4

<p>Your ACT is on the higher end of their median 50 percent and GPA looks good :)</p>

5

<p>Which of those schools - ND, Oberlin, Northwestern - would be hardest for me to be admitted to? And which would be easiest?</p>

6

<p>Northwestern would be the hardest...</p>

<p>What awards do you have?</p>

7

<p>Nothing substantial in my awards catorgory: HS Foreign Language Award and Spanish awards, 4-H county winner in Newsreporting, and honor roll</p>

8

<p>Anyone else?</p>

9

<p>Might look at Holy Cross-very good school 1 hour from Boston. HC is a smaller version of Notre Dame.</p>

10

<p>Looking good.</p>

11

<p>Is this a junior or senior?</p>

12

<p>I am a Senior</p>

13

<p>ACT, GPA, and legacy are all to the good. Rural helps at a lot of places, too. I think that you will do OK with your choices-you should get into two, or all three. I assume that you have one or two safety schools.</p>

14

<p>Yes, Univ. of Dayton is my safety school. Are there any other schools that would be good safeties for me?</p>

15

<p>you've got a good chance at all those schools. northwestern's a slight reach.</p>

16

<p>I have gotten quite a few A-'s in the last few years. Will these colleges convert those A-'s to something lower than a 4.0 and will my chances be hurt?</p>

17

<p>Anyone know whether having a lot of A-'s will hurt my application?</p>

18

<p>From what I heard, most colleges consider A- an A. It depends for each college, go call em up</p>
