Chance Me Please for MA & East Coast More Selective?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I would welcome all who want to chance me on more selective or match colleges and universities in Massachusetts (hopefully near Boston) and New England/East Coast schools. Traveling across country. Thank you!</p>

<p>High school senior
Public high school in Newsweek's Top 1200 (coming in around #400, competitive school in our state)
GPA=3.8 unweighted; GPA weighted 4.2
Top 10% of class
SAT (second try) = CR 580, Math 600, Writing 500
SAT (first try) = CR 560, Math 580, Writing 570
Will consider taking ACT</p>

<p>Undeclared major, but leaning toward science/health with eye toward pharmacy, or a political science major.</p>

<p>National Honor Society (2 years); freshman mentoring program (2 years); Women Scholars (3 years); community service (2 years); school newspaper (2 years); volunteer in political campaign (1 month so far).</p>

<p>Haven't been involved in more ECs (specifically frosh and soph years) due to family illness and resulting circumstances and responsibilities at home. No formal job experience outside babysitting for same reason. Will aggressively pursue "formal" summer employment.</p>

<p>AP History (A in course as soph; 1 on test=shocked)
AP Calculus (in progress)
AP Biology (in progress)
All Honors courses when offered in all other areas.
Currently taking English course at local CC.</p>

<p>Straight A's junior year and one semester soph year, no grades lower than B. Good recommendations.</p>

<p>Family has no college nest egg; need a good financial aid or scholarship package. Schools with reputation for low aid/scholarship resources would be financially unattainable.</p>

<p>Can you chance me please? I'll most likely stay in-state (across the country) where I have a good scholarship if I can't get into a more selective school mentioned above, but my dream would be to head East. </p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>do you care about size of school? any other criteria?</p>

<p>I prefer a moderately-sized to large school and would prefer not to go to a school with less than approximately 6,000 students, but will remain open on this issue. </p>

<p>I would also like the diversity of interacting with many students from out of state, in part because I'll be traveling across the country as well.</p>

<p>Academics and smaller classes are very important as well. I want to stretch myself, but also want to be matched appropriately. Great professors who are available to their students are also a strong draw.</p>

<p>Also, for whatever reason, my SAT writing scores don't seem to reflect my actual writing abilities. I expect that my college essays will be considered strong. </p>

<p>I'm looking for a traditional college campus feel as well. Again, if financial aid is dismal, I would unfortunately not be able to apply. </p>

<p>I hope this helps. Thank you!</p>

<p>I would look into college of the holy cross out in worcester MA. It's test optional so your SAT scores don't need to be considered and with your high gpa I'd say you'd have a decent shot</p>
