I know I have no chance but why not chance me anyway? (will chance back)

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>So I know my grades aren't the best in science but I'm hoping I can make up for that with my extra carriculars and skills in language and journalism. I want to major in history or politics so I'm hoping my science grades dont' weigh me down as much as I think they will. I go a public school in CT that is nationally ranked and sends many kids to Ivy Leagues and Top LAC's. I haven't taken my SAT's yet(will be doing so in March). Also my course load is in the top 3% for challenging. I have some kick ass recomendations lined up and my essays will be good as well. </p>

In march? Ur a junior?
Then you have plenty of time to boost your application. good luck!</p>

<p>A lot of these depend on your score you get on SATs, those could actually make or break your application. cus youve got good ECs and grades. I recommend a job, shows commitment. </p>

<p>So im going to assume a good score, a 32 on ACT or a 2150 on SAT.
Colgate - match
Bates - match, low reach
Middlebury - reach
Tufts - match
Haverford - match</p>

<p>It seems you like the LACs. I would suggest, Carleton college in MN, Northwestern has a great journalism and theatre program, and Rice U.
Safeties: Dont really know much about those, any state school should be fine.</p>

<p>Good luck again!</p>

<p>I think you still have some time since you’re a junior. The C’s in Honors Sciences classes might hurt you, depending on your proposed major, but I think you have a pretty good chance at most of the schools you’ve applied to. Btw, your EC’s are great!</p>
