Chance?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello! This is my first and probably only post on College Confidential, but I have seen others who have asked to be "chanced" and I would love it if someone would assess my credentials. </p>

<p>I am applying to University of Maryland at College Park, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Brown, Cornell, Barnard College, Columbia University, Boston University, Georgetown University (EA), and New York University. </p>

<p>Here are my stats: </p>

<p>-Region: Western North Carolina
-SATs: 700 CR 700 W 650 M
-ACTs: 30 Composite-- 33 CR 30W 29M 27S
-GPA: 3.97 Unweighted
-APs: So my school does not offer very many APs, but I took AP Gov and AP Comp last year and scored fives on both exams. I am taking three AP classes this year: Calc AB, Lit, and Human Geography
-Rank: 3/277
-Extracurricular: JSA, Student Council, Class Officer, Girl Scouts, Key Club, City Youth Council, Beta Club, Environmental Club-- all of which I have held an officer position if applicable
-Job Experience: I have worked for a local art museum for three years<br>
-I have received numerous academic awards in English, History, Music, and Science<br>
-Legacy: I am a legacy at Cornell, Columbia, and Georgetown
-Obviously everyone will not be able to see my essays, but they are passionate and well written. </p>

<p>I would so appreciate it if someone would chance me for my schools, thanks!</p>

<p>UNC-CH is a match to safety in-state.
Maryland at College Park = Honors College offer likely, but do your parents have $40,000 out of pocket? (you wouldn’t qualify for merit, I think, and there’s no financial aid for OOS applicants)
Barnard College = reachable reach
Boston University = match
Brown, Cornell, Columbia University, Georgetown University (EA) = very big reaches, more unlikely than average despite legacy status. You may get into one of them, but don’t expect anything from this group. If you’re admitted, it’ll be a good surprise, if not, you’ll have tried.
New York University = academic match, but NYU is known for its lousy financial aid, so that you’d need at least 40,000 to be able to afford it.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice, especially about NYU and Barnard. I always knew that any ivy and Georgetown were really big reaches, but I was a little more unsure about those two. </p>
