Guess whaaaaat?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Okay... I'm a senior in high school which does not rank students. I'm pretty sure I'm in the top 20% of my class though.</p>

<p>I'm white, but both my parents are immigrants from Ireland (if that helps), but my mom went to college. I live in New York.</p>

<p>My Stats:
94.899 GPA weighted = 3.95 ?
unknown unweighted</p>

<p>SAT: 1300/1600 and 1930/2400
SATIIs: Math 2: 700 US History:570...</p>

<p>But I just took it again and am hoping I got at least 700 in the math section.</p>

<p>APs Taken:
World History -4
US History - 3
Chemistry - 2...</p>

<p>APs Currently Taking:
Stats
Calculus AB
Psychology</p>

<p>I am also taking English Honors, taking Spanish V and economics. I'll also be doing senior seminar next seminar where I'll intern somewhere; I hope to intern at a bank or someplace I can learn about business.</p>

<p>I've been playing soccer for my HS 4 years, am in the national honor society, I'm the secretary of the Science Honor Society, treasurer of the soccer club and I'm a delegate for the Student Organization. I'm also a member of the Spanish Honor Society and Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honor Society). I am the sales manager of the Event Staff of our school plays and am responsible for calculating profits, expenses and such.</p>

<p>I've been working as a lifeguard since last November and was recently promoted to Pool Manager.</p>

<p>I've been an altar boy since 1998. I now am the leader of the altar servers and serve as their mentor; I teach all new servers how to serve. I also am an assistant teacher for religious education for 1.5 hours a week.</p>

<p>I want to go to a good school for business... My top choices as of now include...</p>

<p><strong>Villanova</strong>
Binghamton
Boston College
<em>Lehigh University</em>
Colgate University
University of Maryland, College Park
Bentley College
Boston University
Babson College
Providence College
University of Scranton (safety)
Fordham University (not interested, but for mom)</p>

<p>Please tell me what you think my chances are like!</p>

<p>Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>Your 94.899 is actually about a 3.99 GPA and you should be in the top 5% of your school with that score.</p>

<p><strong>Villanova</strong> - Match and possible scholarship
Binghamton - Safe Match
Boston College - Match to Slight Reach (closer to match)
<em>Lehigh University</em>--Match and some scholarships/grant money likely
Colgate University--Match to Slight Reach (small scholarship if accepted)
University of Maryland, College Park (OOS) - Match to Slight Reach (no scholarship)
Bentley College - Safe Match
Boston University - Safe Match
Babson College - Match (likely small scholarship)
Providence College - Safety to Safe Match
University of Scranton (safety) - agree, safety
Fordham University (not interested, but for mom) - Safe Match to Match</p>

<p>Best business schools of those listed above are (in-order):
Boston College/Babson (only in entrepreneurship, though)
then Villanova/Maryland/Fordham/Boston University/Bentley/Lehigh
then Binghamton
then Providence</p>

<p>Colgate does not offer a business major to my knowledge (LAC) and I'm not familiar enough with Scranton to rate their business program</p>

<p>Colgate actually doesn't offer merit-based scholarships, only need-based financial aid. While there isn't a "business" program, there is an incredibly strong Economics department, and students from every major have gone on to get their MBA or positions at prestigious financial firms in NYC. There's a very loyal and helpful alumni network as well.</p>

<p>Wow, Calcruzer... I didn't think I would have such great chances! </p>

<p>Thank you for the response, Lydia. Does anyone else have an opinion?</p>

5

<p>no one else?</p>

6

<p>come on guys....</p>

7

<p>I'd really appreciate it!!!</p>

8

<p>why is it so hard to get a chance IN A CHANCES THREAD? =(</p>

9

<p>Purely from a stats perspective, as I'm not totally familiar with all these: </p>

<p><strong>Villanova</strong>- match
Binghamton- match
Boston College- high match-slight reach, though the well roundedness will help
<em>Lehigh University</em>- high match-slight reach
Colgate University- match
University of Maryland, College Park- match
Bentley College- match- slgiht safety
Boston University- definate match
Babson College- safe match
Providence College- safety
University of Scranton (safety)- safety
Fordham University (not interested, but for mom)- match</p>

<p>i think youll get into all of them. maybe a rejection or two but this isnt very likely</p>

11

<p>thanks all!</p>

12

<p>If you didn't know anything about half the colleges listed, would YOU try chancing someone? I don't think so. People chance profusely for colleges that are similar to the ones in their range and/or they have knowledge about. Like me, I don't have any familiarity with... 8 out of your 10 colleges.</p>

<p>Your GPA is pretty good, your SATs are above average, and your classes are nice. You have a solid chance at your schools.</p>

13

<p>thanks... and you'rew right... but what would this entire board be based upon, if we didn't ask people's opinions on matters they might know nothing about?</p>

14

<p>hey guys...</p>

15

<p>You've already got 3 people telling you you're in everywhere...so chill. You're in a lot better position with your schools than most of us can hope to be with ours.</p>

16

<p>Everyone worries about college. Maybe I just get more worked up.</p>

17

<p>You may. But what I'm trying to say is...you get worked up unnecessarily. Bumping your thread SEVEN times? Really.</p>

<p>buummmpppp!</p>
