<p>Annak, I think you have excellent chances at Rhodes. Don't know too much about Whitman and Pomona. Best of luck!</p>

<p>good chances. SAT is a drag on your application though.</p>

<p>yeah... i kind of gave up on the SATs after my score only raised 20 points the second time i took it. </p>

<p>i guess i just have to accept the fact that im not a 1500/1600 test taker lol.</p>

<p>Valedictorian at a large public hs looks really good: I'd say you're in all around.</p>

<p>;-)</p>

<p>I think you're a shoo-in at Whitman and Rhodes, but wonderful schools! Pomona, who knows? They only accepted about 18% of their applicants last year. Don't know much about its sister school, Claremont McKenna.</p>

<p>How many APs have you taken so far? If you've taken a rigorous 4-5 APs so far I think you have a good chance. Your EC's are fabulous, Ponoma just may need a touch more convincing.</p>
