Chance me: I really need your help!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi! I am going to be a senior at a public high school this fall and am freaking out about all the college business. I am the oldest child in my family so my parents haven't yet been through the process, and we all have no idea as to what to expect. As a result I really need help to see where I stand.</p>

<p>My stats are as follows:</p>

<p>Academics:
GPA: 4.0 unweighted
Top 5% of my class
By graduation I will have taken 7 APs. At the moment I have these results in:
AP Language: 4
AP US History: 3
AP Biology: 4
SAT: CR 650, M 670, W 730
ACT: 30 composite (31 Reading, 32 English, 30 Math, 28 Science--11 on Writing)
SAT II: BIO: 700, LIT: 670, going to take US History in the fall.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Civil Rights Team: Student Advisor (equivalent to president)
Student Gov't: Homeroom Rep. and School Board Rep.
Interact Club: Active member and community service volunteer
National Honor Society Member
French World Language Honor Society
Also, my mother and I organize and coordinate the local Meals on Wheels program outside of school.</p>

<p>Awards:
Williams College Book Award
Several student of the months awards
Student of the Year in English and Psychology</p>

<p>Athletics:
I am a nationally competitive equestrian. I ride and compete in the hunter/jumper discipline. Even during the school year I ride a minimum of 20 hours a week. In the summer, I am away at competitions nearly every other weekend. I am very involved and have won several awards. Though it is not a varsity sport at my school, my independent interest in riding requires both time and focus.</p>

<p>So, that is me in a nutshell. I know that my standardized test scores aren't anything to be proud of, but I just don't think that that is my strong point. This is where I need advice on whether or not the other aspects of my resume will do anything to improve my chances in applying.</p>

<p>Could you chance me at:</p>

<p>Brown University- planning to apply ED
Amherst College
Wesleyan University
Georgetown University
Skidmore College
The College of William and Mary (not a resident of Virginia)</p>

<p>If you are a nationally competitive equestrian, go to Brown ( or any of those colleges for that matter) and ask the coach for a signature to play for the respective school’s team. I would say you have good grades for an athlete.</p>

<p>Sadly, due to Title IX, riding is only a club sport for guys. As a result, any type of assistance I would get from my sport is really limited.</p>

4

<p>any other input?</p>

5

<p>I would say you will get into all except Brown is a toss up, you can’t predict the Ivy league schools.</p>

<p>Based on the information you have provided us with, I would say:
Brown University- reach
Amherst College- reach
Wesleyan University-high match
Georgetown University-high match
Skidmore College-match
The College of William and Mary- high match</p>

<p>Do you plan on retaking the SAT? If yes, I would try to get it up to at least a 2100 for some of your reaches. Good luck!</p>
