Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey I'm a junior at a national ranked high school in upstate New York. I was wondering what you all thought about my chances at some of these schools that are my favorites.</p>

<p>High School: Public
Location: New York
Race/Gender: White/Male
Majors: History and Political Science</p>

<p>GPA unweighted: 91.04 maybe like a 3.7 (a little light but mostly honors and AP's)
Weighted GPA: my school doesn't weight but I think with my classes it would weight to like a 4.0 or 4.1
Class Rank: School Doesn't rank but a guess would be top 10 or 20%</p>

<p>ACT: 33 composite on Dec 2013; 33 English, 30 Math, 34 Reading, 35 Science, 9 Essay
32 composite on Oct 2013; 29 English, 32 Math, 32 Reading, 36 Science, 8 Essay
SAT: 2020 total on Dec 2013; 660 Reading, 710 Math, 650 Writing, 8 Essay
(I'm taking the SAT again and am hoping to get at least a 2100 maybe higher but I am definitely content with my ACT scores)
AP Courses: AP Euro (4) sophomore, AP Chemistry, AP US, AP Economics and AP Art History are junior year
rest of classes are mostly honors except some language classes and my first two years on English which was a lazy mistake
Senior Year Classes: AP Stat, AP Calc AB, AP Gov, English Honors, Spanish 5 (taken it since 6th grade), Physics Honors, Business Law, and Public Speaking</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:
-Masterminds Club (type of game show style trivia) 4 years
-JV and Varsity Golf (5 years)
-Volunteering and will probably end up with about 150 hours
-I am on the board of our towns Youth Services Board in a voting position and also am responsible for setting up meetings with the other kids that have lesser positions. I will probably highlight this because it sounds good and I enjoy it a lot. (4 years normal member), (2 years leadership position)
-Youth Court (4 years)
-Hockey (12 years NOT for school)
-I am trying to get a History Club at our school to compete in National History Bowls and Bees</p>

<p>UVA - high match
Northwestern - reach
Dartmouth - reach</p>

<p>Your GPA is decent but your ACT is great and your ECs are also pretty good so if you wrote great essays i wouldn’t be surprised if you got into all of these.</p>

<p>My thread (chance please): <a href=“Chances for Vanderbilt, UNC, NYU, UF, and Duke? - Chance Me / Match Me! - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1610985-chances-for-vanderbilt-unc-nyu-uf-and-duke-p1.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>The GPA and ECs are meh. However, the ACT is great!
Did you get an A in AP Euro? Because if you go to a top school and managed an A in the class, I don’t understand why you’d get a 4!
You have a shot at all-- UVA is a high match, the other two mid-reaches.</p>

<p>Chance back!

<p>Yeah I ended up with a 94 in the class which was like top 10% of my class. In our school it is a sophomore class so it is pretty hard on all of us. On the AP, I can’t be sure, but I think I messed up my thematic essays because I spent too much time on the DBQ.</p>

<p>You really don’t need three chance threads. And you definitely don’t need to bump all three of them.</p>
