Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello! I'm a high school junior and I'm just trying to get a gage on my chances as I'm signing up for next year's courses.</p>

<p>This quarter my grades have sunk because I've been away and sick, but in general I get As and B+s, I do a few extra curricular activities passionately, and I have a lot of leadership stuff.</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA for freshman and sophomore years: 4.02 (we go by the Manitoba GPA scale)
Weighted GPA for freshman and sophomore years: 4.48</p>

<p>Freshman classes (mostly nondescript prereqs with the hardest level available in each): English IH, Global IH, Spanish II, French I, Physics H (this is an upperclassman course in my school and that's noted on my transcript), Health and gym, Band, and Advanced Alg. II H</p>

<p>Sophomore classes (again, hardest level available): English IIH, Spanish IV H (skipped Spanish III), French II, Chemistry H, gym, Advanced Pre-Calc H, AP World History</p>

<p>Junior classes:
AP Bio, AP Calc AB, AP Lang Comp, AP US history, AP Spanish Language, French III, Photo I and II</p>

<p>I'm also very involved in my youth group both locally and internationally, do Key Club and volunteer with children with special needs, am in Model UN, tutor, and play three instruments.</p>

<p>BUT I'm not a good test taker. On the Jan. SAT I got 690 CR, 730M, 760W, 2180 total. I took it again yesterday but may cancel my scores because i don't think I did well.</p>

<p>Any ideas on my chances for those schools (georgetown, American, UPenn, and a scholarship to UMD)? Also, any recommendations to help?</p>

<p>oh and next year as of now I'm planning on taking 4APs, French IVH, International Relations, and Moral Issues in Lit H and I want to go into International Policy as my major or something similar</p>

<p>Thanks so much!!!</p>

<p>You are a very solid candidate and have proved that you worked hard all throughout high school.
Georgetown- you are definitely a solid candidate but given the harsh competitiveness, it’s a low reach. If you strengthen up ECs it could be a high match.
American- safety
UPenn- reach
scholarship at UMD- I think you would definitely get a scholarship to UMD. I know several people that have not nearly with the same GPA/ courseload as you. </p>

<p>Chance back? (:
