Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Sorry, I posted this under the Brown forum when it should be here. I'm new- this site is awesome!</p>

<p>My chances to Brown, Emory, WashU or Vanderbilt. I'm really looking towards Brown, which is financially the only standout when weighed against UF (they would pay me to go, I would go honors, etc.)</p>

<p>White Female from South Florida, 11th grade. </p>

<p>My HS is the biggest HS in FL, public, with great scores and great academics. We are on an 8 semester block schedule that limits class selections- each AP is one of four blocks. Also, most kids stay within the state system due to our state scholarship programs.</p>

<p>Jr Year Classes: AP French, AP English, AP Calc AB, AP US History
Sr. Year Classes: AP Govt., AP Econ., AP English Lit., AP Environmental, AP Calc BC</p>

<p>ACT's: 33
SAT's: 1350 First Try, Retake In June
SAT 2's in May: French, Math I, US History</p>

<p>Class Rank: 59/1271

<p>No sports, spent summer of 2005 at a non profit sleep away summer camp as a volunteer counselor. 600+ hours. Fluent in English, Spanish, and French.</p>

<p>Nothing really special about me, aunt and uncle legacy to Emory although I doubt that would help.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out- your input is GREATLY appreciated.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your input! I'm really freaking out abt this whole process and you've def. soothed me a bit!</p>

5

<p>Average chance at Brown. I wouldn't put all your stake into it though. Lots of competitive people applying from world wide.</p>

6

<p>What about my chances at Emory? I know Brown is going to be a stretch for me. . .</p>

7

<p>You sound pretty cool. Brown's so hip right now, it's a crapshoot for everyone, so don't bank on it, but don't sweat over it either. I think you have a nice, reasonable list going.</p>

8

<p>Thank you so much, that means a lot. I know. . . its such a gamble. I'm trying not to stress too much but it is just a stressful situation, and when I look at people stats who are deferred, rejected, etc. I get nervous.</p>

9

<p>Does anyone else have any advice?</p>

10

<p>WUSTL is a reach for anyone. You have good stats though. How do you know you'd go to UF for free and honors if you haven't applied?</p>

11

<p>Well in FL we have Bright Futures scholarships. . . which is basically anyone with a 3.0 and a 1270 gets full ride to any state school. I also have FL prepaid which will be transferred to pay for room and board, books, even food, etc. I'm assuming I will get in (which is stupid but whatever) and I make the honors college requirements, which you don't apply for, you are just considered for from your scores (4.0 core and 1400 SATS/33 ACTS). I know that WashU will be super hard for me to get into, but I am going to try! Thanks for your input</p>

12

<p>Solid chance at Brown</p>

13

<p>Just wondering if anyone else has any insight? Thanks guys, I won't bump this up again.</p>

14

<p>i'd say all four are matches for you... your Emory legacy wun help as much as it would in top (money-loving) schools like harvard, but it'd still help. you're definitely strong in academics and very strong in social work, great! but your total lack of sports may hurt just a little - just a little because you really show great dedication to what you do.</p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>
