Jenny From The Block Wants To Go To College

<p>I have post-application stress disorder. I'll be on vacation when the decisions come in so I'll be finding out even later than everyone else... scary. Do you guys have predictions for my colleges, my genius CCers? i.e. waitlisted, rejected, accepted</p>

<p>School: private, one of the top 10 feeder schools in US - I'm a scholarship student.
Grades: No Ranking, 2% of Senior Class with A avg (that's about 3 kids)
My Grades: UW
Freshman Yr: I had just come from an inner-city public school so I had to adjust.
Biology B+; English B+; Algebra 1 B; World History B; French 1 B-, + Geometry (Over Summer) A
Sophmore Yr: French 2 A-; US History: A-; Algebra 2 & Trig: B+; Chemistry B+; English B+
Junior Yr: French 3 Honors: A; Precalc AB Honors: A-; English A-; AP US History A-; Physics B+
First Trimester Senior Year: Notice The Slight Drop?
AP Biology: A; AP French Lang: A-; English B+; AP Calc AB: B; Stage Acting (Major Course) B</p>

<p>PSAT: National Hispanic Scholar
SAT I: 2100, 720 CR, 700 M, 680 Writing
SAT II: 790 Math 2, 740 Spanish, 700 US Hist, 700 Writing</p>

<p>ECs: 4 Yrs of Varsity Winter Track, 3 Yrs of Varsity Lacrosse, 4 Yrs of Choir, 3 Yrs of Vocal Lessons, 138 Hours of Comm. Service, Danced Intensively For 10 Years but Have Taken It Much Less Seriously During High School, Treasurer of Cultural Diveristy Club</p>

<p>Background: 1st Generation Hispanic, Below Poverty Level, I'm Sure. My Father Didn't Go To Highschool, My Mother Went to College in Home-Country but Doesn't Work</p>

<p>Okay, College List:
Tufts; Colgate; Boston College; Bucknell; George Washington; Northeastern; Yale Hardy Har; Princeton You Can Continue Laughing...; UPenn; Columbia; Dartmouth; Cornell; Georgetown</p>

<p>George Washington is notorious for rejecting overqualified applicants.</p>

<p>That being said, GW- 50/50 (reason stated above)
Northeastern - Safety
tufts - match
BC- safety
Bucknell- safe match
Colgate- match
YP PENN Dartmouth Columbia- reach (very attainable though)
Georgetown- high match</p>

<p>no offense but how are the ivy's attainble for the OP.
the SAT is a bit on the low side as well as the GPA
my school is top feeder into ivy's but you still need to be qualified (reasonable gpa,sats, etc)
thats just my 2 cents</p>

<p>everyone has a shot at any school</p>

<p>"1st Generation Hispanic, Below Poverty Level, I'm Sure. My Father Didn't Go To Highschool, My Mother Went to College in Home-Country but Doesn't Work"</p>

<p>forgot about your hooks
in that case i think you shouldnt worry too much. you should end up at a pretty good school.</p>

<p>good luck and congrats</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance everywhere</p>

<p>Ditto to post #5</p>

<p>thanx, habdragon, for the GW insight</p>

<p>predictions, anyone? This is my 1st and last thread on CC. I don't want to get obsessive.</p>

<p>Lol. Here's what I think. Tell me how I do.</p>

<p>My guesses not based only based on difficulty, but my random guesses based on how each schools admissions work (everyone likes minorities, but Dartmouth also likes good SATs sometimes willing to give a little on GPA, while Penn is the opposite). Its a tough one to guess! I like your list of schools though, you likely will get to choose between some top schools.</p>

<p>Yale: Rejected
Princeton: Waitlist
Columbia: Rejected
Dartmouth: Accepted
Penn: Waitlist
Georgetown: Accepted
Cornell: Accepted</p>

<p>Everywhere else: Accepted (no doubts on these)</p>

<p>:-\ My beautiful Princeton + Columbia. O well.... I'd rather be rejected than waitlisted... unlikely I will be accepted + too painful. bump</p>
