<p>You have good ECs and a decent GPA but your ACT score is big fat no for a lot of your colleges. If you can raise it to 33+ or get a 2200+ on your SAT your chances are muuuccch better. I don’t know much about Missouri or Mizzou but as of now Stanford and UofC are high reaches and UCLA and Georgetown are reaches and GWU might even be a low reach. If you can get those scores then I’d say you’re at reach for Stanford/UofC low reach/high match for UCLA/Georgetown and match for GWU. Also, why did you do so many music oriented activities if you aren’t interested in music at all? I think you need to either explain it in your essays or take up some physics/poly sci ECs because right now your ECs show 0 interest in science.</p>

<p>Chance me?

<p>Since it looks like you are a MO resident as it stands now (barring some grievous misstep on your part) the state schools would have to take you (look into it, it’s a pretty good deal) so you have that, but the other schools… Well, you’ll need to raise those standardized test scores so that they’ll look at the other stuff. </p>

<p>Best of luck,
TM</p>

<p>I am extremely gifted in those areas. I want to pursue a career in law or science, however. I will most likely get an internship with a law firm this summer, HOPEFULLY go to ISEF with my physics project, I am not sure what else to do because my school has no debate team, or anything like that… Thanks for your input!</p>

<p>Oh and I just retook my ACT on Saturday. </p>

<p>@ThinkMarsupial yes, that’s what I’ve been told. Honestly my first choice is MU S & T, but I’m just freaking out because my lack of science worthy credits. However… their minimum accepted ACT score is a 25 (I believe). And with a ratio of man to woman 5:1 I’m sure they’d love to take another female in haha</p>
