Chances with 1st Semester Senior Year PLEASE!!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Ok, re-doing this whole thing so it is more coherent. Bottom line, I just want opinion on stats alone with the semester (1st of senior year)....just wondering how much it can help since I did really well. Just to clarify when I say first semester I am essentially referring to the first half of the year, so 2 terms and mid-year exams. I also already sent the mid-year report out to all of my schools. The short story is that my overall GPA before this year was 3.93 weighted with a class rank of 42 out of 340 (just out of top 10%). My new stats are: </p>

<p>GPA: 4.05 weighted, somewhere around 3.7-3.9 unweighted (school doesn't calculate)
Rank: 30 out of 333 (now in top 9% approx.)</p>

<p>And these improvements are with AP classes and honors classes, so it is not like I just took easy classes to boost my stats. Here are my standardized test scores as well:</p>

<p>SAT: 1950 (640 reading, 630 Math, 680 Writing)
SATII: 610 Lit 600 Math II (only sent to schools that require it)
ACT: 29 normal, 30 super-scored (not all schools take ACT super-scored, however)</p>

<p>Again, I just want some opinions based on pure stats....I don't really feel like diving into all the other factors, but these stats are big ones so I want to get some input on how much schools take the 1st semester into consideration if it helps. Anyways, thanks for responding and here is a list of colleges: </p>

<p>Reaches: Dartmouth, Georgetown, Cornell
Relative Fits: Colgate, Hamilton, BC, College of William and Mary, George Washington University
Relative Safety: Fordham
- On a side note I have already gotten into Tulane, UVM, and Umass Amherst</p>

<p>It is possible to get into all of those schools with your stats, though as I’m sure you know they are a bit on the low side so it might be tough. Thankfully, scores are only one component of a holistic admissions process, so don’t fret that they carry too much weight!</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback! And yes I realize there are many other factors, just wanted to make sure that I am relatively on target. Anyone else?</p>

<p>Looks good but do you have good EC’s? </p>

<p>Please chance me back.</p>

<p>I think William and Mary will be a reach with a 4.05 and since you haven’t mentioned ECs I’m assuming you don’t have any spectacular ones?</p>

<p>Your reaches are unrealistic in all honesty. Dartmouth takes lass than 5% per year who are not top 10% for example, and they are impact athletes and development candidates. Your scores are also not competitive there. The top end of what you’re calling your relative fits are your real reaches and you should be fine at the others.</p>
