<p><em>ALERT</em> Just so y'alls know I also accidentally posted this in the general admissions section, and I'm fully aware that their are two postings That being said....</p>
<p>So, I'm looking around at a variety of schools, sent in my applications, and nervously await they're arrival. Can I get some estimates from the rest of y'all's about what my chances are.</p>
<p>A little bit about me:</p>
<p>White Male, Upper-Middle Class, No financial aid needed. Attend an EXTREMELY competitive private school in Cleveland Ohio, and have mediocre to okay to mediocre grades. </p>
<p>Freshman year: 3.33 (Don't judge me)</p>
<p>Sophmore Year: 3.67 (Improvement right.... right.... Please ) Additionally, one AP Class (Statistics)</p>
<p>Junior Year: 3.78 (We're getting better)... More AP's, (English, History, Math)</p>
<p>Senior Year: 4.0 (Finally, we have arrived) Crapload of AP's (English, English, History, History, Math: NOT TYPOS, take more english and history classes. Still take Science, but I dropped foreign language, which was Chinese)</p>
<p>That creates a cummulative grade of 3.7ish... </p>
<p>Now test scores: SAT's Writing (780) English (780) Math (760)... So 2320... ACT's (32)... So I think they're pretty good.</p>
<p>Finally EC's (This is where it improves)</p>
<p>Debate 9,10,11,12 Team Captain senior year... Nationally recognized (12th in the country Junior Year, senior year, we'll see but there's a STRONG possibility of outdoing last year)</p>
<p>Mock Trial: 11,12 I'm Okay</p>
<p>Intramural Sports: 10,11,12 (I'm not that much of an athlete and by not much, I mean NOT)</p>
<p>House Captain: (I go to a pretentious school that has all harry potter fancy schmancy names, but whatever, it's a significant honor). </p>
<p>There are more, but those are probably the most impressive....</p>
<p>Service:</p>
<p>Went to Honduras in my Sophomore and Junior years to help build an orphanage</p>
<p>Spent about 50+ hours of political volunteering</p>
<p>So I think that should be pretty good.</p>
<p>Awards/Commendations: Recognized for being the best English student in the school, the best Debater in the school, best Jazz Musician, and finally, one 3-4 essay contests, and placed 2nd in the Junior year speaking contest (It's kinda a big deal)....</p>
<p>So, finally, the schools to which I applied, or at least the ones I'm have SIGNIFICANT questions about getting into</p>
<p>Brown University (Dream School, the rest are in no particular order)
Vassar
Hamilton
Colgate
UC - Berkeley
Bowdoin
Colby
Bates
Dartmouth
Rice</p>
<p>So those are the ones I'm SCARED about. Any imput about my questions. I serioussssssslsy appreciate it, thanks</p>
