<p>In the end, I think the Achilles Heel of my application are my Standardized Test Scores. Are they low enough to keep me out?</p>

<p>depends on major, cornell would seem unlikely id think cause of low math. UNC is likely. GTown will b hard they have admissions like the ivies, really arbitrary. scores hurt for BC. The reast are high matches probably, good luck. You will get into probably two.</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing me!</p>

<p>Anyways, those scores make the high-caliber schools (GTown, Cornell, Vandy, BC, W&L to some extent) a slight reach, but you are good for the other two schools.</p>

<p>pretty much in every where but cornell, and MAYBE vandy but your gpa is so high that they wont care about your test scores</p>

<p>yotti thanks for chancing me! First of all nice GPA and sports !!!!!!! </p>

<p>Georgetown = (75) = u got good leadership + GPA
Vanderbilt = (75) ^^^^^
Cornell = (55) IVYs , if u get in , it will be cuz of ur gpa and sports
Washington and Lee =(idk)
Boston College =(90) with scholarship
Wake Forest = (100) they don't require SAT
, and UNC Chapel Hill (60).</p>

<p>Wow, we have a lot in common. We both have a 1300 on SAT I (CR + M); you scored a 710 on writing, me a 730; we both scored a 690 on one SAT II; our class ranks are similar: yours is 4th, mine is 7th; we both took 2 AP classes junior year and 5 AP classes senior year; we're both in track and NHS; and we both have an interest in debate and mock trial.</p>

<p>Not sure if I can assess your chances...hopefully they're good!</p>

<p>The first thing that I notice when reviewing your stats is your excellent extracurricular activities...truly amazing. Furthermore you have a great GPA and a tough senior courseload. The only thing that is somewhat low is your SAT/ACT. However, I think the other parts of your application can easily displace/outshine your average test scores. That being said:</p>

<p>Georgetown: Match/Low reach
Cornell: High Match/ Low reach
UNC: In/Match since you're instate</p>

<p>The rest of the schools you have applied to, I am not too familiar with so I'll let someone else give you his or her thought. Good luck with everything and keep thinking positively.</p>

<p>very nice GPA, class rank, and I think your ECS show a lot of leadership. which is good obviously :P
Boston College, Wake Forest, and UNC Chapel Hill are overall matches. if you emphsize your ECS in your essays , then youll probably have a good chance at vanderbilt and georgetown.
personally, i think you have better chances at private colleges (most of what you applied for anyway), because they look at more than just scores. i dont know about north carolina public schools, but the university of california's definitely stress scores since so many people apply.</p>

<p>thanks for chancing me by the way.</p>

<p>I think your test scores may pose a problem, but your location is pretty favorable, and your leadership is excellent. I think you're in for all except Georgetown and Cornell, which tend to have more emphasis on test scores.</p>

<p>Did you contact any coaches about track?</p>

<p>Your test scores are definitely on the low side at these colleges, but your GPA and ECs will be able to cover it. I say these are all matches/low reaches</p>

<p>Haha this is like looking in a mirror except for your GPA is a little better =). So, I am going to rate you about the same that I would to myself.</p>

<p>Georgetown: Low Reach
Vanderbuilt: Low Reach
Cornell: Low - Moderate Reach
Washington and Lee: Low Reach
Boston College: Match
Wake Forest: Match
UNC Chapel Hill: Match</p>

<p>bumpbumpbump</p>

<p>you have a great weighted/unweighted GPA. And your EC's are amazing.</p>

<p>Georgetown: Mid Reach
Vanderbuilt: Match
Cornell: Low Reach
Washington and Lee: Mid Reach
Boston College: Match
Wake Forest: Match
UNC Chapel Hill: Low Reach</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>bumpbumpbump</p>

<p>I wouldn't worry too much. Your SATs are near the lower average range for a lot of these schools, and your ECs will probably compensate.</p>

<p>your extracurriculars are crazy. i think you stand a great chance at all those schools. good luck!</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance at all of these schools. I'm not familiar with Cornell's admission standards so I'm not sure about that. You have a very high GPA and great ECs, so I think you'll get into most of these schools.</p>

<p>Great GPA and extracurriculars!</p>

<p>Georgetown: Low reach
Vanderbilt: Match - Low reach
Cornell: Match - Low reach
Washington and Lee: IDK
Boston College: Match
Wake Forest: Match
UNC Chapel Hill: Match</p>

<p>I agree with anemgi^</p>
