Chances (last time)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Sorry, this is my second chances post, but I calculated my GPA without +/-, got rid of nonacademic classes, honors/ap and freshman year. I go to a highly competitive Jesuit High School (College Prep) and I am a white male from New England.</p>

<p>Stats</p>

<p>GPA: 3.5
SAT 1: 1920 (660m, 670cr, 590w(10/12 on essay, so *** happened)) taking again aiming for a 2000.
SAT 2: Not taken yet, US History, Math 1c</p>

<p>ECs:</p>

<p>4 Years Concert Band (1st/2nd Trumpet)
3 Years Jazz Band (2nd/3rd Trumpet)
6 Years Boy Scouts
*Tried out for Tennis 3 years and never made the team (what can I say? They're all nasty at tennis). Still a time consuming hobby.
2 Years Political Awareness
1 Year Online magazine
1 Year School Newspaper (Seniors only)</p>

<p>Work Experience:</p>

<p>2 Years at a Doctor's office, also interned during 1 summer at a hospital (thought I wanted to go PreMed, but I changed my mind).</p>

<p>Volunteer Work (20 hours required for Sophomore year, 30 hours required for Junior year, 2 hours/week required for Senior year):</p>

<p>100 Hours at a nursing home
50 Hours at a community Recreation center
20 Hours at the Public Library</p>

<p>Teacher recommendations will be pretty good, from Physics and (very tough) US History Teacher. Essay will be pretty good as well.</p>

<p>i feel bad....i'll answer.....northwestern is a hard reach but your chances might go up if u ED....BC i think u have a shot cause i know someone with worse stats that got in....nyu i think u have a shot....wake forest i dont know too much about...i think u can get into all of your matches.....and i dont really have to go over your safties</p>

8

<p>Thanks man, I appreciate it. Anyone else?</p>

<p>I think there is a good chance you will get into all of your matches, and your safeties are safe. I think you have a pretty good chance at NYU. Northwestern is a very big reach and to have a good shot you should apply ED (otherwise, your chances there are pretty slim).</p>
