Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Id like to have opinions on my admission chances at some schools
My info:
Junior Caucasian Male in small Catholic school in Pennsylvania, both parents went to college</p>

<p>GPA: 4.05 weighted? (unsure about this one, my school has a really confusing system. Let's just say i average a mid to low A)
Rank: 7/154
Difficulty: My junior and senior schedules were the hardest possible at my school
SAT Math: 790
Crit. Reading: 750
Writing: 700
SAT Subject Tests: Chem-770 (hoping this will somewhat make up for my chemistry grades, which have been my worst the past two years)
U.S. History-800
Math pending
Probably will end up being a National Merit Finalist</p>

<p>Not a well known high school, pretty much everyone goes to small local colleges</p>

<p>EC's: Varsity Football three years
Varsity Baseball two years (not getting recruited for anything)
Concert Band 4 years, section leader 3 years
Church youth group 3 years
National Honors Society 1 year
Peer Ministry senior year
Quiz Bowl 1 year
Student Council freshmen year
Hospital volunteer service
over 100 hours of general service
I have a job at a golf course
I also play guitar and piano outside of school</p>

<p>Schools: Princeton (only applying because i'm a legacy)
Dartmouth
Cornell
Tufts
William and Mary
Notre Dame
Georgetown
Villanova
Duke
Boston College</p>

<p>Opinions on schools you know about would be much appreciated</p>

<p>Your SAT scores are VERY good, and your GPA seems pretty good too (although I don’t understand how you get a 4.05 UW GPA, since its out of 4.0…but anyways…) Your ECs are diverse, which is good, but the problem is that you dont demonstrate passion in one specific area…is there something you really love and stand out in? And are there any notable local/national/intnl awards for that?
Anyways my predictions:</p>

<p>Princeton (only applying because i’m a legacy): high reach. the legacy helps, but you dont jump out from the huge pool of princeton applicants
Dartmouth: reach, they put a big emphasis on class rank and 9th is good but not exceptional
Cornell: low reach
Tufts: match
William and Mary: match
Notre Dame: in
Georgetown: in
Villanova: in
Duke: low reach?
Boston College: low reach</p>

<p>You’re in at least one of the colleges that are a reach, imo :slight_smile:

<p>well the 4.05 is a weighted gpa, id say my average (unweighted) grade is about a 93, and my rank is 7th…and no, i havent gotten any awards yet that i can put down</p>
