Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>White male junior, AR</p>

<p>GPA - 4.04 (currently), should be around 4.23 upon graduation, have NO idea about unweighted</p>

<p>SAT: 1970
CR: 700
M: 640
W: 630</p>

<p>SAT IIs: will be taking U.S. History and World History in June, history is my absolute high point, and I expect a score from around a 720-780</p>

<p>PSAT: 202</p>

<p>ACT: none</p>

<p>APs - sophomore:
US History - 5</p>

<p>APs - junior:
Euro - most likely 5
US Gov't - most likely 5
Human Geography - 4 or 5
Lang. and Comp. - most likely 4</p>

<p>APs - senior:
Will be taking 6 APs in senior year as well, for a grand total of 11</p>

<p>Course load: mostly AP and honors, with a few electives here and there, 5 years of French</p>

<p>Class Rank/School: all students with >4.0 GPAs are ranked #1 out of a class of about 750. School is one of the best in the state, or so they say.</p>

<p>ECs, Volunteering, etc.: decent, not spectacular (a few officer positions, strong dedication to a couple), don't feel the need to list them all out.</p>

<p>Colleges, in no particular order:
Illinois (legacy, mother's PhD, father's MA)
Wisconsin
Michigan (legacy, father's PhD)
NYU
Boston U
Northwestern
Swarthmore
UChicago (legacy, grandfather, not sure of level of degree)
UPenn</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>P.S. - I'd kinda like to think of some safeties...any ideas? Only requirements - must be in the northeast or midwest, must be urban/close to an urban center, must be as close to a guarantee as possible. Thanks again!</p>

<p>ECs could be stronger but you’re a great applicant! Extremely rigorous workload; unfortunately my school only offers three AP classes, and it’s a really small school.</p>

<p>Illinois (legacy, mother’s PhD, father’s MA) - low match
Wisconsin - low match
Michigan (legacy, father’s PhD) - high match
NYU - low reach
Boston U - low match
Northwestern - reach
Swarthmore - reach
UChicago (legacy, grandfather, not sure of level of degree) - reach, possibly lower because of legacy
UPenn - reach (of course)</p>

<p>… either way, you’re bound to find a place you can call home, you have great credentials :)</p>

<p>Chance back?

Michigan- match
NYU- match (unless you’re applying to stern- then it’s a reach)
Boston U- match/in
Northwestern- reach
Swarthmore- reach
UChicago- match
