Chances? X-x

<p><em>flails</em></p>

<p>I never do this, I’ve only done this twice because this usually causes me to panic more (regardless of what people say XD) But I figure at this point, I can’t get any more panicky so it’s worth a shot. Be kind. X_x</p>

<p>Filipino-American from Chicago suburbs</p>

<p>GPA - Unweighted: 3.55
GPA - Weighted: 3.90
Rank: 142/913 (that’s probably changed, though…) x_x</p>

<p>SAT: 720 V, 630 W X<em>x, 550 M (haha =</em>=)… but I retook yesterday and I feel as though I improved. My scores are being directly sent to Bryn Mawr.
SAT IIs: Lit - 690 (still ****ed off about this one, at myself; I should have looked up what was on the test so I wouldn’t have spent 2 minutes gaping at the fact that they had poetry on it. Which I suck muchly in, btw XD), USH - 670
ACTs: 29 but I’m retaking next week (yep, I’m super panicky, I’m retaking everything rofl =_=) and I’m also sending these scores directly to Bryn Mawr
APs: 8 classes by graduation, may self-study one to take 9 tests total; English Language - 5, Psych-o - 5, Euro - 4 (still a little mad at this one since I was sick the entire month of May haha), USH - 4 (didn’t deserve that high of a score)</p>

<p>And here’s the fun part… XD
School choir: 9, 10
Church choir: 9 (I actually did church choir for about 6-7 years of my life lol but I wanted to concentrate on school)
Yearbook: 11, 12 (editor 1 year and probably do the most freaking work since I’m always coming in)
Election judge: 12 </p>

<p>AP scholar w/ honor
High Honor Roll
Quill & Scroll expected in May 2007 (my advisor has told me it’s okay to put it on my application but I’ve been wracked with guilt and have told colleges that I’ve already submitted to that I haven’t received it yet. I don’t know if I’ll put this on my application, I probably won’t)
Made it to NVC regionals lol</p>

<p>Yeah I’m kind of desperate for awards. Bah X-x</p>

<p>I had a VERY rough time transitioning to high school… I came from a small private school (about 200 students) that I had attended my entire life and transitioning to a school of about 4k students wasn’t easy. I kind of had… problems. I explain it in my essays. I plan on being VERY active in college, though; I want to pick up fencing, join choir again, join the newspaper, continue w/ Yearbook, etc.</p>

<p>Have visited and have been interviewed. I talked to my interviewer about my lack of ECs XD We had a very good conversation, if that helps any.</p>

<p>I don’t exactly appear or act like it, but I’m very introverted XD I like to write and read that’s all I seem to do. Which is why my EC list is kind of poor.</p>

<p>Thanks XD</p>

<p>Ohh and say, what do you think are the chances, if I do get admitted, of me getting financial aid? My parents have been stubbornly ambiguous and have just told me that our income is over $150k. I’ll be the only one in college because my sister just finished her Master’s and my brother won’t be in college for another two-some years. I would love to be a Mawrter but I’m afraid that if I do get admitted, I won’t be able to go because the price we’ll have to inevitably pay will be far above any other schools I get admitted to (which is the same situation with St. John’s College, I’m sorry to say.)</p>

<p>Okay I’m done. <em>braces self</em></p>

<p>so did u apply to bryn mawr for early? my stats r almost similar to urs..except for the sat scores..n i think we both have similar chances.</p>

<p>No, I didn't apply early. I didn't apply early anywhere, heh... kind of wish I had, but I don't want to make a commitment now and end up regretting it a few months down the line. I'm kind of freaking out still, I'm just hoping I bring up my GPA this semester and I'm really really REALLY hoping that my SATs improve so I'm in the mid-700s CR, low-700s W, and anywhere in the 600s b/c I'm so very not picky for M, lol, and anywhere in the 30s for the ACTS (when I take it in a few days) w/o superscoring. How did you do on the SAT? Do I want to know? XD</p>

<p>Er... what do you think the chances are? Low? X_X</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm in ultimate freak out mode right now hahaha XDDDD I feel like I'm completely screwed right now and I hate it bah dlsfjka;sdjkf +_+</p>

<p><em>is calm</em> x.x</p>

<p>I'm going to get my SAT scores this week and hopefully ACT scores the following week; would a slight increase (ACTs in the 30s, SATs 2000s) help my chances? I don't know how I could possibly increase my rank and my percentile much, if at all... it'll probably fall, to be honest. But yes. I should hopefully end this semester strong with mostly As. Unless it's the worst case scenario and I end up with 4 As and 3 Bs. Which would make me want to cry but I'll suck it up. Heh. Anyway.</p>

<p>Must. Sleep. <em>yawn</em></p>

<p>My SAT scores have gone up. My highest now is 720 CR, 590 M, and 710 W with an intent to pursue an english-related career. Everything should hopefully be going up, esp. if BMC superscores the ACT. I know scores and numbers aren't an be-all, end-all and I'm sure I'll write fantastic essays (which I should do this winter break! ;)) but I'm really worried and yeah =/ Esp. now that it's clear that BMC is taking the spot as my first choice heh. <em>crosses fingers</em> >.></p>
