<p>Just wondering what those of you out there think about my chances :)
I'm a high school junior looking to apply. </p>

<p>White / Male / Out-of-state, probably not applying for financial aid </p>

<p>GPA: 3.92 (W), 3.73 (UW)</p>

<p>Rank: School doesn't rank, but at least top 15%</p>

<p>SAT: 720 CR, 700 M, 680 W (2100)</p>

<p>ACT: Haven't received my results yet</p>

<p>SAT II: 720 Lit, 650 math 1, 640 US history (second two i probably wont submit)</p>

<p>APs: Jr. year - AP Lang, AP US H, Accel Latin (6th year course)
Sr. year - AP Lit, AP World H, AP Latin, AP Stats</p>

<p>Other senior year courses: Honors calc, honors physics, high-level band </p>

<p>Co-curriculars: Heavily invested in music and theater
In NHS, swim team, acapella, pep band, taking clarinet lessons, taking piano lessons, teaching clarinet lessons, tutoring, AFS</p>

<p>Honors / leadership:
Programs chair for Drama Club (9-10)
Secretary of Drama Club (10-12)
Officer for band (10-12)
NHS Secretary (11-12)
WordWright Challenge Champion (10)
School awards in band and english
International thespian society
Music awards / theater awards
Honor / high honor roll
Playing in Carnegie Hall / Strathmore Hall </p>

<p>Recs:</p>

<p>They'll be good, but not ground-breaking. From my English and Latin teachers who I have great relationships with and are classes I succeed in. Also getting one from my Drama Advisor that should be my strongest one, he knows me very well and thinks highly of me. Good relationship with my counselor. </p>

<p>Essay:</p>

<p>Probably my strong point, to be honest. My GPA isn't anything special, and I don't have any one detail on my app that will jump out instantly, but my essays should be pretty great. Writing and creativity are my strong suits. </p>

<p>You probably know they only fill their freshman with about 30% out of state students. You are a good candidate and if it’s your top choice I would recommend that you apply Early Decision. It is not a sure acceptance for anyone so you need to pick a couple of safety schools that you would be happy to attend. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks! Yeah, definitely. I’m seriously considering ED because i know this is somewhat of a reach. Thanks for the input though. </p>

<p>my son got in out of state ED with a similar background - higher gpa and a few more APs but fewer extracurriculars. I think you have a great chance ED or RD. Good luck!</p>
