CHANCES, please? (freaking out here)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>So I've recently - as in within the last month or two - developed the fear that I won't get into any of the colleges I've applied to. Here's my stats, could you guys tell me if it's possible?</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Caucasian
Sex: Female
Location: NY - I'm in a rural area near the Thousand Islands (the town has a population of about 1,200).
School: Public. PreK-12, the only school in the district. Very small, offers no honors or AP courses and few extracurricular activities. Past students never (or very, very rarely) apply to top schools.
Class Rank: 1/26
GPA: 99/100 (would that be a 4.0?) All averages are unweighted.</p>

<p>SAT I
Math: 690
Critical Reading: 740
Writing: 710
Essay: 9</p>

<p>SAT II
Literature: 730
Biology E: 710
Math I: 680</p>

<p>ACT
Composite: 33
English: 35
Math: 29
Reading: 34
Science: 32
Essay: 8</p>

<p>Extracurriculars
Cheerleading (9-12)
National Honor Society (10-12) - Treasurer 12th grade
Science Club (9-11) - Vice President 10th grade
Spanish Club (9-10)
Yearbook (12)
Mock Trial (12)</p>

<p>Work Experience
cleaning cabins, 2005-2007 (summers only)</p>

<p>I know that my extracurriculars and lack of AP or Honors courses will probably be a weakness, as well as SAT and ACT essays and math sections. I'm hoping that my small town and small school will help me stand out, though.</p>

<p>Schools (in order of interest) - and I know, I applied to a lot.
Princeton
Columbia
University of Chicago
Georgetown
Penn - grandfather attended
Yale
Cornell - mom attended (for grad school)
Brown - aunt attended
Dartmouth
Carleton
NYU
BU</p>

<p>(and if it helps with determining my chances anywhere else, I just found out I was accepted into Northeastern University with a 15,000/year Dean's Scholarship)</p>

<p>As you know, PYH is a 50/50 for even the best of applicants. You have a hook of some sort? The lack of AP classes…that will probably hurt, but does your little school offer them? If they don’t, have your guidance counselor explain that to them!!</p>

<p>I’d try to get the SAT I up…</p>

<p>Don’t know all the schools, NYU in, Penn in, Chicago most likely in…the others im not sure. sorry. Best of luck!</p>

<p>can you help me out? <33 <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/661484-chance-deferred-kid-ill-try-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/661484-chance-deferred-kid-ill-try-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I guess I should point out that with NYU I’m applying to Stern - is it more competitive than the College of Arts and Sciences?
Also, in Penn I’m applying to Wharton, in Georgetown the School of Foreign Services, in Boston University the School of Management, and in Cornell the College of Human Ecology.</p>

<p>(Because I wasn’t thinking, I guess, and stupidly applied to some of the most competitive programs.)</p>

<p>You have the same chance as everyone else with a 3.8+, 31+. No need to freak out, this site is no longer helpfull.</p>
