Chance me please?

<p>Hello everybody,
As a long-time CC lurker, I wonder what you guys would say about my credentials.</p>

<p>Here goes:</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 unweighted, 4.58 weighted
Rank: 2/70
SAT: CR: 800 M: 690 (I know, I wish it was higher!) W:760 Essay: 10 (Nov. 6 scores not in yet)
ACT: 33 Composite (probably not sending)</p>

<p>I've taken/am taking all available honors/AP classes
AP: Biology (5) English Language (5) Music Theory (4)
SAT II: Biology 800, Lit 790</p>

<p>ACTIVITIES:
Color guard - (8-12) MVP, charter member and Senior captain (color guard is the flag team that performs with a marching band. I thought this activity was pretty unique and based one essay on it)
Beta club - (10-12) President (lots of responsibilities. My school has exactly three clubs)
Senior musical - (12) actor/set design
Homecoming committees - (9-12) float design, etc.
Art - self-taught, but I spend a lot of time on it and have won school/state level awards
I've also done freelance art as a part-time job for 4-5 years
I have other extracurriculars, but these are the big ones.</p>

<p>AWARDS: Nine valuable department awards (AP Biology award, etc.)
Third place in statewide biology competition
Various school/state art awards
Salem College Book Award
Furman Scholar
National Merit Commended
AP Scholar</p>

<p>COMMUNITY SERVICE: 400+ hours through church, school, and my own initiative.
Unpaid tutoring (lots).
Founded my own yearly service project.</p>

<p>ESSAYS: Excellent (highly skilled English teacher who really knows me thought they were fantastic and represented me well.)
RECS: Excellent </p>

<p>That's pretty much it.
Please chance me for:</p>

<p>Yale
Brown
UNC Chapel Hill (in-state)</p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Rank/GPA are good but your ECs don’t sound particularly impressive and your test scores will unfotuntately only be at around the median for Yale and Brown. Both of these schools will be reaches, but they are definitely possible. You are in at UNC</p>

<p>Thank you for the input! That was kind of the response I was expecting. I think I have a chance (unlike my guidance counselor, who gave me the “You’re applying where now?” look when I told him). </p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>
