Chances at LACs

<p>Female, Asian, possibly low income, very competitive NYC public school
HS Average: ~94.3 (unweighted) I don't know how this would fit in a 4.0 scale
SAT: CR: 650 M:650 W:580
(taking it again in November, expect improvement....maybe a 2100?)
SAT II: Bio: 720 US: 700
APs:
European History (Sophomore year):3
US History (Junior Year):4
Extracurriculars: Varsity soccer since freshman year, Mock Trial/Moot Court (leadership position next year, co-capt), School Plays, Student Government
Community Service: 350+ (maybe even 400+, not positive about the totals) hours at two organizations, one that supports HIV/AIDS and a not for profit theater program for children.
Interesting Academic Choices: Takes three foreign languages (Spanish, French, and Latin, 5 years of Spanish, 2 years of both French and Latin [will not continue w/ French and Latin b/c I don't have room in my senior schedule]), have taken 4 years of Regents science by the end of Junior Year (despite lack of interest in Science [Bio, Chem, Physics, and Earth]); have taken a 3 credit drama class at a CUNY.
Senior Schedule: AP Spanish, AP Statistics, AP USGov, Aerobics (required gym class), College Level English Seminar at a city university (CUNY), International Politics (College level class at CUNY)
Summer '06: Volunteered at a theater camp (set design intern), and musical theater program at CUNY Hunter College (3 credits - 5 weeks)</p>

<p>Will graduate with 12 college credits just from Senior year, in addition to AP credits given by colleges, and 6-9 college credits that are performance based theater related. </p>

<p>Chances at:
Yale/Columbia/Brown (applying to 2 of the 3 max, am still figuring out which one, considering Yale EA [mistake?])
Bryn Mawr
UMich
Emory
Bates
Colgate</p>

<p>Other colleges I am considering, but am not as interested in:
NYU
Vassar
Carnegie Mellon
Barnard
Smith
Boston
Tufts
Brandies</p>

<p>Any ideas from safeties that would accomodate with my interests in polisci/pre-law and theater? I want to major both, and do a BA in theater not a BFA.</p>

<p>I currently have one safety school...which I am pretty much guaranteed to get into with just grades alone.</p>

<p>you look like you have a really diverse mix of schools there. but ur profile is really similar to mine and im applying to some of the same schools.</p>

<p>Yale/Columbia/Brown- BIG reaches
Bryn Mawr- match/slight reach
UMich- not sure
Emory- slight reach
Bates- match
Colgate- match</p>

<p>NYU- match
Vassar- slight reach
Carnegie Mellon- match/slight reach
Barnard- match
Smith- match
Boston- safe match
Tufts- slight reach
Brandeis- match</p>

<p>You might want to consider Elon and Penn State.</p>

<p>Yale/ Columbia/ Brown will be VERY tough with your current scores. Work hard to boost the SAT.</p>

<p>Giving this thread a healthy little bump.</p>
