College admission chances

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi there,</p>

<p>I am a 17 year old prospective US undergrad student enrolling 2012. I am studying A-Levels in the UK but I am in the equivalent of 'junior year' in the USA.</p>

<p>I was wondering if anybody thinks I have a reasonable chance of getting in to one of the Ivy League universities?</p>

<p>I am yet to sit my SAT Subject exams, but I have taken my SAT Reasoning test and received a score of 2170 (CR - 730, Math - 720, Writing - 720).
(note - would I need to retake these if I wanted to get into an Ivy League?)</p>

<p>I play field hockey for my schools equivalent of a US "varsity" team, and have also represented my region (East of England) at both U16 and U18 level. I am part of the school newspaper, debating society and economics society. </p>

<p>I am currently taking 3AS Levels and an A2 - I received an A at AS French last year. I am predicted AAA for my AS Levels and an A for my A2 French.</p>

<p>I gained 7A*s and 3As in my GCSE exams.
Any feedback would be much appreciated!</p>

<p>Thanks!
Caitlin</p>

<p>Hey, Caitlin</p>

<p>You have chances with the stats you mentioned. Your SAT does give you a chance, but, if you can still increase your score, that would be even better.</p>

<p>Good luck ;)</p>

<p>I’d contact the Field Hockey coaches at schools to which you’re considering applying and see if your athletic ability might provide you an advocate.</p>
