Chances for '10

<p>So I just got waitlisted at Wellesley. I was wondering if people could look @ my stats and tell me what they thought of my chances at Brown. Thanks.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.75 (uw) the kicker: C+ in precal first semester. senior yr. B+ 2nd semester though. All A’s on my record besides for that and 1 B- in geometry.
Rank: top 20-25% (not sure. only 40 kids in competitive school, so it’s hard)
6 AP’s (3 senior year–no AP spanish at my school, so Spanish 4 and precal) took advantage of curriculum at school–not hardest (b/c of math/spanish–but hardest I could take)
Scores on AP: US Hist.5, Europ. Hist5, AP Bio.4
SAT’s: 630 M, 790W, 760 CR (I obviously struggle a little in math)
SAT II’s: 780 US Hist., 660 Bio
EC’s: Amazing–Organized group to go to south america to work at school for poor kids (3 yrs.) in summer, International Relations Programs at G-town and Harvard, Student Council VP, Student Council all 4 yrs., International Camp that promotes Peace–involvement. 4 yrs., social service club, multi-cultural, make a wish, etc. Also, all-state track/xc runner and swimmer for 4 yrs. of high-school (talked to coaches) captain of all 3 teams.
Recs: All are people I know and trust. So I hope that they were pretty good. I know that one extra letter of rec. from a professor at one of the programs I took was really good.
*I am a white female and my family is middle-class if that helps. </p>

<p>So basically–I know that my stats. could be better, but I feel in the context of what I do that I did my best to get them. Are they the greatest? No. Are they competitive? I hope so–I honestly didn’t know before my waitlist at Wellesley and now I am even less sure. So please don’t eviscerate me, just give me some honest (and not too brutal, cause I’m sort of bummed already) feedback. Thanks.</p>

<p>^I forgot I have also been the editor of the literary magazine and the newspaper for the past 4 years and I have won some pretty distinguished awards for my writing.</p>

<p>you've only got a couple more days, dont sweat it dude. Who cares what I or anyone on cc thinks anyhow?</p>

<p>dknicks2488 thank you. i think you just wrote the smartest thing on this website.</p>

<p>Cautions optimism is in order. If they see you as a literay talent - as you appear to me - they will not hold your math (math "only" better than 80% of us) against you.</p>

<p>im a glutton for punishment, which is probably why i am responding--despite my belief that knicks was right and i should stop stressing. beprepn--thanks for that pat on the back. i hope that brown sees it that way, 'cause apparently wellesley didn't...I dunno, I think I just sort of took wellesley for granted, which was probably not such a great idea in retrospect. i haven't heard from any other schools, so I honestly am not sure what to think...Oh--speaking of english I got a 5 on my AP Eng. Lang Exam last year. that's 7 AP's if it matters. I didn't say that because I am sort of paranoid about someone seeing my stats and being like "wow, i know her." to be totally honest i am not too proud of using this webiste. my friends would die laughing at me.</p>

<p>Really? there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with using cc as long as you dont take it to seriously. I think you'll be jsut fine and I wish you luck. Try not to worry, though I know it can be hard when all you think (me) about is college decisions.</p>

<p>were almost exactly in the same boat. its kinda scary. you better get in.</p>

<p>haha, i'll do my best admit. anyone else wanna speculate on my chances?</p>

<p>I think that, if they don't reject you or put you on the waitlist, you're in for sure. I could be wrong though. It has happened before. But I have a real hunch I'm right.</p>

<p>Such insight, scrapiron215.</p>

<p>haha, well i guess i asked for that...</p>
