<p>Hi, I'm a rising senior and early decision is coming up.
How would my chances be at Haverford (Early Decision 1) and Bowdoin (Early Decision 2)?
Here's my info:
3.9 GPA with a .4 boost figured in for each AP (3)
No class ranking (but 3.9 is the usual cut off for top 10% at my school)
ACT: 34 (34english 34math 36reading 31science 10essay)
SATIIs: Math2c: 800, US History: 770, Biology: 700 (I took this in 9th grade and it's my third best so I'm hoping schools won't count it)
APs: European: 4, Physics Mechanics: 4, American: 5</p>
<p>I'm not any kind of minority or anything
Possible hook: I take three languages at school and I'm interested in pursuing them. I also spent a portion of this summer learning Egyptian Hieroglyphics in a program at Brown. </p>
<p>12th Grade Schedule:
Non-AP English 1credit
Economics .5credit
Nationalism .5credit
AP Chem 1credit
AP Calculus 1credit (I don't know if it's AB or BC, it's the lower of the two)
AP Spanish 1credit
Latin 3 1credit (no honors offered)
French 9honors 1credit
P.E. .5credit</p>
<p>Extra Curriculars:
Drums, Tennis, Improvisation Club, Academic Challenge Club (like Quiz Bowl or trivia), Boxing, Volunteer at a local daycare (~150 hours), Volunteer with J-Teen (Jewish Teens), Volunteer with Habitat for Humanity</p>
<p>Awards:
AP Scholar, National Society of High School Scholars, invited to some sort of Congress thing in DC, some Service Award from that daycare center - I know I have at least one more but I can't think of it at the moment</p>
<p>My essay I'd assume will be so-so (haven't started it yet, I'm a terrible procrastinator :( - I'm not a great writer either). However, I'm confident that I will interview well if that means much.</p>
<p>Recommendations: from my 11th grade math and Spanish teachers - I got very high 4.0s in both of those classes and had a great relationship with both teachers, I can also include the recommendation from the teacher of the summer program at Brown</p>
<p>I pretty much have my heart set on attending one of Haverford or Bowdoin.
What would you guys say my chances are at Haverford (Early Decision 1) and Bowdoin (Early Decision 2)?</p>
<p>If you feel like it, could you also tell me my chances at some ofmy regular decision schools:
Brown (my father and his father both went there and i spent the summer in a 5 week program there - I also got a great recommendation letter from the program's teacher who's currently a grad student at Brown), Amherst, Wesleyan (my mother went there and was told that they like legacies), George Washington, Georgetown, Williams, Middlebury, Bucknell, Trinity College, Franklin & Marshall, WashU in StLouis, Grinnell, Kenyon, Northwestern, SUNY Binghamton - I doubt I'll apply to all of these but these are the schools I'm considering after Haverford and Bowdoin</p>
<p>This is my first post so let me know if i forgot something, and thanks a ton for your opinions.</p>
