<p>k so I know these chances things are probably annoying but i cant really predict this myself!
can anyone guess my chances for the honors college? </p>

<p>f, newton MA (right outside boston)
my school is very competitive, it is ranked 4th in massachusetts including private schools, and had the most national merit scholarship semi-finalists for public schools in New England</p>

<p>GPA weighted: 4.2ish uw-umm lets not talk about it.. haha
sat: 1980
sat II: history 660, literature 620
AP/honors: soph: history, english
junior: AP history- 5 on exam, honors english and latin (no AP offered to juniors)
this year: AP Government, AP Literature, Honors Latin (No AP offered) </p>

<p>EC's: Captain of indoor track- one of the top teams in the state, individually i'm not great, top 5 or 6 in the league though and improving.
3 years indoor track, 4 years outdoor track, Cross-Country team manager 2 years (team was 6th in the nation this year)<br>
town intramural basketball- #1 team 2 out of 3 years, assistant coach for younger teams, referee assistant coordinator for whole league
Prozdor Hebrew High School, student 3 years, teaching assistant this year
School Newspaper- sports editor, paper placed 6th at national scholastic press association's annual conference </p>

<p>my essays should be good writing is one of my strengths, i wrote about being a captain because of my passion for sportsmanship not because of my ability as a runner (my co captains have all placed nationally in their respective events, i have never even been ranked in the state), and for my honors essay my interest in Latin and why I like it </p>

<p>all feedback is helpful and ill happily do the same for anyone else, thanks!</p>

<p>Your stats certainly are impressive with the exception of Your SAT's being on the lower end for the Honors program. You should definitely get accepted at UD! As i just suggested in the other thread, go to the Honors Progarm at UD website, and you'll find the class profile of last year's accepted students which will give you a better idea of your chances for the Honors Program. Good luck! My son is a freshman in the Honors program and loves UD!</p>

<p>Your chances are good IMO. My S had similar academics and EC's and was accepted to the honors program. He also had great rec's. Good luck!!</p>
