I have taken five college classes at a community college.
The APs I have taken (and will take): Euro (score - 2), US (projected score - 4/5), Statistics (projected score - passing), Government, Econ, English Lit, maybe French (considering taking it at community college</p>
<p>I have a sort of "self-made man" background and many interesting life experiences for essays and interviews. I am Jewish. I have received principal's honor roll for two years. I am in the top 10% of my class.
Do I have ANY chance?</p>
<p>I can only speak to Vassar, Barnard, and Bryn Mawr (as those are the only ones I actually applied to from your list, and I don’t like to give advice where I’m not qualified, hahaha), but I would call the first two reaches and the last a match. My GPA, ACT, and SAT were all a bit higher than yours and I was rejected at Vassar, waitlisted at Barnard and accepted at Bryn. Your ECs, however, are better/more extensive than mine were. So my advice to you would be to write good essays, let your interest be known, and hope for the best.</p>
<p>Ahaha, wait. I lied! I applied to Rochester and Smith as well; I would be willing to call them matches but I’m not too sure. :3</p>
<p>In a similar situation as highhopes, but with lower GPA
I would like to go to Vassar, also considering Barnard, Scripps, Pepperdine, Boston U.
Also will be applying to Richmond, James Madison, George Mason (safety).
