Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Currenty I seem to be most interested in Mills College. Do I have a shot? Also, if you have any other suggestions please let me know. I'm trying to decide which LAC's to apply to.</p>

<p>Here are my stats:</p>

<p>Junior at a competitive public school.
2.8 Cumulative GPA (Every semester as been above a 3.0 excluding freshman year) Rank 44%
Averages out to a 3.4 excluding my math classes. My school is known for being very hard on our students in math, and there is severe grade deflation. Class average is usually a D. In order to make up for this, I am going to explain the situation to college admissions, and I also have proof that I'm good in math.
--720 SAT II math I
--top 5% in Missouri standardized math testing.
20 ACT (first time, and will retake, and I'm acutely going to study this time)
Took Honors Government this year, and got an A. Plan on taking AP Government test self study. Next year will take: AP English lit, AP statistics, AP US History, and AP Art History, along with honors German III.</p>

<p>Sports: Varsity Track 3 years , cross country 2 years, Ice hockey for 12years and made Varsity hockey since freshman year.</p>

<p>Clubs: FBLA-2years, school reporter and district vice president. 4th in multimedia presentation at districts. Got FBLA to sell candy bars to raise money for Alzheimer’s foundations, of which $400 was donated.</p>

<p>Community service: 100 hrs at local food pantry. Organized a local 5k run/walk which got around 200 people and all the money went to Raising money to provide heat for those whom don't have the money to pay for heating/air conditioning bills. Talked to someone whom is a principal at a Colorado school, and promoted their idea of selling glow in the dark wrist bands, and when you buy one, signed a thing saying you wouldn't drink and drive. I promoted the idea to 18 local high schools, and sold 6000 wrist bands, and raised approx $10,000, for a charity. </p>

<p>Competitions: 3rd at districts as University of Missouri Economics Challenge.
2nd in state, 38th in nation for knowledgematters business management competition. Member of Arête for academic achievement.</p>

<p>Job: Own a small online computer company which builds custom computers. I’m also a day trader. I trade in the stock market, and double the value of my portfolio every year.</p>

<p>Opps, mills is a womens school. What about Muhlenberg College? And Beliot College?</p>

<p>You have some pretty amazing EC's, so I'd say those are both safeties for you. I'm also guessing you go to a prep school because you talked about grade deflation and no ranking, which is a plus. Your scores are solid. GPA could be better but is pretty good for prep school (again I'm assuming).</p>

<p>Why don't you add some reaches? Not Ivy's, but well known, good rep schools.</p>

4

<p>What would you recommend? What about Pepperdine?</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot at 26 and below, and a chance at everything except the top 6.</p>

<p>Anything below 38 you could consider a match/safety.</p>

6

<p>Seems like anything below 50 is a reach. The reason I say this is because if you compare my rank.</p>
