Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Ok, as much as I hate these things, I want to do one now that I have all of my scores in.</p>

<p>Upper-middle class white male...</p>

<p>GPA: 4.3w/3.8uw
Rank: 28/650
PSAT 223 (I'll at least be a NMSF)
SAT 2200 (CR750/M730/W720)
SAT IIs (ehhhh):
Math 1: 710
Lit: 690
Spanish: 670
IB Diploma</p>

<p>AP World History: 4
AP Music Theory:4</p>

<p>Awaiting scores for:
AP English Lang (4 or 5)
AP Spanish Lang (3-5... not sure)
IB Bio
IB Spanish</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:
Lacrosse 10-12 (Varsity 11, 12)
Jazz Band 11, 12 (Bass guitar)
Marching band 9-12 (10th and 11th I was pit section leader, 12th I am percussion Captain)
Show Band (bass guitar)

Student Congress (11, 12)
I had an internship with a local newspaper this summer, and during the school year I'll be writing an education column. I don't want to major in journalism, but I do love writing. </p>

<p>I'm decent at lacrosse (I should be ok for DIII) and very good at music. I've contacted a lot of jazz departments and I'll be sending out my mp3s soon. I'm a lacrosse recruit at Vassar...</p>

<p>Several hundred service hours.</p>

<p>I'm applying to:</p>

<p>Amherst
Williams
Colgate
Tufts
Brown
Princeton
Yale
Cornell
Dartmouth
Boston University
Vassar
New College of Florida</p>

<p>Maybe U of Chicago or Northwestern. (I'm visiting it today) Also considering a few more LACs (swarthmore, middlebury).</p>

<p>Now that I think about it, I'm a lot better at bass than lacrosse. I can play in basically any style, and my jazz band went to the state level. I would get a scholarship if I went to a school for music performance, but I'm not...</p>

<p>Also, some reccomendations for business schools would be appreciated. I dislike NYC a lot, so please nothing there...</p>

<p>Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and give me your honest feedback!</p>

<p>Bump.</p>

<p>Bumppppp. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. Help me narrow down the list some too...</p>

<p>Thanks for your opinions, but I'm going to beg to differ on quite a few of those. The brown jazz director said that after he gets the mp3s, that if he likes them he'll have a strong pull on admissions... or as he said "It could become a very large part of your admissions portfolio". </p>

<p>Oh, and I just got my AP scores:</p>

<p>AP English Lang: 5
Ap Spannsih Lang: 3 (hahaha, at least I passed...)</p>

<p>Bump.</p>

<p>This is getting REDIC. </p>

<p>I'm gonna go play guitar hero, and hopefully when I'm back, there will be a few more replies...</p>
