<p>I thought in another thread you said you had, like, 300/480/310 or something…</p>

<p>Anyway, uh, about your EC’s/Awards:</p>

<p>

  • not a big plus…it’s sort of expected that you have good grades.</p>

<p>

  • Anyone can participate. How did you do? </p>

<p>

  • not sure how important this is, but you listed it twice…</p>

<p>

  • this is just luck; it won’t help you into college.</p>

<p>

  • video game? </p>

<p>Schools:
Episcopal Divinity School - not familiar with this one
Weston Jesuit School of Theology - not familiar with this one either
Lesley University - or this one
Northwestern - reach
SUNY Farmingdale - high match
Swarthmore - reach
Davidson - not familiar</p>

<p>Thank you much! i think i got 50 or somthing on the AMC but i put it on i think. the school computer award is awarded to several top studnts at my shool. i won twice so i put on a twice i think
Yeah, i just start a halo club so will help my app and im president and secrtary? thank you!</p>

<p>lol @ president of Halo club</p>

<p>Can I join?</p>

<p>lol i think i would stand out more if im part of halo club because not a lot of applicants have something like that on there apps :slight_smile: thank you guys!</p>

<p>Well, frankly, your grades and scores aren’t nearly close enough to Northwestern, Swarthmore, or Davidson’s standards. I guess if you live in New York, you have a chance at the SUNY school. Your ECs are also kind of weak. I would not add Halo or Majora’s Mask as awards or ECs. Attending church every week is also something that isn’t particularly helpful to your application, unless you’re very active and involved in your church’s community. Sorry if I sound kind of assholish, and please don’t be offended…this is just my opinion. Best of luck.</p>

<p>hi thanks guys
i think im replacing davidson with oberlin and maybe williams or welesley
i just thot that it wold be unique to put in video games since i bet no body else would do it i think :slight_smile:
and i live in boston… is it harder for me to get in SUNY farmindale? thank you guys a lot :slight_smile: :):)</p>

<p>oh yeah and an update i got 530 on my new SAT II physics will that improve my chances? thanks guys for the hlep :)</p>

<p>oh yeah, i started another club (president) think i should put that in? :)</p>

<p>…you do know that Wellesley College is an all girls school right? ;)</p>

<p>The 530 will not help, that’s really low. I wouldn’t send your SAT IIs at all if you don’t have to. I don’t know much about the school’s you’ve chosen, but I do know that Swarthmore is virtually impossible, and Davidson is a huge reach. Williams is the Harvard of liberal arts schools. I wouldn’t apply there…</p>

<p>Have you thought about applying to Furman? It’s similar to Davidson, but less competitive. It’s nationally known, and definitely one of the best liberal arts schools in the country. I think it would be a high match/lower reach, but your chances of getting in are decent.</p>

<p>I think you may be kidding around, but in case you aren’t, or for the benefit of somebody else with similar stats, you need to get yourself a college guidebook and look at the grades and scores typical of students at the schools you are considering. Some of your choices are not realistic, including Northwestern, Swarthmore, Davidson, Oberlin, and Williams.
There are lots of colleges that will accept a person with stats like yours, but you need to do some research to find them. As for your ECs, I can see that you’re joking about some of them, but admissions committees may not find those kinds of jokes to be amusing.</p>

<p>damnnn i didt get in :(</p>

<p>oh well, its dowm to SUNY farmindale and wofford uni and i picked farmindale cuz its closer to home
question, are the girls at SUNY hotter or at wofford? thx guys and really appreicated it!</p>
