Chances / How do I stack up?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Smith College

<p>So I know chances threads are possibly the most irritating thing out there, but I was just wondering how I stack up to other applicants. So, if those people in the know would be willing to just see how I stack up. (By the way, I go to a pretty good public high school; we're ranked second in the state, but it IS New Hampshire, which is pretty small...) </p>

<p>GPA: 4.21 (weighted)
Class Rank: 8 / 201
AP Lang and Comp: 5
AP US History: 4
Taking AP Calc, AP Bio, AP Lit, and and AP Portfolio this year.
SAT Scores: Super-Score is a 2210; CR: 800/770, Math:640/ 670, Writing: 640/740
SAT II: Literature: 750, US History: 730, Math Level II: 690
My course load has been challenging throughout high school--I've always taken the most challenging courses available, and although I do have a fair amount of art electives, it's because of an honest interest in art (as demonstrated by AP Portfolio...) and not because I thought Painting or 3D Sculpture would be easy. Umm, I took French for 3 years but couldn't continue it this year because of a scheduling conflict. My schedule this year is: </p>

<p>Psychology
AP Portfolio
AP Calc
AP Lit
Indep. Study: Half year of the personal essay, half year of critical theory
AP Bio</p>

<p>As for ECs, I've been involved with Girl Scouts since I was in kindergarten, have gotten my Silver Award and am working on my Gold (technically equivalent to the Eagle Scout Award, but in all honesty more work! :] ). I've also been involved with Green Group (our environmental group) for four years, theatre (set design and crew) for two and a half, and NHS for two (president this year). I also spend a lot of time working at my grandparent's farm and at my aunt's green house business. </p>

<p>What do you guys think? Smith is absolutely my top choice, so I'm hoping I compare relatively well.</p>

<p>I would say that you compare well with other candidates for Smith. You have very solid stats, so now all that remains is to wait and see how things fall. Good luck!</p>

<p>Oh! I forgot...I'm also a National Merit Semifinalist and attended a pretty rigorous summer program (the Adv. Studies Program at St. Paul's School in Concord) and received superiors in both my classes, which is pretty hard to do.</p>
