<p>Worked as an intern at city hall, 20 hours a week during the summer, redesigned city bus system, attended meetings, took calls etc.</p>

<p>I am white, male and from Maine. I'm not a legacy. I can be recruited at running for D3, but probably not D1. I will be undeclared, but I will send in the music supplement.</p>

<p>Can almost guarantee you’re into JHU. Don’t really know enough about the other ones, but I’d imagine that you have a good chance of getting into Penn/Brown and probably Columbia too since it’s ED.</p>

3

<p>For a lot of these schools, you have to take at least 2 Subject Tests. </p>

<p>I recommend not applying anywhere ED, as your GPA is a little on the low side, so it would be prudent to use high grades next semester to bump up your GPA. </p>

<p>Anyway…
Columbia: high reach
Brown: high reach
Penn: high reach
Bowdoin: low reach
Haverford: high match
Tufts: high match / low reach
Georgetown: high match / low reach
McGill: mid match
Northeastern: low match
John Hopkins: high match / low reach </p>

<p>Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Might also look at Holy Cross-great combination of academics and athletics. HC has lower level Div1 track program. Holy Cross has tremendous alumni network and very nice campus.</p>

5

<p>I have researched the standardized testing policies for all of these schools and subject tests are not required at any if the ACT is taken as well. At Georgetown and JHU, three subject tests are strongly recommended so I might as well take them anyway. And if I wait another semester and get all A’s, my unweighted GPA will only improve from 3.76 to 3.79. It should be known that my unweighted GPA excluding Freshman year is 4.0 and colleges should take that into account.</p>

<p>^Whoops, duh, I did know that :D</p>
