Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Got some new SAT results in today and was wondering how they would affect my chances! Here are my stats-</p>

<p>White Male NC Resident
GPA: ~3.6 UW (school doesn't weigh GPAs)
SATs: 2200 new scale, 1410 old scale (730 CR, 680 M, 790 W)<br>
SAT 2s: 710 Math 1, 750 US History</p>

<p>APs- AP European History 10th Grade (4 on exam)
AP US History 11th Grade
Taking AP Calculus, AP World History, and AP English next year</p>

<p>Challenging schedule for all years of HS (as many Honors/AP courses as possible).</p>

<p>Recently changed from large public HS in Upstate NY to small private HS in North Carolina.</p>

<p>ECs-
9th: Varsity Tennis Team
Junior Orchestra
10th: Varsity Tennis Team
Junior Orchestra
Model United Nations
11th (new school): Varsity Tennis Team (Captain)
Mock Trial (team advanced to state finals)
Student Volunteer Committee</p>

<p>Summers-
After 9th Grade: Lived on a military base in the Sinai Peninsula for one month, 6 miles from the Gaza strip. Fighting was still going on then so should make for an interesting essay topic if I can fit it in.</p>

<p>After 10th Grade: Went to an Aviation Camp at University of North Dakota. Also moved from New York to North Carolina.</p>

<p>After 11th Grade: Currently working as a bagger in a local grocery store, will keep this job for the remainder of the summer. </p>

<p>Good recs.</p>

<p>Looking to do ROTC and major in History (with aspirations of becoming an Army infantry officer).</p>

<p>These are the schools I am thinking of-</p>

<p>Duke (ED)
UNC-Chapel Hill (In-state)
Wake Forest
Syracuse
Boston University
University of Connecticut</p>

<p>I would appreciate any advice as to my chances, as well as my chances of winning an Army ROTC scholarship. If it helps I am an Army brat of a career officer (does ROTC factor that in?). </p>

<p>Also, what other schools should I be looking at? I like bigger schools in medium to large cities in the eastern half of the US. Looking for a good history/IR program.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!!</p>

<p>I'd say you have a great shot at all your colleges except possibly Duke. UNC isn't a definite, but I'd be surprised if you didn't get in. Wake Forest is also a match, and you have excellent chances at Syracuse and BU. Duke is becoming rather hard to predict, although applying ED will help. I'd guess deferred, but a strong essay and recommendations will help. If you get in at Duke, I don't think it's particularly hard to get an AROTC scholarship; they're always recruiting.</p>
