Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>OK, here are my stats:</p>

<p>*Application plan: Early Decision 2 (rate ~50%)</p>

<p>*Scores:
GPA: 9.0/10.0 (really high in my country)
SAT: 2200 (710 CR, 780 M, 710 W)</p>

<p>*Honors: third and first prize in the Municipal Academic Competition, second prize in the National Academic Competition.</p>

<p>*Extracurricular activities: class representative for 3 years; organized many activities promoting interest in English; engaged in charity and environmental protection; volunteer for a local program to clean up streets, one cultural event; have had work experience as English tutor and vendor; a few talents such as guitar playing and craft making, etc.</p>

<p>*Essays: lots of cultural colors.</p>

<p>*Downside: I'm living with a single mother, father hasn't contacted the family for 3 years, which means no contribution. Therefore, I can only contribute as much as $6000/year :( I'm stressed out because of this, although Colgate states that they will meet full need.</p>

<p>Can anybody chance me??</p>

<p>Thank you. Now I do see how slim my chances are for Colgate. I’m also thinking of Franklin & Marshall, Trinity, Grinnell and Connecticut. With my stats, whrere do you think I should apply as a safer choice?</p>

<p>I will still apply to all of these colleges eventually, but I’m just worried about whether I will get in any of them :frowning: sometimes I just want to go nuts. My friends have the same stats but huge contribution.</p>

<p>Just curious, where do/did/will you go to college?</p>
