<p>Hi. I finally registered on this site after browsing since Sophomore year.
I always like looking at this forum of what are my chances because they are really interesting and every person is unique. Well now onto me ..</p>

<p>I am currently a Junior, enrolled in one of the top Jesuit schools in the country.
I was born in the Philippines, but moved to the US.
I want to major in Business/Accounting then head off to law school preferably health care/corporate law.</p>

<p>High School - Extremely Competitive. One of the top schools in the US</p>

<p>GPA: 3.6 Unweighted.
Trend (All unweighted)
Freshman - 3.2 < -- Didn't care Freshman year. Was focused on other things.
Sophomore - 3.7
Junior - 3.9</p>

<p>ACT: 34 Composite (Took it once)</p>

<p>Class Rank: N/A School doesn't believe in class rank.</p>

<p>Classes: AP</p>

<p>AP Comparative Government - 5
APUSH - 5
French 4 AP - N/A
AP Biology - 5
AP Macro Economics - N/A
AP Stats - N/A</p>

<p>EC:</p>

<p>Student Congress (4 years) - President, went to nationals, placed as a finalist over thousands of kids. Won many awards in small to big tournaments. National recognition. Most likely will earn a scholarship for debating.</p>

<p>Essay wise - I do extremely well. I think I'm a good writer. Very creative, intuitive, and comedic.</p>

<p>Recommendations from teachers who have went to Boston College, Northwestern, U of I, and Georgetown. Alumni..</p>

<p>The only thing that brings me down is my GPA cause Freshman year killed me. But notice the extreme upwards trend. Will they take this into consideration?</p>

<p>Schools I'm interested in:</p>

<p>Georgetown
Northwestern
U of Illinois
U of Chicago
Boston College
Washington U - @ St. Louis
U of Michigan
Brown U</p>

<p>So will you take the time and please chance me?
I thank you all in advance, and I'm glad to be a part of this site.</p>

<p>Any help/feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I’m kind of stuck and I need to know where to go from here.</p>

<p>Okay pleaseeee?
Pretty please?
Would be a nice Christmas Present. Ehh?? Am I right?</p>

<p>I got into U of I , deferred at Chicago. Waiting for answer at WashU.</p>

<p>My stats looks the same as yours. Don’t know about other schools. No data to comment.</p>

<p>Let’s hope you get into WashU, U of C I have some connections, but good luck getting in. I won’t be applying for another 9 months or so.</p>

<p>Georgetown - reach
Northwestern - high match
U of Illinois - high match
U of Chicago - high match
Boston College - match
Washington U @ St. Louis - reach
U of Michigan - low reach/high match</p>

<p>Brown U</p>

7

<p>I don’t see how GT is a reach and UChicago is a high match. GT’s SAT range is low compared to UChicago/Northwestern and ranked as many as 10 spots lower sometime. I think they are about the same and if one wants to split hairs, I’d think UChicago is more reachy.</p>

8

<p>It took me a while to finally find some of the definitions of the reach,match etc.
Apparently it’s
IN - 100%
low match - 80%
match - 70
high match - 60%
low reach - 40%
reach - 20%
high reach - 10%</p>

<p>Let’s hope I do something miraculous to change all that. Maybe squeeze out a 35-36 on the ACT. Let’s gooo. Any more advice? What to do? What to change? Chances?</p>
