Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>General Info: female, New Jersey, notably difficult public high school</p>

<p>Academics: 96.5 average (2nd decile) all honors and AP through HS (except 2)</p>

<p>SATs: 680 math/600 reading (I am taking them one more time and am getting tutored for my reading, so my scores will definitely go up! I was very upset when I realized that Gettysburg doesn't accept the writing score because that was my highest)</p>

<p>Senior Year Schedule: Executive Student Council Class(treasurer), AP Literature, AP Government and Politics, AP European History, Honors Spanish, Honors Calculus, Education as a Career</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: Future Educators (President of club and State Officer), Executive Student Council, Writing Club (publicist), Current Events Club
I also went to a leadership camp for 3 years and just came back from an academy for future teachers!</p>

<p>Community service: Center for Food Action (100+ hours), Tutoring at library (30+h), started my own community service club at school</p>

<p>I want to be an American History teacher and Gettysburg is definitely my #1 choice by far!</p>

<p>If you haven’t made the official trip and interview at Gettysburg, do it. They like it when you show them some love. You look to be a very strong candidate, probably in line for some sort of scholarship. Best of luck to you!</p>

<p>Gettysburg: Match (beware the waitlist)</p>

<p>What’s your problem with TCNJ or Ramapo? Or do you want to teach history in another state?</p>

<p>I already visited there two times and am going again in about a week. I’ll be taking another trip for an interview and for more visits, so I think they know that I love it there! :slight_smile: Thank you for your response- that’s great to hear!<br>
I was also wondering, if others from my school apply, will that lower my chances? Will I be compared to them?</p>

<p>Catria- TCNJ is definitely my second choice- it’s perfect for future teachers! It’s funny that you’d mention Ramapo because I actually live in the same town as Ramapo, so that’s too close for me! Haha!
I am not sure which state I want to teach in yet, but I was told that New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and other states close by have similar assesments and courses, so it does not matter which state I go to college in and teach in.</p>

<p>I only mentioned Ramapo as a safety because it wasn’t that big a state college; Rutgers SAS was probably too big a college for you.</p>

7

<p>Yeah! That makes sense! And yes, Rutgers is definitely too big for me- Ideally, I’d like around 2,500 students</p>
