Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I already posted this elsewhere on the site but I'm a new member so I wasn't sure if this would be the better place to post...</p>

<p>I'm a junior at a competitive public high school in CT (female, Asian).
My cumulative GPA for fresh & soph years is a 3.7 UW (3.6 fresh, 3.9 soph) and my GPA for the 1st semester this year is a 3.8 UW.
I have taken mostly honors classes throughout high school (w/ exception of science); I've taken two languages since last year (French & Spanish), and I'm doubling up on science this year (Physics and Anatomy & Physiology).</p>

<p>Taking 1 AP this year (US History) and 4 next year (English Lit, Stats, Psych, Government & Politics).</p>

<p>Scores:
SAT I (w/o studying): 1810 (610 CR, 550 M, 650 W)
ACT: taking in a week
SAT IIs: probably going to take USH and Lit
I know I can definitely bring my SAT score up to 2000. Retaking in June and October.</p>

<p>ECs:
Dance (11 yrs, 4 yrs in Senior Company, my studio's performing company)
Piano (9 yrs)
100+ hours of volunteer work, including mentoring, tutoring, and various fundraising
Clubs: Key Club (recently elected officer for next year), Lit Club</p>

<p>Prospective Major: English Lit or Secondary Education</p>

<p>I know I can get great recommendations.</p>

<p>Here is a list of some of the colleges I am thinking about. Are they out of my league? Which are reaches/safeties/targets?</p>

<p>Boston University
McGill University
Kenyon College
Penn State - Park

Lycoming College

UCONN
Connecticut College

<p>Currently, you have excellent chances at Loyola, Bennington, Lycoming and Stonehill. PSU, Elon and UConn are matches. Even with a 2000 though some of these like Georgetown, Bucknell, Kenyon and BC will be tougher. Not sure on the others. Best of luck!</p>

<p>In to low match: Bennington, Loyola MD
Match: Elon, Penn State, UConn, maybe Boston U (High match)
Reach: BC, Georgetown, Bucknell, NYU, McGill</p>

<p>I’m not familiar with the others, unfortunately. Best of luck, though-- you and I seem to be shooting for many of the same schools!

<p>thank you so much :slight_smile: I’m on spring break now, so I’m starting to go out and visit schools – hopefully I’ll be able to narrow the list down once I’ve actually set foot on campus.</p>
