Finalizing College List- chance me?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I’m a rising senior and trying to finalize my list of schools. I realize that right now my list is kind of long. As of right now, I want to go for undergrad business, probably majoring in Marketing. If you could chance me or share any insights I’d really appreciate it!!</p>

<p>Schools I’m thinking about:
UPenn
Georgetown
Tufts
UVA
BC
Wake Forest
Lehigh
University of Richmond
Northeastern
Villanova
Fordham
Providence College</p>

<p>Stats:
4.27 Weighted Cumulative GPA
My school doesn’t rank but I’m in the top 5-10%
2220 SAT SuperScore (780 Writing, 700 Reading, 740 Math)
710 SAT Subject Test- Chemistry
740 SAT Subject Test- Mathematics Level 1
31 ACT with Writing (only took it once but probably won’t take again/ might not send scores because I did better on SAT)
AP Lang and Comp- 5
AP Chemistry- 3 (I know this really isn’t good)</p>

<p>Took Marketing and Advanced Advertising during high school (for advertising we made an ad campaign for a real company and presented it to them)</p>

<p>Next year taking AP Lit, AP Spanish, AP Physics 1, Intro to Calc, AP MEH</p>

<p>Academic Awards:
Math Honor Society
English Honor Society
Spanish Honor Society
National Honor Society
Tri-M (Music Honor Society)
Science Honor Society
Book Award from Dickinson</p>

<p>EC:
Drama Club (no leads, just supporting parts/solos)
Make-a-Wish
Future Business Leaders of America (Secretary)
Key Club (Publicity Officer)
School Acapella Group
Local Church Youth Group
County Children’s Choir
School Leadership Club
Relay for Life (Since 7th grade, have been a captain twice)
Appalachian Service Project Volunteer (Summers of 2013, 2014)
School Choir
Summer of 2013 I spent 100 hours volunteering at a local theater camp for kids</p>

<p>Essays:
Not finalized but as of right now probably about how when I was younger my mother miscarried and then a year later my brother was born with Down syndrome and how his disability has affected me and made me a more compassionate, understanding person.</p>

<p>Recommendations:
One from my business teacher who I’ve had twice and loved me- will be a very strong recommendation and might look good for business schools</p>

<p>For schools that require one from a counselor, my counselor knows me pretty well and has a meeting about our letter before she writes it, so I think it will be strong. </p>

<p>Can’t decide for my other letter between a history teacher I had junior year (whose class I kind of struggled in) or a history teacher I had sophomore year (and did well) and will have again senior year for AP MEH. Any suggestions would be great!</p>

<p>Thanks so much for any help or suggestions you can share!! I'll chance you if you ask!</p>

<p>UPenn - reach (I’m assuming you’re looking at Wharton)
Georgetown - high match
Tufts - match
UVA - match (high match if OOS)
BC - match
Wake Forest - match
Lehigh - match
University of Richmond - match (high match if you’re looking at Richmond Scholars)
Northeastern - match
Villanova - match
Fordham - safety
Providence College -safety</p>

<p>I think you have a great balance in your list and you probably won’t have any problems getting into the majority of the schools. The only thing is that your CR+M combined is only a 1440 and if you’re looking to solidify your place at the top schools, I say you should try to bump it up to a 1500. I’m having the same problem as well haha. Otherwise your essay topic seems solid and your ECs are also great. Best of luck!</p>

<p>First, take the math 2. That carries so much more weight than the math 1. Other than that, you have a solid SAT1 score and GPA. Your EC’s are decent but lack of sports may hurt you. </p>

<p>Upenn should be high reach,
tufts/uva/georgetown should be reach,
wake forest, lehigh, northeastern should be high match,
all else should be match</p>

<p>Please chance me back!

<p>UPenn would definitely need SAT Math II especially if you’re applying to Wharton. Nearly all the applicants will have SAT Math II dw the curve for SAT Math II is pretty lenient and if you’re strong in Pre-Calculus and it shouldn’t be very hard just practice. But I would say it’s a reach. The degree of how reachable it is will depend on your essays so nail that Why Penn essay.
Georgetown/Tufts would be a reach as well
UVA/Wake Forest looks like a good shot/ high match.
The rest would be match </p>

<p>Chance me if you can buddy
