Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Okay, I am a rising senior next year, and the college stuff is really starting to get to me, espically with all these AP tests this week/next (3 for me).... so first, my profile</p>

<p>700/740/620 (CR/M/W) SAT I
34 Composite ACT (with 36 on the Math)
95.6 unweighted, 99.97 weighted average in high school
all honors classes through out HS
Big in Televison Production, I do a lot of outside stuff for that
NHS
Volunteering, espically with teachers int he school, once at the Salvation Army
National Merit person, next fall I will know if im a Semifinalist (210 on PSATS)
Public High School in Upstate NY</p>

<p>Okay, first, what are my chances at the Ivies, espically Brown, but really all of them I am interested in, and liberal arts colelges like Swathmore, Bates, Amherest, Reed, and the like.</p>

<p>Second, Should I retake the SATs/does it matter that my SATs arent great, but I have a great ACT score.</p>

<p>Third, shuold I take a heavy courseload at SUNY Oswego (the local college) next year + a few high school classes, or take SUPA (Syracuse University classes offered at High Schools) classes and AP classes at my HS next year?</p>

<p>well for swarthmore, the admissions office takes into heavy consideration your essays (probably similar for most liberal arts colleges).</p>

<p>i think you should try to raise your SAT scores a bit... especially for writing. then again...your ACT score looks good. how are your SATIIs? any idea of rank? ethnicity?</p>

<p>your ECs are okay... but i think you can do a bit more. any hooks?</p>

<p>i don't really know what your chances are. you should give a bit more information. but from what you DID say, i think you have somewhat of a shot.</p>

<p>I'm white male
Im taking SAT II's this weekend + 3 AP tests in the next week (US History, Physics B, and Psychology)
I'm second in my class
I plan on getting a job at the local book store this summer
And I can kinda play up TV because my high school has one of the biggest tv studios in upstate and we do a lot of stuff, like next year, a few friends and I are producing a movie, so it will be good stuff.</p>
