Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello all, trying to weigh my chances</p>

<p>-3.85 UW GPA (School county grading scale is different/harder than other grading scales around us in other counties; ours is 94-100 is an A, others is 90-100 is an A)
-1400 SATs (680 Reading, 720 Math, 740 Writing)
-SAT II's = US History-680 and Math IIC-710
-6 AP classes in high school (school doesnt allow any APs until Junior year; took AP US Hist. and AP Lang. and Comp last year, taking AP Calc AB, AP US Gov., AP Literature, and AP Environmental Science this year)
-4 on AP US Hist. Test and 4 on AP Lang. and Comp Test
-School doesn't rank</p>

<p>-I have played hockey all 4 years in high school for the high school team and various other travel/Junior teams
-Various volunteer activities
-Apple Federal Credit Union "Employee" for the School Bank Branch
-Jobs/internships in the summers between all 4 years
-National Honor Society, Business Honor Society, FBLA Officer</p>

<p>Sorry for the barebones EC list but its somewhat long and I got to finish some homework ASAP (woops...)</p>

<p>I am applying to:
-Boston College EA (#1 Choice as of now)
-University of Michigan Rolling
-Miami University (Miami of Ohio)
-Penn State (already got accepted)
-University of Vermont (should be safety)
-Villanova University
-Virginia Tech (should be somewhat safety)</p>

<p>Thanks all.</p>

<p>UMich is the biggest reach on your list, but your high GPA should help you out. You're in at Miami, and you would probably like it because they have a kick-@ss hockey team. I'm not sure about BC, but I think you have a strong chance. In everywhere else.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response! Yeah, I was afraid Michigan would be tough. I just heard that the smartest male student in my grade got accepted there, so that doesnt help my chances, but I can still hope. What I am really looking for is an honest evaluation of my chances at BC because it is my top choice. I am hoping that I at least get deferred (the aformentioned guy who got into UMich is also applying to BC EA, along with two other girls who are seen as top 5-10 girls in intelligence in my grade).</p>

<p>I have heard awesome things about MU and am visiting a friend who goes there sometime in Feb. I plan to get into MU considering I applied to the University Honors program as well.</p>

<p>Might want to look at Holy Cross-top30 LAC-located 1 hour from Boston. Holy Cross is similar to Boston College and Villanova.</p>

<p>BC - Match
UMich - Match
Miami - Safety
UVM - Safety
Villanova - Safety
Virginia Tech - Safety</p>

<p>Thanks all; looked at Holy Cross and didnt feel right like it did at BC. Thanks for the suggestion though</p>

<p>In at all these schools</p>

<p>Umich is a definite stretch.. other than that i would put you at a match/safety for all the other schools... do you plan on playing hockey in college? like D1,D2, or D3?</p>

<p>I plan on playing but not as a recruit or anything high level like that. I'll play club/intramural most likely.</p>
