1

<p>So I stumbled upon this board today and I would first like to say that everyone asking to be chanced seems to be very accomplished, so good job on that everybody! :) I certainly try very hard at everything I do, so please chance me honestly and I will do the same for you. Okay, so, here goes...</p>

SAT: 620 M 620 CR 600 W (1240/1840) plan to retake
SAT II: Biology M: 670 USHistory: 570
APs: Took APUSH and Biology, waiting on scores... most likely a 4 and 3, respectively.

<p>EC's in school: SADD club secretary, president of Self Defense Club, member of Key Club, member of yearbook club, member of model UN, member of interact club</p>

<p>EC's out of school: formally trained in dance, been taking classes (10+ hours a week) at a studio (ballet, jazz, contemporary, modern..etc.) also help student teach a couple of younger classes, in addition to helping out the studio (cleaning..office); volunteer at hospital, have since 9th grade, 2 hours a week in health info management department, also worked in dietary department; various babysitting jobs; attended National Youth Leadership Forum on medicine summer of 2008; participated in Youth Honor Day 2009, shadowed health director; went with Model UN to Panama mission in NYC; currently play piano; more trips that I cannot remember..</p>

<p>I don't if it will matter, but I would be the first of my family to attend a 4 year college, my dad didn't graduate HS and mother has Associates degree</p>

<p>I plan to get a letter of recommendation from my a biology teacher that I have known for a while and nominated me for NYLF, hope it will have impact (will be other letters)</p>

<p>Also, I think I will write an essay about how the economy has impacted my life, seeing as my father is a car dealer for GM, and they have recently fallen under, and my family has taken some of the heat...it has been difficult lately</p>

<p>Phew... okay so here is the list, I am just beginning my college search (will enter 2010)and would love some feedback! :) </p>

<p>Most of those on your list I think you should be able to get into!</p>

<p>I’ll speak to the ones I know the best:</p>

<p>University of Miami - in/match
Ithaca College - in, easily
New York University - reach
Johns Hopkins University - reach</p>

<p>From what I know of the rest, you should be fine. And you would have a fairly good shot at NYU and Hopkins. </p>

<p>Chance back?: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/741629-chance-improvements-2011-urm.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/741629-chance-improvements-2011-urm.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>thanks everyone! and I think what’s really holding me back are test scores, do you guys think I should submit my SAT’s or ACT’s (without retaking)? </p>

<p>thanks! any more opinions? I chanceeee back!</p>

11

<p>i would say johns hopkins and nyu are your only reaches, otherwise you are all set for those schools</p>

12

<p>looks good. thanks for chancing me.</p>

<p>I think all of them are matches or safeties except for NYU and JHU (which are low reach and reach, respectively.)</p>

13

<p>Boston University- low match
Florida State University- low match
Northeastern University- in
George Washington University- match
New York University- low reach
SUNY Stony Brook- match
Syracuse University- in
University of Rhode Island- in
Johns Hopkins University- reach (but only because of SAT’s)</p>

<p>Sorry I don’t know anything about the others haha. Where will you be applying early? Because that can have a big impact on admission.</p>

<p>Chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/739609-barack-obama-says-chance-me-yale-scea.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/739609-barack-obama-says-chance-me-yale-scea.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

14

<p>idk, when and when not should I apply early? I don’t really understand… thanks for the input everyone :)</p>

15

<p>I think NYU, JHU, and PSU OOS are your only real possible reaches, the rest seem like matches and safeties. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Chance me? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/739446-chances-colgate-nd-bc.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/739446-chances-colgate-nd-bc.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

16

<p>NYU and Johns Hopkins seem like they might be higher reach than the others.</p>

17

<p>Adelphi University - In/Match
Marist College - In/Match
Providence College - In/Match
University of Connecticut - In/Match
Penn State- University Park - Maybe, Low Reach
University of Miami - Low Reach
Boston University - In/Very Low Reach
Florida State University - In/Match
Northeastern University - Reach
Ithaca College - Low Reach
George Washington University
New York University - IN( NYU IS NOT STRICT AT ALL; Almost everyone who applied to NYU in my school got in)
Quinnipiac University - In/Match

<p>I think you’re generally, pretty set. You have a strong resume and high grades. You have good SAT scores (like me, it can be better) and your GPA isn’t bad. You obviously very smart to take all the L4 classes. That is impressive. Overall, your a good match. I won’t be suprised if you get accepted into 95% of the schools. Good Luck</p>
