<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I'm a current freshman at Haverford AND I'm on fall break (which means I have lots of time). </p>
<p>So,</p>
<p>fire away!</p>
<p>Hey woohoo, please give me your opinion on my chances at Haverford:
Chances for Early Decision Please
Male</p>
<p>New England Public High School That sends ~20% to HYPSM, top LAC's, Ivies, etc (EXTREMELY good reputation)</p>
<p>SAT I: 2100; 690 CR, 710 M, 700 W
SAT II: 730 Chemistry, 800 Math II</p>
<p>AP: Biology 5</p>
<p>GPA: 3.98 Unweighted (3 Honors/year-Most Rigorous Courseload Possible)
*School does NOT Rank (I think I'm top 5% though) or do Weighted GPA or have AP courses (we have Honors)</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
-4 Years of Class Committee
-50 Hours of Community Service
- 4 Years of Varsity Cross Country (State Team Champion), and I'm the CAPTAIN
-3 Years of Varsity Winter Track (State Qualifier), and I'm the CAPTAIN
-3 Years of Varsity Spring Track (State Qualifier), and I'm the CAPTAIN
-4 Weeks of Foreign Language Program in Spain, Summer After Junior Year (Got a Full Scholarship)
-4 Years of School Chorus</p>
<p>Essays:
-Pretty darn good, but not amazing</p>
<p>Recommendations:
-Absolutely Amazing</p>
<p>Basically, I want to go to Haverford College because of its honor code; I seem to live by the same rule and truly believe in it. I'm very self-motivated, and I have morals.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Ok, I'm really not qualified to do the whole chances thing, but I can post my stats and why I think I got in.</p>
<p>White Jewish Girl from the East Coast</p>
<p>2/220 at a mediocre (at best) inner city public school
Something really close to a 4.0 for GPA</p>
<p>660R
690W
700M</p>
<p>610 French
590 Math I</p>
<p>IB Diploma (so hardest course load)</p>
<p>Really phenomenal recommendations
Really phenomenal essays </p>
<p>The best interview</p>
<p>EC:</p>
<p>I tutored second graders at a local elementary school for 1.5 hours a week since 9th grade</p>
<p>Government club at school since 10th grade</p>
<p>Taught sex education to middle schoolers as a junior and senior (and got paid!)</p>
<p>Worked in a lab at a local university as a junior and senior. </p>
<p>I think I got into Haverford for two reasons
1)I was really able to show why I wanted to be at Haverford. I had clear and thoughtful reasons that I was able to articulate during my interview and in the honor code essay.</p>
<p>2)My essays were really good. Good essays go looong way and can make up for crappy test scores. </p>
<hr>
<p>It looks like you have as good a chance as any to get in. A better chance then I had for sure. I would work on you essays and make them show who you are and why Haverford fits you. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>thanks a lot</p>
<p>if your still taking questions
