Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I am a jewish female junior this year about to go into my senior year. </p>

<p>I'm wonder what my chances are at either Colgate, Washington and Lee, UNC, or University of Chicago</p>

<p>My superscored SAT is a 2120
Math: 650
Reading: 730
Writing: 740 (With an essay score of 11)</p>

<p>My dry score is a 2110
Math: 650
Reading: 730
Writing: 730 (With an essay score of 10)</p>

<p>I have taken the SAT II in American history and I got a 690. I took it again today (hoping to get above a 700) and am planning on taking the Math 2 test in the fall as soon as it's available.</p>

<p>My GPA at the beginning of this year was a 91.1% (roughly a 3.6), but considering my schedule this year was harder, i'm expecting it to drop to about an 88 (roughly a 3.3) My school does not weight GPAs.</p>

<p>As far as APs go, this year i took APUSH and currently have an A average, and AP English Language and i have an A in that as well.
Next year i will be taking:
AP studio art
AP Environmental
AP Calc AB
AP Spanish</p>

<p>I would have also enrolled in AP English Lit and AP Government, but my school offers Senior Seminar Programs, and so for English, Soc, and Drama credit i will be taking a 3 period class called Stages, in which students write, produce, direct, and perform their own original musical. It's a really unique thing to have on a resumé and im really excited to take it.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
4 years of Girls Varsity Soccer (including 1 All-County award and 1 All-Class award)
10 years of out of school Travel Soccer (I don't know if that makes a difference but i'll just put it down)
3 years of Girls Varsity Fencing
1 year of Girls Varsity Lacrosse
4 years of Athletic Leadership Club (including an officer's position)
2 years of Peer Drug Education and Peer Leadership Clubs/Programs
2 years of Model UN (including an officer's position)
2 year member of my school's Congress
Ample community service hours, mostly working with mentally handicapped adults and kids (e.g. Special Olympics)</p>

<p>I pride myself on my writing and think that my essays for my application will be pretty strong.</p>

<p>Letters of recommendation will include a supplement letter from my school's vice principle, if that makes a difference.</p>

<p>Do I have a chance?!?</p>

<p>-sorry this is so long-</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Hi, I think you can try for all these schools but they’re reaches. Your SAT is definitely within the reach these schools want but your GPA is lower. I think since it is unweighted though you have a better chance. What are your grades in your individual classes like?</p>

<p>Can you be recruited for sports? Otherwise your chances are small at UChicago and UNC. </p>

<p>Generally I get high 90s in English, mid-high 90s in Soc, low-mid 80s in math, high 90s in Spanish although this year I had a blip and got an 82. Science tends to fluctuate. I got high 90s in regular bio freshmen year, something in the low-mid 80s for sophomore year chem, and a 93 this year in physics. But none of my science classes are “advanced.” In art I get mid-high 90s. </p>

<p>Also I got a 5 on the English AP and a 4 on the APUSH AP. </p>

<p>Thanks for your feedback!</p>

<p>Sorry but Chicago and UNC are out of reach with that GPA. The other two you have a shot at. </p>
