Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>For either Arts and Sciences or Engineering... so I guess chances for either.</p>

<p>3.6 GPA (my school has a 94-100 scale, i don't think colleges adjust for that but if they do all the more benefit for me)

690 Physics
780 MathIIC
690 US History
2 AP's last year, 4 more this year. All but 3 classes in high school honors if applicable.
Interesting essays - good praise from editors (I don't know how good my chances are so I'm not afraid to take some risks)
At least 2 of my rec's outstanding
Top EC's:
Volunteer work/community service for church youth group, service trips every summer.
Church handbell choir 7 years (normally I wouldn't mention this, but when I went there they talked about their bell tower and giving concerts/playing music every once and awhile... so I might as well mention it.)
Guitar 14+ hours a week, take lessons, perform, etc
Tutoring math students and mentoring freshmen during lunch/after school
Math honor society
NHS
Engineering club co-founder, VP

<p>Dont worry about it, you are in.</p>

3

<p>I wouldn't say he's in. I'd say he's more of a match student.</p>

4

<p>I would say you are a match. GPA is the only possible problem/</p>

5

<p>are you guys kidding, a match?!?!...I actually go to Cornell...he has a 3.6, he will most likely not get in - even though your SATs are solid, your GPA will kill you here and adcoms will not like that</p>

<p>Well the helpful thing for my gpa is that it is only that low because of freshman year, and also doesn't include this past semester.
freshman:3.25
sophmore:3.65
junior:3.8
this semester hopefully 3.9 (or 4.0 if i can bring my spanish grade up).</p>

<p>It's good your gpa keeps getting higher. It seems as if you are a match!</p>

8

<p>Wouldn't all Ivy Leagues be considered reach?</p>

<p>I would never say that you are definitely in as our class val was rejected from Cornell with a much higher GPA then the one you have. However, they always look at the whole student so I feel that you do have a good chance; with good recomms and EC's. Like Marauder, I would agree that you would be a match. I would just be waiting for the acceptance letter.</p>

<p>Well thanks for the encouragement, I sure hope I'm a match! Then again I do agree, Ivy Leagues are reaches for pretty much everyone.</p>
