 31 ACT - TAKING THE SAT ONCE MORE AND MY SECOND ACT RESULTS ARE YET TO BE DETERMINED</p>

<p>SAT SUBJECT TESTS:
750 MATH II
670 PHYSICS
660 US HISTORY</p>

<p>AP Scholar with Honor - 9 AP classes
National Honor Society
Honor Roll</p>

<p>Varsity Rower - Winner of a team trophy, a bronze medal, and a silver medal (Hoping this helps)
National Honor Society
Varsity Math Team
105 Hospital Volunteer Hours and another 20 from the Library
I work at Kumon - I have teaching/tutoring experience in Math and English
Investment Club -Co-Founder
Chess Club
I play guitar and piano
I raised money and participated in a Boston Heart Walk this fall
I attended a leadership institute, I led retreats for underclassmen and I helped incoming freshman adjust to life in HS</p>

<p>My writing skills are well above par; I've been told that my essay is very good so I'm not too worried about that aspect of my resume. I'm getting recommendations from my Calc teacher and a teacher of mine who was a BU Trustee Scholar.</p>

<p>I'm hoping my successes in crew and relatively solid test scores can help shadow my GPA a bit... Although I'll have taken 9 APs and this GPA is unweighted... I have a quirky essay that I think will be memorable to most. Likely not to receive financial aid...</p>

<p>carnegie is match, amherst low reach, williams & ivies reach (but still possible, so i would still apply to them), Tufts high match, NYU match, almost all of the rest are safeties. The GPA might be lower than average but that is partially made up for by the rigor, i believe. and some schools will put more weight on the essay and some schools will put less weight on the essay. The larger your sample size of schools, the higher likely probability you will get into a reach.</p>
