Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey, please chance me. I'll chance back- post a link!</p>

<p>GPA (Definitely one of my weak points): Weighted: 4.1 Unweighted: 3.6 (Should go up dramatically again senior year, strong upwards trend)
Class Rank: Approx. 10-20/280 (Again, will rise senior year, strong trend. Expecting top 5-10 students. </p>

<p>ACT: 32 (36M 32 S 32 E 29 R) Waiting for second test score, expecting about a 32, will take again, hoping 34 (Super-scored I would have a 34 at the moment.)
SAT: Not Taken
SAT II: Math IIc: 750 Biology E: 720 Chemistry: 730
I am fluent in German, I am taking the German SATII with listening in the fall, expecting 720+ (Grammar portion may hurt a bit...) Retaking Math, along with either Biology or Physics (along with German)</p>

AP Biology A/A (Expecting 5)
AP English Language A/B (Expecting 4-5)

<p>Clubs/Organizations:

I tutor Math and Science 4-5 hours a week.
I teach Chess 2-5 hours a week at the local Middle School (I am formed State champion, 6th out of over 1000 at Nationals- both to young to count on my application I'd assume)</p>

<p>Work Experience:
Summer Job (2 Years) at an engineering company. Made circuit boards, web design, data collection.</p>

<p>Not sure where/how/if to include this. I was a major advocate for AP Physics at our school and to make it happen I spent 4 hours every day all summer and spring teaching Physics and Calculus to prepare a student for the class. They actually took the Physics SAT II and got a 730, Im not sure if there is a way I can use this, I doubt I can disclose another students grades to show my success in this area.</p>

<p>I tried to keep the above short, and I think I have listed everything major. I think my top choice is Johns Hopkins so I will probably apply early action.
If someone could chance me on:
Johns Hopkins EA and Regular Decision:
Brown EA and Regular Decision:
U-Chicago:
Northwestern:</p>

<p>I know these are all reaches, I have safeties planned out. If someone could compare my chances particularly in the first to early action compared to regular decision it would be much appreciated. Leave a link and I'll chance back!</p>

<p>JHU high match
Brown reach
UofC low reach
NU reach</p>

<p>i think your frosh grades may hold you back a SLIGHT bit. but you’ve got a great upward trend which is good. your standardized tests are pretty good, might need a little improvement, however. ECs look great</p>

3

<p>Thanks, a lot. How do you think applying early decision would effect my chances at the first two? Also, how much better would my chances be if I would get a 34 on my ACT and 750+ on my SAT IIs?</p>

<p>If someone could compare, you choose the method (percentages, etc) Johns Hopkins EA, Johns Hopkins RD, and Brown EA it would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>I am pretty sure I want to go to one of the two schools, I just want to apply in a way as to maximize my odds.</p>

4

<p>A lot better if you had a 34 and 750+ but your chances are good anyways.</p>

5

<p>JHU-reach
Northwestern-lower reach
U Chicago-reach</p>

<p>Brown…i’m going to be you get deffered EA and get in RD…or you’ll just get in EA…for some reason i just have a feeling</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins EA and Regular Decision:low reach, I think you could get in
Brown EA and Regular Decision:reach
U-Chicago: match
Northwestern: match</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

12

<p>Johns Hopkins EA and Regular Decision- good shot… up in the air, but I’d say you have a better than 50% shot for sure</p>

<p>Brown EA and Regular Decision- reach, (but it’s not impossible… I’d say 20% shot, maybe)</p>

<p>U-Chicago- I’d say 40-50% shot… low reach?</p>

<p>Northwestern- I’d say 40% shot</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins EA in
JHU Regular Decision: reach
Brown EA reach in
Brown Regular Decision: reach
U-Chicago: reach
Northwestern: in
can u plz chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/739962-plz-chance-overachiever-rice-u-maryland-duke-caltech-5-ucs.html#post1062841319[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/739962-plz-chance-overachiever-rice-u-maryland-duke-caltech-5-ucs.html#post1062841319&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

14

<p>good ACT, gpa- maybe a bit low… about the student/physics, try including it in an essay if you were really passionate about it and you can write in a style suited for the purpose…good ecs and leadership</p>

<p>so, jhu- close reach, brown- reach (ivy status) chances should go up if applying ea or esp ed</p>

15

<p>Johns Hopkins EA in
JHU Regular Decision: reach
Brown EA reach in
Brown Regular Decision: reach
U-Chicago: in
Northwestern: in</p>

16

<p>Northwestern = High Match
Brown = Reach
JHU = Low Reach</p>

<p>You have a really strong course load which will likely help explain your low GPA. Otherwise, everything looks very strong, you’ll have a good shot at your schools.</p>

17

<p>Your ACT is decent but may be too low to make p for your poor freshman grades. You do have some pretty good ECs and a difficult schedule as well. </p>

<p>I think all are high matches/low reaches, except Brown which is a reach.</p>

18

<p>jhu: low reach
u chic: match</p>

19

<p>Thanks for chancing me!!
Johns Hopkins EA and Regular Decision: I think you have a good chance of getting in EA. RD might be tougher, but you may be able to get in
Brown EA and Regular Decision: reach, but you might be able to pull it off
U-Chicago: i would say match
Northwestern: match</p>

<p>Good Luck!!</p>
