Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey guys,
So just found out that I'm deferred at BC, which I'm kinda mad about but eh.
I need some input as to my chances at other schools. here are my stats:</p>

<p>SAT:1310(660 M, 650 V) -is not having a strength really going to be bad for me?
SAT II: Math 1c - 700
Writing - 650
US History - 720(i'm happy. just went from a 580).
GPA/Average : 88. School doesn't do GPA. </p>

<p>I'm probably 30/100 at our school, very competitive catholic high school. But i'm jewish :) haha. </p>

<p>I had a couple of C's freshman year, but the upward trend on my transcript is very representative of my work. Went from a 83 Avg Frosh, 87 Sophomore, to 90 AVG Junior and 92 1st semester senior year. </p>

<p>I've always taken hard classes, excluding requirements like Latin and Religion.

<p>We are applying to similar schools (NYU, Brandeis, Georgetown, JHU)
Here are my stats, if interested- <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=18101%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=18101&lt;/a>
Georgetown deferred me EA, so I would not bank on this one.</p>

<p>Similar schools with very different stats hahaha. Our class is most likely the smartest our school's ever had though. Like we have 2 Harvard, 2 Stanford, 1 Yale, 5 Gtown, and probably plenty other I'm just not sure about. But hey so what do you think about my chances? Is it basically like 40%ish for most of them?</p>

<p>To be honest, I have no idea. I've never applied to colleges before either :]
I'm surprised that BC deferred you, though.</p>

<p>Georgetown never takes kids from our school. I'm starting to get the feeling that I've gone to crap school for four years and just didn't know it.</p>

<p>Yea but you have really great scores, SAT and Grade-wise. Our school sorta has an unfair advantage at Georgetown because we used to be the same school. Georgetown Prep, as we call it now, since 1915ish when the lower schools broke off from the actual university campus in Georgetown. But don't worry; you seem really interested in science, and personally I feel that it's always better to know in what direction you're headed than to be undecided(as I am). I'll be really surprised if JHU doesn't take you though.</p>

<p>anyone? any more input? cmon i haven't even sent out all my apps. and i need to know if im just wasting time. feel free to just bash my face in with criticism too</p>

7

<p>cmon now 10 characters</p>

8

<p>very low chances at all 4 schools. BC is the easiest, and you got deferred.</p>

9

<p>yea well i realize i'm in the bottom bracket of applicants, but perhaps you could suggest a few safety or match type schools?</p>

10

<p>I feel the need for BUMP</p>

11

<p>And once again, the Time for bumping has come.</p>

12

<p>You have a chance of being accepted to at least one of the schools you applied to but none can really considered a safety.</p>

<p>If you haven't also applied to a safety, I'd do so at once. Although you have limited options, you can try a school with rolling admissions or a school with a late date (there's a thread with lots of ideas).</p>

13

<p>Lukewarm for Tufts ED II, but who really knows?</p>

14

<p>Haha yea talk about nervous, ed admissions decisions for tufts come out feb 1, and I stupidly and accidentaly wrote down my interview on last wednesday for thursday, so it's rescheduled for tomorrow. AAHh</p>
