Chance Me v2

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>This is my updated Chance thread with my updated list of colleges.</p>

<p>Currently a Junior</p>

<p>Stats:
African American
Highly Competitive Private School
GPA 3.2 UW (3.4-3.5 W), weighted grade will increase with AP's hopefully to about a 3.6-3.8
Also a very big upward trend from what was about a 2.5-2.7 freshmen year.
School doesn't rank also.</p>

<p>Classes (will only list science and math): all of this is on an honors tracks at my school which doesn't offer a ton of AP's and unlike public schools doesn't offer an honors class for most courses, but they would be by most other schools standards honors.
Freshmen: Algebra II and Honors Physics
Sophmore: Pre-Calculus and Chemistry
Junior: AP Calculus AB and AP Biology
Senior (most likely): AP Statistics/AP Calculus BC and AP Chemistry</p>

<p>SAT: 1850 first time (will be up to 2000-2200 by 2nd or 3rd time) also taking two subject test.</p>

<p>Will have 7/8 AP's by end of senior year. </p>

<p>EC's/Volunteering (~500 hours):
Marine Biology Club (9)
Futsal Club (10)
Soccer Team (JV 9,10 Varsity 10, 11)
Tennis Team (9)
Acolyting at Church (9,10,11)
Ushering at Church (11,12)
Appalachian Service Project (9,10,11,12)
Random Service Hours from small things
Vacation Bible School (9,10,11,12)
New Orleans Mission Trip
Stop Hunger Now Volunteer (11,12)
Also I will have an internship this summer at Stop Hunger Now.</p>

<p>I really enjoy Stop Hunger Now and will probably write one of the essays on my work with them as well as hopefully become an intern this summer and lead meal making events at a college or two for their event where they make a million meals with the combined work of volunteers from a few colleges. </p>

<p>I might have 1-3 other clubs, I just have to see what constitutes being part of a club since I have gone to sessions of other clubs. Also keep in mind my private school is small so creating clubs is very hard to do since common interest is so hard to come by.</p>

<p>Awards:
JV Soccer MVP (10)
World History Award (10)</p>

<p>I'm getting help with my Essays and they will be good.
Recommendations will be amazing with two coming from great teachers (one who attended Yale and has taught at multiple colleges) who both like me a lot. I also plan to get a recommendation from an organization called Stop Hunger Now where I volunteer. They send prepackaged meals to other countries where hunger is abundant.</p>

<p>Here are all the colleges including safety's, matches and reaches. Next to it I'm going to put what my college counselor told me would probably be the decision if my trend continues and SAT go up a bit.
Georgia Tech (high match/low reach)*apparently student in this years class got in with similar stats
Purdue (didn't ask her this one)
Richmond (didn't ask her this one)
William and Mary (didn't ask her this one)
Davidson (reach)
NC State (match)
Elon (match)
Appalachian State (safety in)</p>

<p>bored and bump</p>

<p>The URM status will help a lot. The only thing I'd suggest would be to get your SAT's up a bit more, which you're already planning on doing, so nothing new there. </p>

<p>Besides that, you have a very good chance at all your schools.</p>

4

<p>Yah my friends and I are always joking about how I should apply to Ivy's because I am a URM.</p>

5

<p>Also realistically I see my SAT score raising by about 150-200 with most of it coming from math and reading. Also GPA wise my GPA should raise by enough to show that the upward trend is continuing.</p>

<p>If it helps, I'll chance people back as long as they put the link to there chance thread in the post.</p>

<p>bumpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp</p>

<p>seriously good stuff
I say you're in- all schools</p>

<p>hey i saw ur post on the purdue link asking for a chance me</p>

<p>id say ur a match for purdue. i applied this year to the cs program with pretty much the same statistics. but dont be shocked if they ask for ur mid semester grades for next year. they asked me which i wasnt expecting and had pretty much all b's. so good luck if u decide to come to purdue</p>

11

<p>thanks that makes me really hopeful. Purdue looks like a great match for me on paper but if I get in I still need to visit to see if I can imagine 4 years there. More chances please people.</p>

<p>Purdue you're a great match for, as well as all the other colleges. You seem to be about their general target range for students. You aren't exactly an Intel winner (to be frank but that's stupid anyway because there's only one per year), but you are way up there! Not to mention the URM status helps as well. I think you're a shoo-in.
Good luck!</p>

<p>Don't worry I don't have my hopes that high. Right now Purdue is my 2nd to Gtech but I would be more then happy to go to Purdue if I don't get into Gtech. Only thing Tech has that Purdue doesn't is warmer weather and proximity to a relative. However I do like that west Lafayette looks like more of college town (at least online). I'm glad that many people think I will get into Purdue.</p>
