Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I was wondering what were my chances at getting into princeton.
I have a 3.98 unweighted gpa, and a 5.48 weighted gpa.
I took:
9th grade: english 1 pre-ib, world history pre-ib, algebra 2 honors, biology 1 pre-ib, journalism 2 honors, art 1 pre-ib, and spanish 3 pre-ib.</p>

<p>10th grade: AP language and composition, AP us history, IB pre-calculus, physics 1 pre-ib/chemistry 1 pre-ib*, HOPE (basically a p.e. class), AP spanish lang, and AP
government/economics 1 pre-ib. *our school made us take one semester of physics and one semester of chemistry for the purpose of "enhancing our learning".</p>

<p>11th grade: English 3 IB, Contemporary history IB SL, Physics 2 IB, Biology 2 IB, Spanish 4 IB, TOK/research, and Math IB SL.</p>

<p>12th grade: English 4 IB SL, European history IB HL, Physics 3 IB HL, Spanish 5 IB HL, TOK, Math IB HL, and IB Music SL</p>

<p>I got a 7 on the Bio SL exam, 6 on the IB Spanish 4 exam, 4 in AP lang, 5 in AP gov, 5 in AP ush, 5 in AP Physics B( had to take this exam also with Physics 2 IB), and 5 on AP sp lang. I also did online classes and got: 5 in AP Calculus AB, 5 in AP art history, 4 in AP environmental sci, and 4 in AP computer science A.</p>

<p>Awards: won first place in two spanish competitions for 4 years, got first place in a math regional competition, 1st in science fair, 2nd in a county chess competition, National Merit Finalist and winner, and got the top AP test award. Oh, and got Biology student of the year in 9th and 11th grades. </p>

<p>PSAT: 225
SAT 1: 800 in math, 780 in reading, 780 in writing = 2460
SAT 2: 800 in math lv2, 770 in spanish, 790 in physics</p>

<p>I did Band(captain, 4 years), water polo (4 years), Ecology club (vice-president, 4 years), chess club (4 years, president), math club (4 years, president).</p>

<p>I have research experience at UM (in florida), did a ongoing project that transfered and gathered food for poorer countries like Ghana, and recently, Haiti. I organized relay for life for all 4 years for my school.</p>

<p>I'm not sure, but the recommendation letters i got were probably good, and I think I wrote an okay essay.</p>

<p>Most kids tell me that I am going to get in, but I want the reason behind that. I also want to know what was the most decisive factor.</p>

<p>math fail.</p>

<p>otherwise, you look good. no guarantees, but your scores and EC’s look strong. most important part of app = transcript, which looks good; scores of course look fantastic; awards are OK; EC’s are quite strong. you’re solid. not a shoo-in, but solid. but it’s hard to know without essays, etc. :)</p>

<p>i would say you have a very strong chance of getting. your scores and gpa are great. ECs and awards are good also. i would say you have a better chance than most people.</p>

<p>i wouldnt mind a chance back :slight_smile: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/861966-chance-me-please-cmu-cornell-wvu-others.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/861966-chance-me-please-cmu-cornell-wvu-others.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
