Chance me

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>This whole chancing thing is a little ridiculous, but I'm freaking out about UVA and would like the input of others. I'm a male from New York and I go to one of the best NY private schools. My school has a very good relationship with UVA, and last year 12 out of 25 applicants were admitted.</p>

<p>Sats:
1360 two part
2000 three part</p>

<p>Sat IIs:
U.S. History 1 = 720
Math 1 = 700</p>

<p>GPA: My average (93ish) equates to a 4.1 out of 4.0. GPA's in my school go over the norm of 4.0 because the academics are held in high regard by NY state. I don't want to sound stuck up, my school just has a good reputation.</p>

<p>Class Rank: 46 out of 421 (11th percentile)</p>

<p>Courses: My school doesn't have any AP or honors courses. All students graduate with an IB and take the same courses. That being said, before freshman year you take tests in science, math, and language. If you do well enough, you place out and take those classes with the grade above yours. I placed out in just math.
Freshman Year:
Geometry (87)
Earth Science (93)
English 1 (90)
History of Salvation I (97)
Spanish I (89)
Advanced Music (93)
World Regional Studies (97)
Gym (100)</p>

<p>Sophomore Year:
Spanish II (95)
History of Salvation II (94)
English II (91)
Trigonometry (91)
European History (93)
Biology (93)
Health (86, the final, worth half our final grade, was impossible. Almost 100 kids failed it)
Gym (100)</p>

<p>Junior Year:
Chemistry (92)
English III (96)
Spanish III (95)
American History I (92)
Christian Humanism (95)
Pre-Calc (91)
Art (93)
Gym (100)</p>

<p>Senior Year: All I have is progress grades
Calculus (B)
Spanish IV (A)
Physics (A)
American History II (A)
Christian Existentialism (A)
English IV (A)
Music History (P)
Gym (A)</p>

<p>Clubs:
Social Studies Club
Catholic League
Economics Club
Chess Club
Intramurals Officials Club
Student Government
Math Club</p>

<p>Sports:
4 year soccer player; 1 year captain</p>

<p>Volunteer Stuff:
Emmaus Apostolic Program (through my high school)
Just 4 Kicks: Program in my town where soccer players train kids with autism
Vacation Bible School at local church
Volunteered at soup kitchens and food pantries at two local churches</p>

<p>I'm also applying to the following, with my predictions as to what each school's decision will be:
Notre Dame- No
Lehigh- Yes
Northeastern- Yes
Suny geneseo- Yes
Suny binghamton- Yes
University of Maryland- Yes
Penn State (Schreyers Honor College)- Yes
Stevens Institute- Yes
U Del- Yes
RPI- Not too sure</p>

<p>Thanks for any input</p>

<p>I would recommend trying to raise your SATs if you want to have more options.</p>

<p>RPI/Stevens and maybe northeastern depending on the major…I wouldn’t count on getting in just yet. You’re average for these schools. Your SAT I and II scores aren’t anything special. You still have a decent shot, but I would call them a high match/low reach.</p>

<p>Thanks michael</p>

<p>Stevens and Northeastern are both big filter schools for my high school. I’m confident I’ll get into both, thanks though.</p>

<p>If you raise your SAT, you’re as good as into UVA.<br>
