Chances of getting into Barnard College or Colorado College?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey, all! I'm a junior living in Colorado Springs, Colorado and my transcript isn't that bad.</p>

<p>Freshman year: all As, both semesters (four honors classes)
Sophomore year: all As and one B+ first semester, all As second semester (four honors classes)
Junior year: all As and one B (freaking AP Biology), second semester starts tomorrow actually (five weighted classes, including three honors and two AP)
Senior year: I plan to take four weighted classes, three of which will be AP</p>

<p>I do lots of extracurricular activities:</p>

<p>-National Honor Society
-National French Honor Society
-National Tri-M Music Honor Society
-active member of a community service club at school.
-competitive archery (and won a couple of awards in tournaments)
-piano (a few awards here)
-monthly volunteer at a local soup kitchen
-assistant coach on Saturday morning archery practice sessions (no pay)
-I don't know if this counts, but I babysat family friends' kids for no pay
-I don't know if this counts, but I figure skated for about eight years before quitting in seventh or eighth grade (lots of awards here)
-volunteer at the hospital
-member of the Junior Volunteer Leadership Team at the hospital (and hoping to become a member of the board of directors next year)</p>

<p>This is the worst semester for grades I've had; that B in AP Biology was nowhere near a B+ so it's really shaming, especially when I have friends who've aced the class in previous years.</p>

<p>I want to know if I have a chance of getting into Colorado College or Barnard College with the way things are going now. (I'm keeping the possibility that I'll get a couple more Bs during high school in mind too.) And if I do have a chance, could I qualify for scholarships? My parents' combined income is a little over $100k per year, but it's not enough to pay for full college tuition, nor are we poor enough to qualify for those financial aid packages for impoverished students.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>It looks like you have a fairly good shot but it’s hard to tell without test scores and class rank.</p>

<p>If your parents’ income is a little over $100K, you should qualify for need-based financial aid at CC or Barnard, depending on the details of your situation (family savings, other college-age siblings, etc.) Use an online Net Price Calculator to estimate your costs.</p>

<p>For a rough idea of what you may be able to expect, find your income level in the following table posted by Trinity College:
<a href=“http://www.trincoll.edu/AboutTrinity/offices/InstitutionalResearchPlanning/Documents/financialAid.pdf[/url]”>http://www.trincoll.edu/AboutTrinity/offices/InstitutionalResearchPlanning/Documents/financialAid.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
(~$38K average aid to need-based aid recipients in the $90,000 - $119,999 income range, which would leave you with costs comparable to UC Boulder’s in-state rates.)</p>
