Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I absolutely love all of these schools! I realize that they are probably all huge reaches for me, and I have several back ups schools that I am sure I can get into. Here is my info:</p>

<p>Possible Majors: Economics! (secondary options are physics, computer science, or business)
Possible Minors: SPANISH!</p>

<p>Personal: Caucasian, male, KY</p>

<p>languages:
English,
Spanish (practically fluent)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.98 (One B+ freshman year)
Senior Classes:
All APs: Physics I, US Gov, English Literature, Spanish Culture, Calculus BC, and Microeconomics</p>

<p>ACT: 31, with a 10 on writing. This was my second attempt. I plan on taking the ACT 1-2 more times. I have not done any tutoring for it, and I am about to start a one on one ACT prep class focusing on math and science. (my subscores are 35 reading, 32 English, 29 Math, and 27 science). I think that with this tutoring, I will be able to raise my score to at least a 33/34.</p>

<p>SAT 2: 700 US History..... Planning on taking Math II in October (Yes, I realize Chem is low).</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Coaching a youth baseball camp - 9,10.11,12
Volunteering/Shadowing at a local hospital (approximately 50 Hours) - 10,11,12

<p>Essays: Common App essays are solid. I was able to find unique and personal topics.
Recs: AP Chemistry teacher - should be outstanding. She only does a few every year, and I have an extremely good relationship with her.
AP Spanish Teacher - have had this teacher consistently since I was in 9th grade. Great relationship, and family friend.</p>

<p>AP Scores: 5 AP US History, 5 AP English Language and Composition, 4 AP Chemistry (I think this means I am an AP Scholar?)</p>

<p>Please give me some feedback! Even if it is probably not what I want to hear, I need to hear it now! If there is anything else I left out, or that anyone wants to know please let me know!</p>

<p>I know that all of these schools listed are probably pretty big reaches, I just want to get some feedback from y'all!</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I think your GPA is very solid. You need to increase your ACT score 33 plus to get in those colleges.</p>

3

<p>I think with you having potentially 2 more tries to bump up your ACT is awesome! If you can get it up to a 33 or 34 then I think you are sitting pretty well!</p>

<p>Are you in Virginia? This will really affect your chances for UVA. You’re fine for UNC, but Penn, Vandy, and Washington and Lee will be a bit of a stretch. Try to push that ACT score up a bit! :)</p>

<p>i would say getting your test sac ore to 34+ would allow you to have very good chances at your intended majors.</p>
