<p>Chances @ Penn, William & Mary, NYU, Cornell... </p>
<p>*Got 0 replies when I posted this before...I'm trying again. I notice people reply awfully quick.</p>
<p>I'm a junior now and want to know my chances at U Penn, W&M, Cornell, and NYU with what I have so far. My freshman year grades weren't hot but it was due to personal problems that will be explained to admissions. Also, it is my first year in public school. The year before I was homeschooled and the year before THAT I was in a crappy parochial school.</p>
<p>STATS:
SAT: 1450
GPA: 3.8 unweighted, 4.5 weighted
Rank: My school doesn't rank
APs/college credits: AP American Civics & Government only this year because APs mostly need prereqs and it's my first year so I didn't fulfill everything...
*3 college courses this summer @ Villanova U and 4-5 APs planned for senior year.
*I'm in all honors EXCEPT for math. I don't even know how I got the 700 on my SAT.
ECs:
SADD, Best Buddies, Art Club, Feed the Children, Pen & Ink, Writer's Guild - I'm still joining clubs, there are so many! I am NOT an athlete.
*I know my essay will be more than fine because I love to write and have a passion for it. Recs will also be good because there are some teachers who really, really like me.</p>
<p>...so be honest. If the essay is good and the recs are good and I get As and maybe ONE B, how do I look?</p>
<p>Ohhhh, I forgot to mention that I also have done 250 hours of community service. I am continuing with that. Also, I work a job 15 hours a week...</p>
