Chance me please.

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I go to a very rigorous private catholic high school in New York, that sends 100% of graduates to college every year, this year we have more than 20 going to top schools. I am taking the hardest courses available but my school offers no APs, or accelerated, everyone is on the same track, but we are on the same level as APs.</p>

<p>I had a 88.4 (88.8 without religion) freshman year, 88.0 ( 88.0 without religion) sophomore year, and a 93.4 (93.5 without religion) this year. So my three year average is a 89.93 with religion and a 90.1 without. Apparently secular schools recalculate GPAs without religion.</p>

<p>My ACT was a 28 (27-Eng, 28-Math, 29-Read, 26-Sci) Retaking in september
SAT was a 1720 (540-CR, 600-Math, 580-Wr) Retaking in Oct</p>

<p>My ECs: Assuming i take them all next year
4 years of social studies club
3 years of library service
2 years of Intramural officials club with Officer position
Volunteered for 8 hours at US Open for a group that raises money for 911 victims
Volunteering for almost 40 hours at my school this summer to help incoming freshman adjust at a summer program.
Going to Boys State in a few days
In NHS
Love to play golf but not a competitive level
Held down a job at a pool concession stand for 3 years now
Worked at a gym for two years during the school year</p>

<p>Good teacher recs
Class rank is unknown at this point.</p>

<p>The schools I'm looking at are:
Villanova EA (1st choice, i dont know if this is a legacy, but my aunt and uncle went there)
University of Chicago EA
Lafayette College
Bucknell
Manhattan College
University of Scranton
Boston Univeristy
Lehigh University
University of Delaware</p>

<p>Thanks alot if you help.</p>

<p>bump, anyone else want to add some insight?</p>

<p>I would say that you have some pretty solid ECs but your scores are low. You should have a good chance with a higher ACT/SAT score.</p>

<p>try to bring up your scores!! and see if you can find an extracurricular that you are really interested in, because a lot of the ones you listed seem to be general ECs that a lot of people have.
focus on your essays and i think you have a pretty decent chance at most of the schools, but like wc1229 mentioned, you need stronger SATs to get into chicago
good luck!!

<p>looks good, but for U Chicago, get your SAT score at least over 2000, over 2100 would be even better, you might also want to do some more honour societies if they’re available. EC’s though are pretty solid</p>

<p>You will be in at Scranton.</p>

<p>I’m going to be a senior next year and Villanova’s also my first choice…was wondering what my chances are of getting in/should I apply EA?</p>

<p>I have a 3.9 GPA
SAT: 1930 first time (will be retaking)
top 15% of my class
I will have taken 11 AP’s by the time i graduate (these include: world history, english language, human geography, macro-economics, statistics, u.s. history, calc ab/bc, english lit, art history, and environmental) and the rest are honors except for regular science classes my freshman and sophmore year
EC’s:
soccer-jv 1 year, varsity 3 and all year round on a club team.
Model UN all throughout hs
French Club
Piano for 9 years
I initiated a fundraiser for the Fisher House Foundation my junior year and raised money for this organization.
For the past year I also make food for my local Family Care every week.
I have work experience, I’ve been working at a Psychologist’s office doing filing and paperwork for the past 2 years. and for the past 6 months i’ve also worked at a local restaurant waitressing</p>

<p>I’m in national honor society, math honor society, and french honor society and i’ve also received an award honoring my scholarship and volunteering from St. Michael’s College</p>

<p>I’m going to have solid teacher rec’s and i’m a good writer so will hopefully have a good essay.</p>

<p>well your chances at chicago are slim but not that slim and villanova is a slight reach but because you go to such a good school your chances there arent that bad either
at all the other schools youre a pretty good match, definitely in at BU and delaware and Bucknell seems like exactly in your range</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK!</p>
