<p>Hi everybody, I'm going to be a senior at a private high school this year, and I was wondering if I could get your opinion on my chances at a few schools in particular. I'm a Vietnamese female from right outside of Boston, and I'm thinking of majoring in Communications. =)</p>

<p>SAT - 1970/2400
Math - 590 (not my best subject)
CR - 650

<p>SAT II's - planning to take Biology, Literature, Spanish, possibly Math IC, but seriously. math is not my best subject. </p>

<p>EC's (<em>=planning on it)

<p>Babysitter/Childcare Assistant for local daycare- (10, 11, 12<em>)
Hostess at the Outback Steakhouse (represent!) - (11, 12</em>)</p>

<p>Okay, phew. So here's my college list:</p>

<p>Vanderbilt (absolute #1, most likely applying ED)
UNC Chapel Hill (applying EA)
Boston University
Bucknell U
Lehigh
Northeastern
Providence College
Rhodes
Stonehill
Trinity College
Trinity University (San Antonio)
Tufts (maybe EDII)
UT Austin</p>

<p>What do you guys think? Please be totally honest in your opinion. Also, any suggestions regarding other schools that I should consider applying to would be very much welcomed and appreciated!</p>

<p>Just make sure you can apply to UNC EA, if your applying somewhere else ED</p>

3

<p>yeah, EA at UNC is non-binding, so I think I should be okay. Do you think it's worth applying early to those schools with my stats?</p>

4

<p>UT Austin is probably a rejection. They have few slots for out of state applicants and your stats have to be high.</p>

5

<p>hmm.. okay. thanks for your input. how about the other schools? any idea?</p>

6

<p>ur vietnamese. u'll get in anywhere you want.</p>

7

<p>in fact you will probably -no, you will definitely get money from all those schools on your list.</p>

8

<p>not gonna lie, that does make me feel a bit better hahah, but do you really think my being vietnamese is going to better my chances for admission? i mean, i'm sure there are lots of other vietnamese people applying to the same schools.</p>

9

<p>I'm doubting the vietnamese thing, every vietnamese I kno end up going to prestigious schools. I practically failed life by their standards.</p>

10

<p>Stonehill should be a safety based just on your numbers. I am less familiar with the others,.</p>

11

<p>Your a smart person :) you should go for it</p>

12

<p>thanks =) i appreciate that</p>

13

<p>I'm pretty sure you'd get into providence, trinity, and BU.</p>

14

<p>look, you have mostly As, you took hard classes, and you're a URM (vietnamese!!) you'll get in to all these places for sure, i guarantee it. in fact, i would put money on it.</p>

15

<p>umm just asking to also help me. umm with those stats and instate for UT austin, would the chances be good?</p>
