Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>OK, here we go...</p>

<p>UW GPA: 3.76
W GPA: 4.63 (it's quirky how my school does it)
BUT I'll have taken 12 APs by the end of senior year (1 Sophomore, 5 Junior, 6 Senior), which will be near the record (if not the record) of # of APs taken during one's high school career at my school, so the rigor of course load is definitely there...
I'm at a normal high school from the Northeast and I'm definitely top 5% of my class.
My rigor is definitely one of the top 3 in my grade, it could possibly be the most rigorous in my class of 483.
I changed schools after freshman year because of bullying, and I'm much happier where I am now, but the difference in GPA calculation makes it a little quirky to calculate.</p>

<p>Senior Year Classes: AP Gov, AP Euro, AP Spanish Lang, AP Microeconomics, AP English Lit, Honors Multivariable Calc (maxed out of BC Calc as a Junior), Honors Physics (scheduling issues prevented me from taking AP Physics), Independent Study in AP Comp Gov sponsored by my school</p>

<p>Scores:
34 ACT Composite
11 Writing
SAT II: Math Level 1- 750, Math Level 2- 780, Chemistry- 730
PSAT: 214 (probably going to become National Merit Commended)
AP: 4 on World History, 5 Chemistry, 5 BC Calc, 4 Psych, 4 US, 4 English (AP Scholar with Distinction)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: </p>

<p>Member of State Student Advisory Council on Education
Captain of Debate Team
1st Place National Circuit LD Speaker
3rd Place State Champion

<p>Essays should be well-written, hoping for superb</p>

<p>Please chance me for Columbia ED, as well as Cornell, Johns Hopkins, Tufts, Northwestern, UChicago, UPenn, and Tulane, and Michigan, Virginia, and UC Berkeley if you can.</p>

<p>Your unweighted GPA may hurt you, and there is nothing that really stands out on your application that really sets you apart from others. However, although some of these schools are reachy, I think you’ll get into at least a couple. Good luck!!</p>

<p>Your unweighted GPA might hurt you as mentioned above but you seem well rounded enough to look appealing to the top universities. If like you said the essay will be well written you should have a pretty good chance at the reach schools.</p>

<p>As you probably know, most of the schools you’re applying to are going to be reaches not just for you but for everyone who applies. I think you have a very good shot at getting into many of these schools. Your stats look good and you have great ECs (leadership and performance at national levels will put you ahead). Good luck!</p>
