Math 2 : 730 </p>

<p>Yup!! Pretty please help. Because my academics are quite nasty in the SAT sense. )': I'm thinking of applying for EARLY DECISION ( I will). Wishing to go into Political Science and Economics. </p>

<p>SOS? Any tips anything anything at all is appreciated! Thank you for your time :)</p>

<p>Oh and my college choices are…

  1. Wellesley College
  2. Tufts University
  3. Boston College
  4. Northeastern University
  5. Northwestern University
  6. Smith College</p>

<p>They’re all top schools, I know /: But my parents won’t send me overseas unless I get into a good school. So… Please help? Thank you :))</p>

<p>NWU: Reach
Tufts: Reach
NEU: Reach (about as high as Wellesley ED)
Smith: High match
Wellesley ED: Reach (but lower than NWU or Tufts)
BC: Reach</p>

<p>Is Mt. Holyoke or Sarah Lawrence no good for you?</p>

<p>Hello Catria! Forgive me, but what does Reach mean? Thanks. Hahaha
Um. I took a look at Sarah Lawrence and i’ve never heard of Mr. Holyoke, but I really fell in love with Wellesley.</p>

<p>Reach means that your chances to get in are slim (whether they exist or not)…</p>

<p>Oh okay! Thanks for your honesty :)</p>

<p>I agree with Catria, based on what I saw this year and what it took to get into Wellesley. All of the schools she said are reach schools with your scores, are. Our daughter had 650 CR, 700 Math, and 730 Critical Writing, along with incredibly high extracurriculars, etc and a 4.18 GPA in an all honors/AP load and she did not get into BC. She didn’t try NW, but I’m sure that would have been out.</p>

<p>Could someone chance me as well, please?</p>

<p>SAT: 1900 (retaking in October and plan on scoring much higher)
ACT: 28
GPA (Cumulative unweighted) 3.3 I know its a bit low, but due to personal circumstances (severe anxiety and frequent panic attacks) I go to a well respected public high school.</p>

<p>Senior Year Classes: AP Bio,AP Stats, AP English, AP Computer Science, AP Macro and Micro Economics. I plan on getting all A’s and 1 B this semester. Also took AP US History (4) and AP Gov (3). I’ve taken mostly honors and AP classes in High school. Lastly, I am independently studying for the AP Psych exam and plan on scoring high (I want to be a psych major)</p>

<p>E.C.s: Treasurer of Spanish Club 9-12 grade, Key Club, Volunteer at multiple hospitals, did research with a psychology professor at a local university, intern at the Center for the History of Psychology at a local university, Editor and VP for The Voice: my school’s first literary magazine,</p>

<p>Vee100196: Please don’t post your own chance post in someone else’s thread. Just forum etiquette :)</p>

<p>CatchingMyStars: I’d recommend you retake the SAT in the fall, shooting for 2000+, and apply ED to Wellesley.
-Wellesley ED: low reach
-Tufts: high reach
-BC: low reach
-Northeastern: high match
-Northwestern: high reach
-Smith: high match
(Also, what’s your GPA?)</p>

<p>Sorry, this is my first time on CC, and Im not sure how everything works just quite yet. Thanks for the pointer!</p>

<p>^No problem :o</p>

<p>Hahaha Vee, it’s okay :))
Thanks Beatles! Unfortunately, I come from Singapore! We don’t have GPAs here.</p>
