<p>idk what else, would just love some help here! Thanks!</p>
<p>Bump. Come on guys, just someone looking for some input. Be honest, I don’t mind. Thanks!</p>
<p>Bump??? Please & thank you…</p>
<p>Wow I think you are not giving yourself enough credit at all! Your 3 varsity sports, leadership positions, and challenging courses are strong points for you! I’m not very familiar with these schools, but I know a little about American. Truthfully, your GPA and SATs are just shy of their 50% of admitted students range. BUT, there are few applicants with your activities!! So I would say that your chances are boasted a lot!!
Sorry that was probably not helpful at all!
Good luck to you! I hope you get in to all the schools you apply to!! :)</p>
<p>Yeah, American is like my true target school. I feel I’m a little out of their average but I have things to make up for it, hopefully they think so too! And thanks! It was helpful. Same to you (unless you already have/are not a senior haha!)</p>
<p>Really dont wane annoying… but one last bump?</p>
<p>Clearly not ivy but these schools are pretty well known too, I mean 2 NESCAC’s, American, Fordham, and Union (3 pretty well-respected schools) and then Gettys and Stonehill which I can understand peopel not knowing as well. </p>
<p>But yeah, any help?</p>
<p>Personally I know kids from my highschool who were smart and had leadership, but certainly not as impressive as yours and they were both admitted to gettys and stonehill so for those i’d say you have an amazing chance!</p>
