<p>I'm not sure about most of the schools you are applying to but I'm assuming BU is your safety since it's at the bottom of your list and I can say with confidence that you will get in for sure! I'm also applying to BU. </p>

<p>Good luck!!</p>

<p>Chance me: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/429831-usc-umich-uf-uw.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/429831-usc-umich-uf-uw.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Hey man, I am totally unqualified to chance you, but you seem strong in all areas. Your list of schools seems well rounded, as well. Good luck!</p>

<p>In everywhere, but there may be a problem with Colgate and Cornell. Maybe if you apply ED to whichever you're more serious about going, then you definitly have a shot.</p>

<p>Okay, you promised to chance me too. Here are my stats.</p>

<p>I used the common application.
GPA - 87.5/100 unweighted. My school doesn't weigh averages.
ACT - 28 (<em>34 on the math and 10 on the essay</em>)</p>

<p>School does not rank.</p>

<p>I live in Long Island, New York.</p>

<p>1st American Generation college student (my mom didn't go to college and my father went to the University of Urmia)</p>

<p><em>Outstanding</em> reviews from every teacher/college alumni/relative I showed my personal essay to. I chose to write about an uplifting, feel-good essay on my coming-of-age as a 13 year old rather than a sob story. A Harvard graduate read it and told me it was "I love it. It is Outstanding...one in a million". Others have told me it is raw, real, heart-felt, captivating, very well written...</p>

<p>I went from an 85.5 average freshman year to a 93 average Junior year.</p>

<p>Junior Year Final grades:
Pre-Calc (Honors by Acceleration) - 97
English 11 - 90
U.S. History - 96
Chemistry - 90
Health 11 - 92
Physical Education - A
Math Lab - P ( Either Pass or No Pass)</p>

<p>I never got below a B in any class, and the lowest grade I've ever gotten in High School was an 80 in Cooking, which is what mainly brought my whole gpa down.</p>

<p>I did not apply for need-based financial aid.</p>

<p>Courses I'm taking this year and what my teachers tell me my grade is for 1st quarter (even though most of my schools don't factor in 1st quarter grades
AP Economics - B
Physical Education - A
AP Environmental - A
AP Calculus AB - C
Senior Seminar English - A
Senior Seminar Social Studies - A
Senior Seminar Business - A
Senior Seminar Art - A</p>

<p>I had no previous AP courses before this year. </p>

<p>Shelf books at the local library.</p>

<p>I'm Founder/President of the SAT/ACT club. </p>

<p>Group Leader of The Friendship Circle, an organization that helps support families of children with special needs</p>

<p>EMT volunteer at the local fire Department</p>

<p>Secretary of the Reaching Out (community service) club</p>

<p>A few other ECs</p>

<p>No sports</p>

<p>2 teacher recommendations, 1 recommendation from my boss at the library (she let me read it and it is outstanding), and 1 guidance counselor recommendation.</p>

<p>70 on my Hebrew Regents
94 on my English Regents
