<p>Hey, I'm a junior right now. I recently decided that I was willing to look at out of state colleges, although I've pretty much been dead-set on a nearby college since my freshman year. Now that I'm actually looking at colleges outside of Florida, I'm starting to find that I really like Smith alot. Problem is, the college I've liked up until now had lower standards for admission than Smith. I knew I could get into that college no problem so I've taken rigorous courses, but I haven't cared about my grades as much (not that they are bad, just if I had cared they would be a 4.0). Well, here are my stats, can someone please let me know if they are still good enough to have a chance here?</p>
<p>GPA: 3.85 UW
Rank: 4/441 (soon to be number 2)
APs: Human Geography- 2, World History- 3; Psych, Bio, English Lang, US History, and Stats I am taking currently and I expect to get 3s or higher on them all; I plan to take: Macro, Micro, US Government, English Lit, Calculus and Physics next year
I haven't taken the SAT or ACT yet but I expect to get at least a 2000 on the SAT and 30 on the ACT.</p>
<p>ECs:
- over 500 volunteer hours helping at a local zoo
- volunteering at a local organization that helps families with little income get things like health care and food stamps
- Math League
- Science Bowl
- tutoring in math 4 hrs/week</p>
<p>My ECs don't seem like much but that's because I devote much of my time to volunteering at the zoo and I often am stuck at home due to transportation issues (but instead of doing nothing when I can't get out, I take online classes through FLVS so that I can have more time to learn things I want to).</p>
