<p>Hello, I was wondering my chances </p>

<p>3.452/4 (yah i know not to high, but a good upward trend)
24 semesters of AP and Honors classes (hardest courseload of any student in my school)</p>

<p>ACT 31 (i will use this to turn in), and will retake the test, trying to get a 33 or higher</p>

<p>also for subject tests
740 chemistry
710 math 2c
680 ushistory</p>

<p>Some of EC's
Religious Education Class, Catholic Youth Leader. (lots of volunteer hours)
Model United Nations, State Security Council
Hawaii State Science and Engineering Fair 2nd place in chemistry and 1st place in sustainablity for large research project
Presidential Volunteer Service Award Medal
Voice and Guitar Lessons for 4 years.
Math Club</p>

<p>I didnt include all the EC's because im guessing you would want to read through all of it, but i was hoping that you would chance me, and maybe even suggest colleges that i may apply to in the boston area.</p>

<p>I know my gpa is highest, and that is mostly due to freshman year, whereas every semester after that has been a constant 3.67 to bring it up.</p>

<p>So please chance me, i will be grateful :)</p>

<p>Jorr08: If you are in the top 10% of your class, then I would say you are a shoo-in. If not, then definitely a reach.</p>

5

<p>65% of HC freshman are in the top 10% of their class. The others are football players, basketball players, baseball players, etc and others with special talents or backgrounds where they may relax the requirement somewhat but 100% are in the top half of their high school class.</p>

<p>my school doesnt rank so im not really sure</p>

<p>but i go to the 5th best private school in the US, with deflated grades.</p>

7

<p>Given what you just said (this is one of those special circumstances) I think you have an excellent shot.</p>

8

<p>You probably do have a better shot. The GPA is going to hurt you a little. Even if you submit your test scores, Admissions still relies heavily upon your GPA. However, it seems that you have an excellent resume. Make sure that you have an excellent essay.</p>

<p>I think you look like a perfect match for HC.</p>
