Do you think I'll get accepted? (From Maryland)

<p>Hey all,</p>

<p>If you don't mind giving me your educated opinions on whether I'll get in or not, that'd be much appreciated. I'm from Maryland, I will be able to pay in full <a href="no%20financial%20aid%20required">b</a>**, and I am currently a junior. </p>

<p>I guess I'd be applying to CAS.
Here's my quick resume:</p>

<p>-Male, white, Jew
-3.69 weighted GPA
-3.14 unweighted GPA
(Both will go up with senior year -- taking classes I excel in)
-One of the most competitive high schools in USA (like 200something out of top 1400, ranked by Newsweek, national blue ribbon school)
-9 total (including future senior classes) AP classes - passed AP exam on all of them (although mostly 3s)
-All other non-AP classes are essentially Honors/GT
-Over 200 hours of community service
-Internship at my county's Historical Society
-4 AP classes during senior year
-around 1900 SAT
-Founded two clubs, one of which eventually grew to 50 or so members and became a school team (Ultimate Frisbee Club/Team)
-Numerous club participation
-Best Buddies peer buddy -- Had to complete interview out of a pool of numerous people and was selected to work one-on-one with a mentally handicapped student throughout the year in and out of school
-1 of 2 boys selected to act in school play as a freshman, was on stage crew for numerous play productions
-Guitar throughout high school</p>

<p>Also, I have good letters of rec from two teachers and a great college essay on a backpacking trip I did by myself from the Andes to the Amazon when I was fifteen for a month.</p>

<p>I will be majoring in some type of social studies/history major.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot, it's truly appreciated!</p>

<p>I think the essay can definitely be a hook, but your stats are a bit low. You should try bringing up both your GPA and SAT’s. I would say if you apply EDI or EDII, it would be a match given that you bring your SAT’s up to 2200. With 1900, it would be a high reach. CAS is the second hardest school to get in after Stern. A GPA above 3.85 would surely help, too.</p>
