Chance me please- Inexperienced sophomore

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I have a 3.39 GPA (but I'm only a sophomore, so it will hopefully go up). </p>

<p>So far I have been taking the most challenging courseload my school offers in all 5 of my core subject areas...
Freshman Year:
Geometry (I took Algebra in middle school)
Biology
Honors Global
Honors English
Italian 1</p>

<p>Sophomore Year:
Honors Trig
Chemistry
AP World History
Honors English
Italian</p>

<p>I just talked to my adviser and next year I will (probably) be taking:</p>

<p>Pre Calc
Physics
AP US History
AP English Comp
Honors Italian</p>

<p>I take the maximum number of electives my school offers. (I didn't include them because Im taking 6 elective classes and I don't want this to go on forever.</p>

<p>Last summer I had an internship and was offerred a position there again this summer. I am involved in my school's debate team (next year I'm going to be vice president), I'm a member of my school's Philosophy club and I particapate in the Relay for Life Organization. Outside of school I participate in a local chorus, a Guitar group and I take a dance class.</p>

<p>I'm a white female from San Francisco.
Please chance me for:
Bard
Bennington
Sarah Lawrence
Smith
NYU
Hampshire
Ithaca College
Vassar
Boston University
Emerson
Drew
Skidmore
Reed
Kenyon
Marlboro
Wesleyan</p>

<p>Even if you don't have time to write something detailed please just let me know if these schools seem like a reach, safety or just right for me... I'm very new to this process so if any of you could help me out by giving me a general idea of where I stand that would be incredible...</p>

<p>You’re certainly on the right track. Work on your gpa a little and make sure your SATs are within range and you should really be fine.</p>

<p>It’s a little early to chance you, but you’re on the right track! Make sure your SAT is good,.</p>

<p>Just a little side note: why are you taking pre-calc if you’re taking trig this year already? They’re essentially the same course. I went straight from Algebra 2/Trig to Calculus and no problems.</p>

<p>Chance me for Berkeley?

<p>^^ Same question. My school system goes Alg. 1 → Alg. 2 (has some trig) → Precal (has more trig) → Calc</p>

<p>Precal is a bit of a weird class at my school because first you basically do a semester of trig, then seemingly random stuff like probability and statistics. I really don’t see why you’d have to take that AND trig.</p>

<p>I think it’s a bit early to chance you; But you seem to be on the right track. Get those grades up! Frosh/Soph year are supposed to be GPA boosters, not lowerers (I don’t think that’s a word xD).</p>

<p>about how much do I need to raise my gpa for a shot at these places?</p>

<p>You don’t need to raise it for a “shot”, but anything at a 3.7+ unweighted looks pretty good.</p>
