Help me out with my chances?? Thanks.

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey y'all, I'm a sophomore. I know I have some time before applying to college, but could you guys evaluate my shots?? I know what I'm doing next year anyways.</p>

<p>Oh, by the way: I'm graduating early at the end of my junior year and then taking a gap year before I apply to college. My gap year will be spent abroad doing four different projects; a Thai photography expedition, an African game reserve project, a Belize, Costa Rica or Spanish trip (orphanage/general community service) and then another service-related project. I think this'll boost my chances, which is why I'm telling y'all, but more importantly that's why I won't be listing anything for my senior year.
All right, here we go.</p>

<p>Female, white, live in NC
Graduated at 15, applying while 16

All honors when possible, 3 APs junior year
Like I said, two Bs freshman year (GPA: 4.2 W, 3.7 UW)
All As sophomore year (GPA: 4.5 W, 4.0 UW)

<p>idk... but if I was the adcom, I would doubt if I should accept a 16 girl to a college...</p>

3

<p>thats bull****. As long as you can prove that your apt for college, you'll be fine. uChicago accepted a 9-year-old a few years ago into medical school, since he proved that he was able. age doesnt matter at all.</p>

<p>I said I don't know!</p>

5

<p>Just so y'all know, I'll be turning 17 pretty much as soon as I get to college. I know maturity is definitely a valid concern, but I'm hoping it won't be seen as too big a problem.</p>

6

<p>I seriously doubt your age will be a problem</p>

7

<p>But a 1500 on the SAT????? I hope that's on the 1600 scale, but if not...</p>

8

<p>^Well looking at her other numbers, its pretty obvious thats on a 1600 scale</p>

9

<p>I have a 3.3 GPA if I told you I got a 1500 on the SAT you would probably think it's on the 2400 scale, but I didn't take the SAT; however, I got a 35 on my ACT :)</p>

10

<p>Can anyone help with chances?? And yeah, it's definitely on the 1600 scale. :)</p>

11

<p>anyone?? pleeeease?? :)</p>

12

<p>All I can say is that I think you have a legit shot anywhere</p>
