Chances

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I just got rejected from Yale (not a surprise), but now I'm starting to worry that I won't get into my other schools.
Schools: Gettysburg, Middlebury, Penn, Duke, Brown, Johns Hopkins, Princeton
(it's the last 5 that I'm really worried about - I just want to get into one of them)</p>

<p>Objective:</p>

<pre><code>* SAT I (breakdown): 710 CR 790 M 710 W
* ACT:
* SAT II: 800 math II 750 Chem 730 LIt
* Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 4.0
* Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): top 10 %
* AP (place score in parenthesis): Calc BC (& AB sub-score) (5), Eng Lang (4)
* IB (place score in parenthesis):
* Senior Year Course Load: AP Bio, AP World, AP Comp Sci, AP French, Western Lit & Thought (english), H Physics, Orchestra
* Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): none
</code></pre>

<p>Subjective:</p>

<pre><code>* Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Dance (10 hrs/week + Dance Company), Violin(HS Orchestra, Private Lessons, Pit Orchestra), Key Club (President, huge club) - these are my three main things but I spend a lot of time with them (there are a few other less important ones)
* Job/Work Experience: Summer Job
* Volunteer/Community service: Key Club (lots of things within that)
* Summer Activities: Summer @ Brown - BELL '09
* Essay: conveyed that I love to learn, I like Math, and I'm passionate
* Teacher Recommendation: didn't read but one I've known for 3 years so I'm sure it was good, and the other said I had the best grade in the class of anyone she's ever had
* Counselor Rec: no idea, couldn't have been bad
* Additional Rec: from my dance teacher - she's known me for so long and I think it's probably great
</code></pre>

<p>My main essay was about my BC calc class and how I was at first terrified of it because I had heard it was the hardest class in the school, but it turned into my favorite class. It was funny, but I thought it said a lot about me (but that could just be me). For most of the schools, I wrote about wanting to study Environmental Studies as my supplemental essay. I don't have any ECs in that area, but I'm really passionate about it. I think it was conveyed in my essays.</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing me! All I want to know is that there's a possibility I could get in.</p>

<p>I think princeton is the only one you should worry about, but there is a chance. They would be fools not to accept you, I mean besides your ECs (unless I misunderstood Key club) you are clearly a math centric student and very strong in that field.</p>

<p>Gettysburg - never heard of it, match?
Middlebury - match
Penn - reach
Duke - low reach
Brown - reach
JHU - low reach
Princeton - reach</p>

<p>You have a solid application, but most of these schools are hard to predict for. I wish you luck!</p>
