Chance me? Please? (UCs, Stanford, Claremont Colleges)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Please chance me for UCLA, UC Davis, Stanford, Pomona, and Claremont McKenna?</p>

<p>ACT- 35 first time as a sophomore
SAT Superscore- 2330, individual scores of 2200 and 2230
White Caucasian female from an upper-middle class family of 4 in suburban Kansas City. </p>

<p>As a rising senior, I have a GPA of 4.52 and I am taking 4.5 weighted/AP classes next year. All As. APs are/will be English Lang and Comp, Lit, Calc BC, Stats, APUSH, Gov, and Bio. Also Multivariable Calc and Linear Algebra. All four years band and Spanish. Honors Pre-Calc and Chemistry sophomore year. Quest (gifted program) which I used to complete a lot of my district's stupid tech and practical arts credits needed for graduation.</p>

<p>I'm involved in a variety of things at school- band (highest ensemble and leadership team during marching band), Science Olympiad (basically the captain of the team, got us State victory and to Nationals), math league, NHS, SNHS, Hawk Leaders (helps out freshmen in the transition to high school).</p>

<p>Ranked 5 out of a class of 500. But hopefully that will go up by next year.</p>

<p>Outside of school I have been secretary of Kansas City's bicycle club for 3 years (completely adult organization) and I've done a lot of volunteering in connection to the cycling community, something I'm very passionate about..</p>

<p>I've never done any internships or summer camps because I spend my summers traveling, which I consider to be almost more important because I feel like that's taught me a lot about the real world. Will this be a problem?</p>

<p>I think you’re golden</p>

<p>For all of them?</p>

<p>Probably for the UCs, maybe CMC?
It seems like you’ve got a good shot at Stanford and Pomona, but nothings guaranteed with those colleges.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks, both of you! :slight_smile: Any more comments would definitely be welcome, constructive criticism, too… Stanford’s 7% really freaks me out but I guess it’s always worth a shot, and I don’t regret anything I’ve done in high school and wouldn’t change anything just to get in there!</p>

<p>It is scary to see those low acceptance rates but I still think you have a great shot at any school and you should apply no matter what</p>

<p>Scores are good, class rank is good, and location should work out to be in your advantage. But make sure you work hard on your essays.</p>
