My chances of getting into these schools?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm a white Jewish female from the Philadelphia area. I attend a public high school, have taken 5 AP classes, and have taken mostly honors/AP all of high school except for some maths and sciences. Because i'm not very good at math and had some bad teachers, my GPA is a 3.2 unweighted(but i hear most colleges re-weigh them? so it should go up). My highest scores onthe SAT were 660 math, 700 reading, 740 writing. I don't do a ton of extracurriculars but I'm involved/have been involved in a few things. This is my list of shcools I'm looking at, please let me know if you know any specifics about their admissions and how good of a chance you think I have of getting in.</p>

<p>Colgate University
Skidmore College
Barnard College
Cornell University(I want to do education which is in their agricultural college and is apparently easier to get into that college)
Wesleyan University
Connecticut College
Tufts University
Brandeis University
Clark University
McGill University
University of Maryland-College Park
Pitt
Penn State Schreyer's Honors College
Temple University- Honors College</p>

<p>also i’m in the top 25% of my class</p>

<p>Do you have a safety apart from this list? jw…</p>

4

<p>no. pitt, penn state, and temple are my safeties.</p>

5

<p>Temple Uni seems like a good safety. I think you’d easily make it there.</p>

<p>Did you join any clubs, or hold any leadership positions? Like, did you join BBYO? That can help.</p>

6

<p>not BBYO, but USY in 9th and 10th and another jewish youth group called Habonim Dror. it’s not very well known but I was a junior counselor at one if its camps this summer and run events for the kids during the year. I guess I’l list my other ECs here too…</p>

<p>School:
Students Advancing International Awareness, grades 9-10: Educated the student body about world issues and raised money to donate to some of those causes.
Volleyball team, 10-11
School newspaper, 12
Tutoring once or twice a week after school at the elementary school, 11-12</p>

<p>Out of school:
Jewish Community High School of Gratz College- religious school, did a lot of community service projects through them, will recieve a teaching certificate at the end of the year that can be used to teach hebrew school
Habonim Dror- junior counselor at overnight camp this summer, organize and run events during the school year for the kids
USY, 9-10: board member for my synagogue in 10th grade</p>

<p>and I’ve been on honor roll(all As and Bs) for at leas 2 quarters every year</p>

<p>oh I’ve heard of USY also :)</p>

<p>Wow… to me this is more impressive. Now we (CC users) have a more… um… “full” view.</p>

<p>I was wondering… did you learn anything from tutoring? I bet that’d make a good essay (but no essay experience myself, here). Like, “she thought I was helping her, but really, she was the one teaching me” or something. Idk. Just an idea :)</p>

<p>Colgate is a high match low reach, as well as skidmore and clark. I think brandeis is a low reach and barnard. Cornell is a real reach and wesleyan is really hard to get into. But definite possibilities at all <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/815067-chances.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/815067-chances.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
