<p>Recs: really good, my teachers love me lots</p>

<p>Special issues: I moved around schools (3 moves) and thats affected my work. Also is how screwy my GPA is because of current school and weighted class. I also have a family situation to deal with. So alittle leniency would be great.</p>

<p>Schools:
Willamette
Macalester (EDII)
Grinnell
Wesleyan
Brown</p>

<p>Anyone know what I can do to show interest at Wesleyan?</p>

<p>Willamette--in
Macalester--in/low match (b/c of ED)
Grinnell--match
Weslayan--high match/reach
Brown--reach (Brown has a very high # of applicants, though.)</p>

<p>Hope this helps!</p>

<p>Yes, I agree with blqgirl exactly. You are really close at Brown, but could use another one or two points on the ACT. Wesleyan is the most 50-50 of all the schools you applied to--and you should get in to all the rest. Macalester is going to be close because of how popular it has become lately. But applying ED and your great UW GPA should do the trick.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks guys. I just got my acceptance letter to Willamette (15K, sweet). So another month I'll hear from Macalester!</p>

<p>Does anyone else want to comment on my chances?</p>

<p>Bump! A few more responses would be great.</p>

<p>This entire post seems a bit ludicrous. You're probably in everywhere except for Brown, where you might get in, depending at how seriously they look at your ACTs. What were your composite. For example, I had a 33 on my first ACT, but my composites were 35,35,35, 27 in Math, Reading, Writing, Respectivaly. Macalester told me they would discount the science since my other three scores were so good.</p>

<p>My composites were all similar so its not going to help much. I'm going to take that as a complement, thanks. I'm not trying to fish for them as much as I'm an anxious teen who doesn't know if she can get in.</p>

<p>So bump. A few more responses would be nice.</p>

<p>Willamette: In
Macalester (EDII): In
Grinnell: Probably in (75/25)
Wesleyan: 50/50
Brown: 25/75</p>

<p>I'd say that you're almost definitely in at Macalester and Grinnell, and you've already heard from Willamette.
You definitely have a good shot at Wesleyan - did you interview with them? Apparently, they actually factor in the interview in their decisions if they're on the fence.
It's hard to know about Brown...</p>
