My Chances?

<p>Hey everyone.</p>

<p>Bard College is one of my top college choices. I particularly like it’s location and strong programs in english and the like.</p>

<p>Though I would really love to go to Bard, my application may notbe so great…I have about a 3.3 GPA, but my average of all my grades per semester is about an 87%, with particular strength in spanish, literature, and history. Classes like math and science are what bring my grades down. Below is my unimpressive and concise list of ECs and the like:</p>

<p>-Taken art for (expected) all 4 years of high school
-National Art Honor Society (11 12 planned)
-Teen Art Club (outside of school) (11 12 planned)
-Took a Japanese language class at community college (10)
-President of class (9)
-National Junior Honor Society (9, but was in it from grades 7-9)
-Art of Summer workshop. I worked to produce an exhibition of my own art in a summer art show. Outside of school. (9 10)
-Study abroad in Japan for the summer (11)
-Held a job (11)</p>

<p>As you can see, I’m hoping Bard notices my high interest in languages and international studies (due to the Japanese language study and summer abroad) and the commitment to fine arts. </p>

<p>I can write a truly excellent essay, and will most likely recieve pretty good reccommendations from teachers. I’m scheduled to take the SAT in March, and I’m aiming for a score in the 2100-2200 range (a score I will most likely attain.)</p>

<p>…What do you think my chances are?</p>

<p>i think you have a pretty good chance, especially if your essays are really good</p>
