<p>I know it's annoying when people post these "Chance me" threads, but oh well...
I'm applying to many top liberal arts colleges and a few ivies such as Yale, Brown, Wesleyan, Trinity, etc. and wanted to know if there was even a chance.
GPA: 4.7-ish?
Class Rank: 11th percentile (My school is 4th in the state)
Curriculum Rigor: All IB classes
ACT: 33 (36 Reading, 34 English, 33 Science, 27 Math)
Extracurriculars: a TON. I don't want to list them all here, but I have several long term activities, leadership, community service, etc. My ECs should be excellent.
Work Experience: 25 hours a week at same job for 2 years (since age 14), summer jobs before age 14
Location: Midwest
Hooks: Extremely low-income, 1st generation college
Teacher Recommendations should be excellent.
If there is anything I forgot to list, let me know! I have just been extremely stressed out as far as college apps go and am wondering if there is any point in getting my hopes up what with this atrocious class rank. Thanks all!</p>
<p>Even Yale seems reachable and it’s one of the few schools on your list where asking for FA is not a factor (if you get into Yale, you’ll get a full-ride)</p>
<p>You really should list your top ECs.
What is your UW GPA?
That Math is low. I know good schools pay attention to that score in particular. But your good scores in the other 3 almost compensate.
Not knowing your ECs make it hard
but I think GPA and SAT wise you really have a good shot.
Once you get past that bridge it’s all ECs.
Good luck!</p>
