Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>So, recently I got into Loyola and Depaul, which made me very happy, but I got deferred Tulane, and so now I'm worried about the upper level schools I'm applying to and if i even have a chance at all. In my school system we have a lot of intelligent people, so i often feel inferior because I've only had classes with these gifted teens my entire life.</p>

<p>Gender:Female
Race:Caucasian
State:Indiana
Single Parent household
High School:Public, most highly acclaimed school in the area
Academic Honors Diploma path
Honor Roll every semester
No class rank</p>

<p>SAT: 2130 (680CR, 740 M, 710 W)
ACT: 33 (35 English, 34 Math, 31 Reading, 33 Science)
SATII:750 MathII, 740 US Hisotry, 590 Lit (ew)
AP: US History (4), Psychology (5)
Grades:3.5ish?UW/4.08W, pretty much have taken just about as many AP/Honors as possible at my school (3 freshman, 2 sophomore, 6 junior, 5 senior), 6 classes per year total</p>

<p>Extracurriculars(fun part):
Color Guard-4 years, took up most of my summers, captain 2.5 years, regionals 3 years, semi-state 1 year (30 hours a week for 16 weeks)
Theater-4 years, assistant stage manager 2 years, assitant director for 2 shows, acted in 4 shows, worked stage all other school shows, about 300+hours put in total so far
Academic Superbowl-4 years, a captain 10/11 (probably will be this year too), state runner up 1 year
Spell Bowl-(11/12) (only years it existed), state 2 years
DECA-(11/12), state 1 year (so far)
NHS-(11/12)
Some volunteering at Humane Society-(10,11,12)
Other less important clubs such as Spanish (9, 12) French (9, 12) German (12) Pep Band (9) Debate (9)
Assitance with family business over the summers</p>

<p>Essay: The great struggle of our marching band (color guard), from losers to winners over the course of only one year.</p>

<p>Future Chemistry Major
Schools I would like to know about: University of Chicago, NYU, UCB, UCLA, Northwestern, Columbia, Notre Dame, Yale
I know some of them are long-shots, but if i could have your advice, even on schools I would be a match for, i would appreciate it very much: ) And I'll try to chance you back, although I don't know if I'd be much help</p>

<p>You cannot use Tulane as a guide this year. It has almost nothing to do with stats, but instead with space limitations they have this year. So they put the brakes on very early, deferring students who always got EA offers in the past to RD. They are just afraid they will get another class of 1630 like the last one, when their goal this year is 1400. It all revolves around available dorm space. So don’t let the Tulane situation color your feelings. If you really want Tulane, let them know that.</p>

<p>BTW, I was a chem major at Tulane and got into a top 5 grad school.</p>
