<p>Hey everyone,
Im hoping some of you can chance me at some of the schools below. Also, if you have any schools youd like to recommend, feel free to do so! Im posting my stats and some info about what Im looking for below.</p>
<p>White Female from Northeast, interested in the social sciences/humanities
GPA- 3.83/4 UW 4.88ish W
Rank- 6/210
ACT- 31 (Im retaking this Saturday and expecting a 32
if I am incredibly lucky, a 33)
Courses- All honors or AP except for required electives. Ill graduate with 8 APs which is a lot for my school
ECs- I think Im fairly solid in this area. I wont bore you with a list but I have one large passion that comes across in my application, Im involved with sports and serve as my teams captain, I hold a few steady leadership positions around school, Im very involved in community service, and Ive worked year round since freshman year
etc. etc. I dont have any extraordinary ECs but I wouldnt say Im lacking ECs either. Id say Im pretty involved.
Recommendations- I havent read either, but one of the teachers who wrote mine told me that he wrote a really great letter and said that it was one of his easiest recommendations to write. Im a little worried about the other though because though Im not extremely quiet, I wasnt incredibly active in conversation and participation in my other recommenders class. I know the teacher likes me as a person and thinks Im a strong writer (English teacher), but Im worried he might label me as not being actively involved in class discussions. : (</p>
<p>Colleges:
Brandeis
Boston College
Carnegie Mellon University
Villanova
Tufts
Hopkins
American</p>
<p>My ideal school would be:
-between 3500 and 7000 students
-in the northeast
-have a somewhat quirky student body
diversity in the way people dress/talk/act
but Im not looking for a super artsy or hippy school either
I just want a school with down to earth kids where not everyone is crazy into the party scene
-not much in the way of greek life, or a very non-stereotypical greek life
-a fairly good reputation academically</p>
<p>So what do you think my chances are at the schools I have listed (it is not a complete list of the schools Im applying to)? Do you think any of them at least somewhat match my ideal criteria? Can you think of any schools that match my criteria better?</p>
