Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Sorry this is a repost, my original got locked.
Ok so my dream schools are: Stanford, Duke, Vanderbilt, U of Chicago, and Cornell. My decent chance schools are UCLA, Cal Poly, Whitman and Pepperdine. Safer schools are University of Washington and Arizona state. I'm a junior right now.</p>

<p>GPA(unweighted): 3.75-that's my huge problem, I don't even have a weighted gpa because I didn't take any AP classes</p>

<p>SAT 1: Taking in a couple weeks, for the sake of getting answers right now I'm assuming they'll be around 2000-2100</p>

<p>I've taken 2 honors classes and received A's in both, im in precalculus right now and senior year I will be taking AP Stats, AP Macroeconomics, AP Gov. And APES. I have all my requiered classes for admission (foreign language, ect.)
EC's
Snowboard Team
NHS
debate team(I took 3rd in the state, which led to my school's overall championship)
2 years of JV lacrosse
Club soccer for a year
Church worship Band</p>

<p>HERE'S MY UNIQUE EC(hopefully)I was a theatrical movie actor in LA for many years, I aquired starring roles in t.v. Shows, a movie, and various commercials. For the sake of anonymity I won't say which ones, but will that be a major hook for me getting into these colleges? My main role is a starring character in a very popular animated disney movie.Thank you so much for reading.</p>

<p>Okay, so I read your previous posts. I am a current Duke student, and I have a decent idea of who Duke accepts. I won’t comment on the others, but for Duke, you are missing a few things. The main thing is that you don’t have a rigorous enough schedule UNLESS you go to a very well-known, elite school where you took top classes OR your school doesn’t have rigorous enough classes. To give you an example, my SATs were in the 2000’s, I took 9 AP classes beginning in 10th grade, and I only took 1 class in high school that wasn’t the highest level offered. Saying all of this, you have a lot to make up for. Depending on your acting role, you may have a chance if you right about its impact on you for your essay. Play up that you are an actress and talk about learning from that experience. That should help you out, and it will give you the biggest chance that you have. I would also suggest focusing on trying to get into one of your dream schools and apply early decision. Since your dream schools are a big reach, applying ED will give you sometime to consider over schools that are match. Also, if you want to do pre-law, GPA is the most important factor so going to an easier school isn’t bad.</p>
