Chance me!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi! I am a caucasian student from Maryland who really likes this school. My credentials are something like...</p>

<p><em>I plan to apply early decision after sending in videos of my soccer playing.</em></p>

<p>-GPA: 3.8 Unweighted (Top 10% of Class)
-SAT/ACT: Haven't taken yet. Based on my practice scores, it is safe to assume a 1900 on the SAT and a 30 on the ACT, possibly more.
-Sports: Soccer (All 4 years of varsity, and I'm a D1 recruit. Also the captain of the team with two awards [Bob Marley award and MVP.] I also play travel soccer above my age level with 2 state league titles and top scorer.) Tennis (All 4 years of varsity.) Football (2 years of varsity kicker.)
Activities: FBLA member (hoping to make it to nationals in an Economics tournament,) and Student Government Association Member.
Other Achievements: Won a video contest by the Council for Economic Education. Competition was called "What Should The Next President Do To Improve The Economy?" I earned:
-National Recognition
-Letter from Senator Ben Cardin
-Letter from Senator Barbara Mikulski
-Letter from Governor Martin O' Malley
-$500 Stipend for my teacher (which will earn me a gleaming letter of recommendation from her.)
-Letter from my County's Board of Education</p>

<p>I plan to study Economics, but if I am not interested in that, maybe do something like Neuroscience.</p>

<p>What are my chances? I'm also applying to:</p>

<p>-Claremont McKenna College
-Williams College
-Colorado College
-Pitzer College
-Kenyon College
-Occidental College
-Chapman University
-Lawrence University
-Allegheny College
-St. Johns College</p>

<p>^^^ If you have any insight on my chances at those schools please let me know!</p>

<p>Also, I have taken many AP classes, have 100+ service learning hours, will be joining national honor’s society, and have or will visit.</p>

<p>they’d be crazy if they didn’t take you lol, you’re in</p>

<p>But keep in mind they have D3 sports, so if you’re a D1 soccer player Chapman might not be the best for you. I also don’t think Neuroscience is their thing but yeah good luck! :)</p>

<p>With that SAT/ACT, your best bet is soccer–but serious recruits are usually tagged for ED…I’d get in touch ASAP and if you’re really a D1 recruit, that might be your in.</p>

5

<p>you should have already applied to AC … by now you could have received your acceptance letter together with a Trustees Scholarship.</p>

<p>Thanks marvin100!</p>

<p>@skippymanie: Thanks for the input. I personally don’t think I’m D1 material, upper level D2 AT BEST. I know I would be an asset to a D3 team, so I’d like to play D3 and excel academically. Thanks again!</p>

<p>Dude you just posted about passion v. Test scores at cmc. People gave you pretty good advice there. Regardless though, I was accepted this year to cmc and I would say a reach. Not to diminish your credentials, but I know many valedictorians with perfect sats that did numerous ecs get rejected, even from ED. Therefore I truly think it’s a reach for anyone… Excuse the typos this is from my phone.</p>

<p>I have an athlete friend who was accepted RD. Im sure you have a great chance, just talk to the coach as soon as you can.</p>

<p>If you’re not recruited for soccer, you have a very small chance with your current SAT and ACT scores.</p>

11

<p>@arcadia: I’m afraid you’re right :/, well I will try my best to get recruited!</p>

12

<p>Are you a male junior? I can’t tell. If you’re a girl, the D1 soccer thing could really help you if they want you. It’s unique they have a d1 women’s soccer team for such a small school. I mean it looks like you will be competitive at all of these schools but it’s hard to say without test scores. If you’re a junior, I’d definitely recommend taking the ACT or SAT at least once junior year.</p>

13

<p>Did you interview? Also, public or private school?</p>

14

<p>Public school, top 5% of all high schools in the nation according to US News and World Report. With an interview.</p>

15

<p>I am taking the SAT in January and ACT in February. I am a male, and hopefully I can gain admission to CC! Thanks!</p>

16

<p>Ohhhh I understand! Haha whoops. But anyway, I really love CMC and will apply early decision regardless. Thanks for the insight.</p>

<p>My guess about your chances: chance to good chance at all but Williams. I suspect your test scores, if as expected, will hurt you there. Very little chance at Williams.</p>
