Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>im a sophomore from NJ, and getting pretty nervous about college. </p>

<p>UW GPA: 90/100
W GPA- 95/100
im in the most rigorous classes possible, with a few APS, and Latin as my foreign language. </p>

<p>my school doesnt use 4.0 scale. i also dont know my rank yet, but definitely in top 20% at least. probably closer to top 10% out of around 500</p>

<p>EC's:
Model United Nations- won a few awards
Mock Trial- starting role each year, will definitely be Captain senior year. this year we won my county championship, and made it very far in the state competition.
FBLA- will definitely make state competition next year
Junior Classical League (Latin Club)- raised money for Rome/Athens trip. will be officer senior year, if not junior year
Jewish American Cultural Club- maybe officer senior year
probably NHS next year
i would like to find a club at my school, maybe a young democrats or something like that. how much will that help my chances?</p>

<p>i play baseball and basketball competitively outside of school
i also umpire little league
im also a member of a jewish youth group. im currently in charge of Judaic programming/social action on my chapter's board. i will probably be elected vice president later this year. next year, i will either be president of the chapter or have a regional board position</p>

<p>many of the clubs i am involved in dont have elected officer positions</p>

<p>I will be volunteering soon as a "jr court appointed special advocated for children". i basically will helping out with the advocating of underprivileged children at family courts. i will also most likely volunteer at a nearby hospital this summer and next school year.</p>

<p>i have not taken the sats yet, but let's assume a score a 1900-2100.</p>

<p>Here are the schoools i am internested in:</p>

<p>Rutgers- safety
Drexel
Muhlenberg
Lehigh
Pitt
Franklin and Marshall
Colgate
Syracuse
U of Richmond
Wake Forest- probably my ED school
Elon
UNC CH
University of Delaware
U of Maryland</p>

<p>also, for the southern schools that dont have much diversity, will my religion help at all?</p>

<p>thanks a lot</p>

<p>anyone???</p>

<p>Edit:forgot to add:</p>

<p>I’m also a member of the World Affairs Club and was selected to the club’s steering committee</p>

<p>You’re in to UM if you stay on track, Syracuse, Colgate, U Delaware. Most of the others I’m unfamiliar with so can’t say. UNC- CH is a toss up, they’re extremely competitive to get into.</p>

<p>Not sure about the majority of those, but I’m leaning towards a “yes” for UNC-CH. Assuming you get an SAT in that hypothetical range, that coupled with your seemingly solid set of extracurriculars looks nice. I don’t get the whole GPA think, as I’m used to the 4.0 system, but that looks like the biggest area that you need to improve.</p>

<p>I’m not familiar with WF’s admission rates, but I would guess they are around the same as UNC-CH.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

anyone else?</p>

<p>I think that if you apply ED to Wake Forest you have a decent chance. Colgate would probably be your reach school because it is rather competitive. It is pretty cool that you have latin as a foreign language, so I think you should take a national exam for it to gain recognition! </p>
