First chances thread!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey everyone, just signed up for this forum, I was a lurker for about a month starting before I took the SAT and now I'm getting involved!
I'm a current junior, and I just want to see what kind of track I'm on.</p>

<p>Stats:
SAT: 2350 (800 CR 800 M 750 W) - first try, so single sitting.
SAT2: Math 2 770, probably Chemistry and English at the end of the year.
W GPA: Around 4.48, I haven't seen it exactly from last semester but close to that.
UW GPA: I'll have to ask my GC, but as far as I know 4.0
Rank: Valedictorian, but I go to a tiny school so thats out of about 40.
Current courseload: Honors US History, AP English, AP Chemistry, AP French, AP Calculus BC.
I wont outright predict AP scores but I got 5 equivalents on each midterm.
Planned senior classes: AP European History, AP Physics C, Multivariable Calculus (post AP), Writing for College (post AP), and maybe some kind of French independent study.
(My school actually has a 3 AP per year limit, I already had to get special permission for 4. So I couldn't do much more :) )</p>

<p>ECs
Soccer: 4 years varsity, 2 years captain during HS. Also play (and start) for a decent club thats gotten to semis and quarterfinals in state cup. What's very helpful is that my club coach is also a college coach (at Oberlin) so he has contacts and connections with many potential schools.
Mock Trial: Varsity team (out of 4) for 3 of 4 years of HS. Been to regionals twice so far, and I have gotten at least 1 best attorney award.
Model UN 2 years
JETS (Junior engineering something) 2 years</p>

<p>Around 100 hours volunteering at a camp that teaches underprivileged kids math using soccer. </p>

<p>White male
No financial aid; my parents are both college professors.</p>

<p>Hopeful schools:
HPYS, AWSP
Haverford
Middlebury
Carleton
UChicago
Colorado College</p>

<p>Also feel free to suggest other schools! Will also chance back I guess, now that I have that power :)</p>

<p>Also let me know if I forgot anything really important, because I probably did. Thanks!</p>

<p>Thanks. I guess that’s pretty much what I’ve learned here, that these schools are just universal reaches.
Focus on essays and extracurriculars from here on out, and just hope.</p>

<p>Now that I have a thread I was wondering, is it any help to have relatives that aren’t immediate “legacy” members employed at potential colleges? Basically my aunt teaches at Stanford and I’m curious whether that would help me.</p>

<p>Bump for last question?</p>

<p>And I suppose more chances, if the fancy strikes you…</p>

<p>Looks really great. I think that everything except U of Chicago would be a high match, but still possible.
Chance me back?
