<p>Hi! I am currently a junior.
Sat: 2240 (690 math, 790 writing, 760 reading)
Not sure on PSAT yet
GPA: 3.98 UW, unsure weighted bc my school doesn't weight
But Ive taken all honors, and did AP euro last year (5 on exam)
I'm taking AP Chem, AP English, AP French, and AP CALC ab this year (hopefully all 5s or at least 4s)
And I'm doing 3 AP next year
I haven't done subject tests but will for English and French, and probably math 2 because I didn't do well on math 1...</p>
<p>Extra curriculars:
I'm really into art (drawing, painting, and poetry, for fun)
I did a book drive for the YwCa and gathered over 1000 books
Selective journalism program in the summer at UNiversity of Washington
ALso a selective film program there the year before which I won a scholarship for
I took a college class at a local college in anthropology and got an a
Summer job
I volunteered at a 3 week summer arts camp for underprivileged youth (really fun!$
I also volunteered at a hospital (I used to want to be a doctor)
Now I volunteer at providence Marianwood and massage the elderly's hands and talk with them (it sounds weird, but it's really helped me come out of my shell)
I'm in NHS ANd interact (rotary club)
I dance (lyrical) and play music (mandolin,(guitar) with a band of friends - two things I'm probably most passionate about. I also volunteer at a music venue nearby
I'm also going to do a summer program in France, hopefully!</p>
<p>I want to do international relations in college
That being said, what are my chances at
Bard, Barnard, tufts, brandeis, Pomona, Reed, vassar, Georgetown, George washigton...
Or any other schools I'd be a good match for?</p>
<p>Thanks for your time! I'll chance you back! Thanks</p>
<p>What are you planning to major in? Your EC’s definitely seem to have a more humanities focus to them, rather than the sciences. Your SAT is very strong as is your GPA. </p>
<p>A word of advice about subject tests, though: don’t take Math II if you did poorly on Math I. Math I is much lower level math and doesn’t include the precalculus and trigonometry concepts that are in Math II. Retake Math I instead of jumping to Math II, because Math I is really the basics that set the foundation for Math II.</p>
<p>I would say, though, that you have a good shot at Tufts, Brandeis, and GW, but those are the only ones I can offer an opinion for. Just make sure to keep your grades strong and when it comes time to apply, make sure your application looks great, and make sure your essays are impeccable.</p>
<p>Thank you! Im planning on majoring in international relations (so yeah, humanities not science). The only reason I though about math II is because i’m in calculus this year so it’s closer to what I’m doing… But I’m leaning towards not doing that now, so thanks!</p>
<p>I agree with jaythomas. I think you have a good chance at all the schools you looking into but I don’t know much about Pomona, Vassar or Reed. I think tufts is you’re biggest reach but even so, you have a great gpa and I’m sure the SAT is within their range. Maybe try to show some leadership roles in those ec’s - don’t only say how passionate you are about them, demonstrate it! Overall I think your going great!</p>
<p>Your SAT and GPA put you well in Georgetown range. Make sure the Georgetown interview goes well and remember to visit (if you can). I was told by my interviewer that visiting helps you (not sure to what degree, but any help is good). I’m not sure about the other ones as I haven’t looked into liberal arts schools much. I’m sure you’ll be fine with that SAT though. However, I agree with the above poster that you should start to focus on leadership roles and make sure you do a bulk of your activities now in your junior year as colleges don’t necessarily like you jumping into leadership roles all of the sudden right before college application time. Overall, very good chances! Good luck!</p>
