Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>So hopefully my "creative" title got you interested in this chances post haha
I'm a sophmore this year so I haven't taken that many SAT's yet. But based on my work load and grades let me know if I have a chance at Dartmouth, Cornell, and Tufts.</p>

<p>White Female
Highly competitive public high school in good suburban town in New England (3rd in state)
GPA: As of end of Freshman Year: UW: 3.7; W: 4.2</p>

<p>Rank: We don't rank but I'd say top 10 %</p>

<p>Freshman Year (Final Year Grades):
Spanish Honors: A
History Honors: B+
English Honors: B+
Biology Honors: B
Geo Honors: B- (Yeah, I know this was bad haha)</p>

<p>Sophmore Year:
Chem Honors: Getting an A/A- so far
Spanish Honors: Getting an A so far
Alg 2 Honors: Getting a B so far
History Honors: Getting a B+/A- so far
English Honors: Getting a B/B+ so far</p>

<p>Junior Year: (These are the classes I plan on taking and reminder that my school only lets you take AP classes starting junior year)
AP Stats
Trig Honors
AP Bio
Spanish Honors
English Honors
AP History (how much would it hurt me if I took an AE history class since AP/H is the same?)</p>

<p>SAT I : Not taken yet
SAT II Biology E: 660 (plan to retake after AP Bio)
Might take SAT II Chem this year</p>

<p>EC's:
Section Editor of School Newspaper since Freshman year (hopefully Editor - in - Chief senior year?)
Varsity Volleyball and Club Volleyball (very into volleyball especially since I was injured this year and had to miss a season but got back into it faster than doctor said I would, big acomplishment for me)
Track
Photo Club
My friends and I started a community service club where we help out at a nursing home. We did this ourselves but then got our whole school community involved and now its a big thing at our school.
Community Service Hours: over 100 this year and hopefully each year</p>

<p>Well I think that's about it. Thank you for reading this far haha. And please do comment and let me know if I have any chance of getting into those three colleges and what I can improve on. Thanks!</p>

<p>Reject as you currently stand due to low GPA and SAT II scores. </p>

<p>Correct me if I'm wrong, but you stated that your UW GPA is 3.7 with Four Bs and One A. Your school may do it differently, but usually A=4, B=3, giving you a 3.2 UW GPA.</p>

<p>Improve your scores and GPA, your ECs are looking fine.</p>

<p>Our school also takes into account any other classes we are taking (such as gym, electives like art, photography, etc) which all count towards our unweighted GPA. Since I got A's in all those classes it boosted my GPA but I just didn't bother writing those down since only the 5 major classes count for weighted.
What would you say a good SAT score and GPA would be?</p>

4

<p>2100
3.7 uw gpa</p>

<p>study hard and come back in a year or so and people will be able to better gauge your chances</p>

5

<p>i agree with what has been said, but how do your freshmen year grades end up being a 3.7 UW?</p>

<p>doesn't an A = 4.0, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7? if so your UW gpa is actually a 3.3.</p>

6

<p>2200 and 3.9+ for dartmouth</p>

<p>Anyone else?
You guys are all being really helpful :)
And I'm also asking for chances for Tufts and Cornell, not just Dartmouth.
Thanks!</p>
