<p>Hey everyone. So all of the schools I want to go to have a higher ACT average than what I have but I thought I'd see what everyone thought my chances were for them anyway. Thanks :)</p>

<p>ACT: 27. I don't really know what happened, but this is my score and I doubt i'll have time to retake with my schedule.
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0):3.8</p>

<p>AP: French, Spanish Language, Spanish Literature, Chemistry, Calculus
IB (place score in parenthesis):Full IB <---death. School that does the IB program won very prestigious award for international focus.</p>

<p>Senior Year Course Load:
@ High School :
AP Spanish
AP Chemistry
AP/IB Spanish Literature
IB Lit
IB History
IB theory of knowledge
IB Projects
@ College
Calculus for Engineers,International Economics and a business course
( On my last listing I wrote AP at school but I decided to take it at the college instead and forgot to update it. and i forgot that i was taking Econ and business in the winter and spring term, so I forgot)
Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): none</p>

<p>Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): </p>

<p>Varsity Tennis (captain), Varsity Soccer ( captain), ASB President, NHS, Drama( costumes), EIHS President ( the IB school, that won goldman sach's award for international focus, inside of my school, i can explain if I need to), on the YAT which is a group of students on the board of education for my state. we are advisors for the superintendent.</p>

<p>Volunteer/Community service: Over 150 hours, 100 in spanish by senior year. I started and lead a group that goes around my city and helps hispanics that are having trouble with school because of a language barrier and tutor them one on one. By the end of senior year, i would guess that I would have 200+</p>

<p>Summer Activities: Taking a course at University and doing community service. Also visiting colleges.
Essays: I have a couple ideas. Talking about teachers and how they transformed me. Especially french. Then one talking about how being a leader has helped me accomplish things and stuff like that. They sound cool to me

<p>A 30-31 would raise your chances astronomically. Or try the SAT for a 2100.</p>

3

<p>Unless you retake your ACT, I would say no to all. I would definitely retake them or give SAT a try.</p>

4

<p>Okay, I don’t really know what i’m going to do. I missed the registration for the ACT, so I guess i’m gonna have to take the SATs. :/</p>

5

<p>not to be pesimistic here, but you wouldn’t be “in” even with a 36 at most of those schools.</p>

6

<p>oh, sorry my title is a little bit misleading. By no means did I think I would be “in” but I was told that I would be a competitive applicant.</p>

7

<p>yeah, pretty much.</p>

<p>thats too bad.</p>

<p>ACT is vital, drop a class if you have to.</p>

8

<p>I read where you said you didn’t think you’d be able to retake because of your schedule and admittedly thought “yeah, yeah, i’ll bet”… and then I scrolled down and saw your schedule. Haha! </p>

<p>Try the SAT practice test on their website though and see how you do on it. It’ll give you an idea of how much work you’ve got to do. (: Let us know your score!</p>
