Chance me?

<p>Clark is my first choice, I'm currently a junior and I don't have the best stats but here it goes:</p>

<p>GPA UW: 3.4 or 3.5;
3.7W
SAT: 1650 on my first try, expecting to bring it up to 1800.
All honors throughout HS except History and Math
Expecting to graduate with 5 APs, 1 college-level class: (Language, Psych, Lit, Environmental, GOPO Comparative, and college-level French)</p>

<p>Senior Courseload: AP Lit, Environmental, GOPO Comp, College French, ASL, Intro to Sociology, Treble Choir (one of the advanced choirs)</p>

<p>3 Community Theatre musicals (9, two leads in 10)
Drama Club (9, 10)
GSA (10)
Literary Magazine (10)
French Club (9, 10, 11, 12)
Music Council (9, 10, 11, 12)
Tri-M Music Honor Society (11, 12)
Part-time job (11, 12)
Writing Center Tutor (11, 12) (will probably have leadership position next year)</p>

<p>I'll be volunteering at a hospital over the summer and throughout next year, hopefully by the time I apply EA I'll have around 100 hours of community service between tutoring and volunteering. I stopped doing as many ECs in 11th grade due to having a job.</p>

<p>My essay is going to be about my battle with PTSD and how I came to my major based on the intellectualization of my illness and the subsequent recovery, how I used to host a very popular advice website, etc. I'm expecting very good recs from AP Lang and AP Psych teachers, and I'll be re-taking the SAT twice and taking the ACT in June.</p>

<p>I forgot to mention:</p>

<p>NYSSMA (9, 11, 12) Received A+ and A in 9, 11
SCMEA (10)</p>

<p>I think besides your SAT score, all of your stats are great! Clark is becoming SAT/ACT optional for this coming year of applications, so even if you can’t bring your SAT up to an 1800, then I’d say you still have a very good shot at getting into Clark. </p>

<p>If you really want to send in a good score, maybe take the ACT. I know many people who didn’t do as well as they thought they could on the SAT, but then did terrific on the ACT.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
