Chance me please? I'll chance back!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>GPA: 4.7. My school uses a weird scale, but I'm at the top third percent of my class in an EXTREMELY competitive high school (the person ranked above me has a 4.701)
I've gotten really good grades, have always taken all honors and AP's, and have only getting a couple B+'s.</p>

<p>My test scores, however, are average. I got a 2080/2400 and a 1350/1600. I realize this will not work in my favor. I did take the ACT in December, and only got a 30 because science brought me down. My sub-sections where
M 32
R 33
E 31
S 25</p>

<p>My ec's are pretty strong. I play two instruments (one for ten years and the other for eight). I am the concertmaster of an orchestra, am in a band in school, and an additional musical group outside of school. I play for the elderly regularly and take private lessons. i am sending music supplements in, although I do not want to major in music. Additionally I have interned over the past two summers, I am an active participant in seven clubs, I am in the Drama Club, and I am on mock trial. I have started two giant community service projects (one where I raised money/got a company to donate teddy bears to children in a Pediatric Ward). </p>

<p>I am also partially Hispanic (indicated on my common app)</p>

<p>My dream schools are Vassar, BC, Wesleyan and Colgate.</p>

<p>Do I have a chance at any of them?</p>

<p>anyone? please?</p>

<p>im here for you</p>

<p>You can definitely get in. Nowadays, colleges don’t just focus on scores… They like to see a bigger picture. My scores were not up to what a “typical” ivy student receives, yet Columbia accepted me. </p>

<p>If you show the schools how passionate you are of what you want and the school itself, you’ll be a pretty strong applicant.</p>

<p>What were your scores @overachiever?</p>

<p>You’ll so fine OP. You have a good chance</p>

6

<p>If your EC’s are as good as you say I’d say a low match. If you raised your test scores I would feel a lot better saying match for all.</p>

<p>thanks! I’m a senior, so I can’t take any more tests</p>

<p>I’m also in NHS, Spanish Honor Society, Math honor society, and I tutor.
I’m not looking to get into any Ivy league schools, so I’m hoping I have a shot. Vassar is my biggest reach probably</p>

<p>i say you have a good chance as long as your essays are good</p>

<p>I don’t know much about any of those schools except BC, but it sounds like you’re a good candidate for any competitive school. Good luck!!!</p>
