Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>General: Rising Senior, Male, Alabama.</p>

<p>Ethnicity: White.</p>

<p>Career Interests: Dentistry, culinary arts, broadcasting, Spanish (not as a career, but if I double majored). </p>

<p>School Info: Our school first opened in 2005 when I was a Freshman. I'll be apart of the first four-year graduating class. My school became an IB school this past year, however, you have to be a Freshman when you begin the IB program, so I wasn't able to participate in the program.</p>

<p>School Stats: GPA: 4.0 Unweighted. 4.083 Weighted. This year was the first year we could take APs, and I got an A in both of those classes (AP US/AP 11 English). Senior year I should have 4 AP classes, and an honors Spanish 5 class which'll be on a 4.5 scale? lol. That's just what my Spanish teacher told me. Anyway, If I get all A's again, I should complete high school with just over a 4.2 weighted GPA. Toughest courseload offered.</p>

<p>Rank: 1/200+ (not sure on exact #, obviously).</p>

<p>*Testing: *
30 on ACT.</p>

<p>EC's:
-National Honor Society (1 year; Senior year)
-National Spanish Honors Society
-Spanish Club President (4 years; President - Senior year)
-School Webmaster (1 year; Senior year)
-Varsity football Quarterback. (Freshman year we just worked out because we didn't get a coaching staff in time. Sophomore year I was the Varsity backup (although I did play in some Varsity games), started JV and was the captain of JV. Junior year, I was the starter and team captain and was second on the team in touchdowns---only behind our all-metro WR/RB. Senior year...I doubt I'll play. All of our coaches were fired and I knew back in November that I was done. I worked harder than anyone, and I was just sick of the BS. I was no longer happy playing, so I will just move on. Yeah, the attention that goes along with being the quarterback is cool, but that's not what matters. Happiness matters, not highschool "fame".
-I had a Private quarterback coach for football for 2 years. I would go to school from 8-3:10. Football practice from 3:30 to sometimes 6:30, and then a two hour session with private QB coach after that. I did that in the football season and in the summer for 3-4 times a week.
-Art. I placed 3rd in state for a 2D art contest. I also got honorable mention in state for this "Post-Card" contest.
-Quiz Bowl (2 years - fresh year we didn't have it, soph year I did it, this past year I tried to do it but it was SO unorganized, and I'm going to do it Senior year).
-A college preparation website for highschool students (Coming Soon still under construction)
-If I don't play football, I'm either going to do Mixed Martial Arts, play Piano, or play Baseball or Soccer in the spring. A job is a possibility, as well as getting a trainer at the gym (lol, only feels right considering I won't be playing football).</p>

<p>Community Service:
-This summer I'll get around 150-200 hours with Big Brothers, Big Sisters. I've gotten around 70 at my Uncle's golf course, and another 10 or so with Spanish-club related stuff.</p>

<p>*Awards: *
-Letter from the Mayor acknowledging my achievements in highschool due to seeing me featured in the newspaper.
-Principal's Award.
-A honor roll.</p>

<h2>-As stated before, 3rd in state in 2D art competition, honorable mention in another contest, and 2nd in state in this QuizBowl-esque thing for this Spanish competition (same event that I won 3rd in state in for Art). </h2>

<p>you chances are better than byron leftwich's chances of ever being as good as David Garrard.</p>

<p>seriously, you are probably matches for all of them except Columbia is a reach and Cornell and Chicago are low reaches (although the fact that you're from alabama definitely helps)</p>

<p>if you could play football at cornell, columbia, chicago that would help a ton.</p>

<p>its nice to see some sports fans on these forums; it seems like everybody else is focused on academics to the exclusion of everything else</p>

3

<p>do you go to Hoover high school ?</p>

4

<p>LOL. Byron is as good as Garrard, but Garrard just fits in that system better.</p>

<p>I doubt I'll go to an Ivy, but I just wanted to see what people thought of me getting into the top schools because if you don't have the top schools to get chanced by, you don't tend to get many responses.</p>

<p>And no, I don't go to Hoover. I'm north of Hoover.</p>

Auburn (Honors College - Admission ) (accepted )
The rest are tough I think your ACT needs to improve for them , and I think the East Coast schools like SAT better but don't quote me on that please chance me if you don't mind</p>

7

<p>I don't know, dude. On collegeboard, they have the new middle-50% out, and I'm in the middle 50% for all of them, IIRC.</p>

<p>I'm taking SAT in September again in hopes of a higher score, but idk if that'll happen because I haven't had ANY time to study.</p>

8

<p>leftwich is good enough to be a backup behind the best young QB in the NFL:
Ben Roethlisberger</p>

<p>You?</p>

<p>You're a little bit better than that! LOL!</p>

<p>Good luck with everything.</p>

<p>Being from Alabama will be a significant boost at the private schools, and its certainly worth applying to some elite schools you like, because it can very easily be one of those years where they badly need dudes from alabama.</p>

<p>Byron Leftwich is to the NFL as the una-bomber was to the postal service. That is all I have to say.</p>

16

<p>I'd think you'd have a good chance at UChicago. Your ACT is in the middle 50% there, your GPA is great, and what I think would be a big plus there - you're varsity QB. UChicago has made a lot of efforts to attract students outside the typical UChicago applicant, and an athlete fits that bill.</p>

17

<p>good shot. at places like Colubmia, Cornell, UChicago admissions decisions will always be a tad screwy but work on your test scores and I like your chances. </p>

<p>But honestly, David Garrard is wayyy better than Leftwich. Leftwich didnt work in Jax's system or Atlanta's. Garrard led the team to a playoff run and gave them a chance to win against the Pats before being eliminated. Plus Garrard is much more exciting to watch with his speed and ability to make things happen on the ground. Look for Jacksonville to take away the Colts' spot atop the AFC South this year!</p>

18

<p>Thanks. </p>

<p>I'm taking ACT again next week, but I doubt it'll be better than a 30. I haven't had a chance to study due to school. </p>

<p>Leftwich didn't fit Jax's system, correct. However, the Atlanta example is garbage. It was a hell-hole last season there. Leftwich led the Jaguars to the playoffs. A 3:1 TD to INT ratio and was 9th in the league in passer rating when he got injured against the Cardinals. Yes, Garrard did his job very well the rest of the season, but the strength of schedule the last 4 games was beyond easy. And oh how people forget the 2006 season that Garrard had. Phenomenal, eh?</p>

<p>If you are interested in Notre Dame, I would suggest working on that ACT score. Also, concentrate on your essay. Good Luck!</p>
