Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>hey guys, i'm a high school senior and have been visiting colleges and some of the ones i've truly fallen in love with are Georgetown, Boston College, Cornell and Tufts.</p>

<p>my school doesn't calculate GPA, but i get solid 6's and 7's (out of 7) in my 6 IB courses, have been playing tennis and saxophone for years, have about 200+ service hours, scored 2100 on my SAT and in the 700's in 3 SAT II's, and speak 4 langauges.</p>

<p>what are my chances of getting into any of the schools i mentioned?</p>

<p>If you can write good essays, your chances are excellent. Good luck to you!</p>

<p>Do you have a chance? definitely. Is it a decent amount of chance? Yes Is it auto-in? of course not. Owrk on a really good essay, your scores are decent but not outstanding. You want the colleges’ admission department to look differently at you.</p>

<p>I’d say you have an excellent shot at getting into at least some of the schools you are looking at. If you’re applying to Georgetown SFS, obviously it will be a huge plus that you are multilingual. Otherwise, if you work hard on crafting an “angle” with your essays - i.e., highlighting your community service work as well as your facility for languages as defining parts of your character - then I think that would be a major boost.</p>

<p>Are you planning on doing E.A. to Georgetown and BC? That would also strongly improve your chances.</p>
