Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi! I just discovered bowdoin- and got very excited until I I realized how immensely competitive it is. I'd just like to know if I have a shot or...not?</p>

<p>My GPA is a 3.5, SAT 2050, ACT 30. I've taken AP Government and Politics, English Honors for three years, Physics and Biology Honors, will be completing four years of German Language and four years of every 'recommended' subject; I am a rising senior and upon prompting from my guidance counselor, will be pursuing more AP's- English language and literature, Environmental Sciences, Art History and German. However, I am hispanic and fluent and spanish, work as a teaching assistant for a Spanish school, have done varsity cross country for four years (just got captain this year!) and work regularly for my church youth group program (aka, volunteering). I come from a suburban area and while attend a public high school, I'm not kidding when I say academics are intense. I'm also from New Jersey; few have heard of Bowdoin-- Maine is quite far, although I've heard they don't take state residency into account? Let me know!</p>

<p>They def. take state residency into account. I’m from Ohio, and I know that Bowdoin tries to get people from all over.</p>

<p>I think Bowdoin would be a reach school for you. It’s a reach school for me, too. Don’t worry about that fact, though, because Bowdoin is basically a reach for everyone. Write very good essays and retake your SATs or don’t send them in. Your scores are at the lower end, so try to get them higher if you can.</p>
