Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey guys, senior this year and going through the stresses of Applications...</p>

<p>Supposing that I write and awesome essay and have awesome rec's, what do you think my chances at these colleges are:
1. Wake Forest
2. Tulane
3. Boston College
4. WUSTL
5. Johns Hopkins
6. Emory
7. University of GA/FL
8. Lehigh
9. Syracuse
10. GWU</p>

<p>SAT SCORE: 1250
680 M 570 V
ACT: 27</p>

<p>Not HAPPY AT ALL about this, retaking ACT, taking SAT IIs, and SAT I again...</p>

<p>GPA- 4.3W
3.9 UW
RANK: 8/399 Top 5%</p>

<p>Most Difficult courseload at school..
Extra-curriculars- volunteering, club leaders of several school, 7 Week research program at UM.
Lot's more, summer job, etc, etc</p>

<p>EC + GPA and strongest..I want to get my SAT's up to like mid 1300's, ACT-29/30</p>

<p>Raise your SAT score by 100 points and you are in to them all.</p>

3

<p>That's a little too optimistic for Johns Hopkins and Emory, you need to get more ECs</p>

4

<p>Boston College- slight reach
WUSTL- huge reach
Johns Hopkins- huge reach
Emory- reach
University of GA/FL- safeties i think?
Lehigh- match
Syracuse-safety
GWU- match</p>

<p>get those sats up.</p>

<p>You are aiming high but you're not too far off imo.</p>

<p>WashU, JHU: high reach; Emory reach.</p>

<p>You have a chance at the others, but still BC, WF, Tulane and Lehigh are match/reach. My nephew was outright rejected last year at Lehigh with 1240 and top 7% so they aren't safe.</p>

<p>GW is a match, I think you're safe at Syracuse and in at UGA/UF</p>

6

<p>Might look at Holy Cross and Bowdoin as both schools render SAT's optional. HC has better location-1 hour from Boston.</p>

7

<p>um...I wouldn;t say Washington University was a huge reach...it's still pretty competitive</p>
