Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I posted before and got one real response and one troll, so I figure I'll try again. </p>

<p>Unlike the vast majority of people on these boards I'm not some model student laboring over Ivy League acceptance. I'm an average student simply wishing to see where I stand.</p>

<p>I'm a white High School junior at a competitive public school in MA.</p>

<p>Basics</p>

<p>Class Rank: uncalculated, but within the top 20 percent for sure. Class size ~ 300.
GPA: once again, uncalculated, probably ~ 3.4 ... maybe?
PSAT: 198(didn't care or try. I'm pretty sure I can get ~ 2100 or higher)</p>

<p>Since I don't really know my rank or GPA I'll list my classes and their final grade.</p>

<p>To be honest, you sound pretty good.</p>

<p>Im from the UK so i'm finding all of these SAT things confusing (we don't have them)</p>

<p>But yeah pretty good. Good luck.</p>

<p>Yea, I agree. Your list looks really good, good balance of safeties, matches, and I don't really see any huge reaches. The only slight reach is Boston College, but I still think you could get in there too... Good luck!</p>

<p>I think you have a great shot at Boston U. and Hampshire. Boston College, Hamilton, and Colby are more of reaches (although certainly not impossible), University of Chicago is also a reach and depends a lot on how good your essays are, and I'm not really familiar with the rest. Good luck!</p>

<p>I agree with Kev07wan....Boston College may be a slight reach but I'm sure you'll get in there and the rest are either matches or safeties....But your course load and your scores are pretty good! Good Luck!</p>
