My *FINAL* Chance Thread

<p>Oh, it’s Williams, not William and Mary. Williams is located in Massachusetts.</p>

<p>But thank you!</p>

<p>Bro don’t stress. You’re the kind of applicant I’M scared of because you’re credentials are so good. Honest, I would be surprised if if any of the schools you listed didn’t seriously consider you.
But have you applied already? Because one suggestion I’d make is to not apply to so many schools! It’ll just make it stressful when you actually decide which one to go to.</p>

<p>Williams College - High Match, Low Reach, with a school as prestigious as this one, it’s pretty much a high match/reach for everyone but considering your scores are in the lower/middle range, you’re applying ED and you’re black, I would consider you have a pretty good shot at getting in.</p>

<p>Bowdoin College - Match/ High match, again same case with Williams, good schools, hard to get into for most people but with good ACTs, ECs, GPA and race, I would say match.</p>

<p>Mount Holyoke College - Safety/Low Match
Colorado College - Match
Baylor University - Safety/Match
Claremont McKenna College - High Match
Davidson College - Match
Carleton College - High Match</p>

<p>The others I don’t know.</p>

<p>@Milky Way, yeah, this list is killing me. My parents want me to apply to like fourteen schools for some reason or other, which is really tiring me out. I think they fail to understand I have school and…ahem…a LIFE…</p>

<p>But oh well. At least I have a nice little/large safety net :/</p>

<p>Thanks, TylerNark!</p>

<p>even though ur ECs aren’t stellar tbh ur an AA female so you’re in at like 90-100% of those colleges- good luck!</p>

<p>Any other input would be greatly appreciated! I will chance back upon request! :D</p>

<p>Also…I want to go into Physics…but I’m not sure how that will impact my decision, so yeah…haha</p>

<p>Somebody chance meh please? Thanks!</p>

<p>I don’t know a lot about a bunch of your schools, but I know that Williams is one of the hardest schools to get into cuz it’s so small. Hopefully applying ED will have helped you out. Your scores are about average, but I think your music extracurriculars and everything else is really strong so I’d say you have a pretty good chance :)</p>

<p>I think you should fine for your colleges. If your school is as competitive as it seems your top 10% shouldn’t hurt you much. Just shine in your essays and you should be more than fine.</p>

<p>Thanks, sunnysideup and jakjak! Much appreciated!</p>

<p>Thank you soo much for chancing me!</p>

<p>Sadly I know almost nothing about any of these schools, I’m kind of new to this. :slight_smile: From what I can see, you look like an extremely competitive candidate. Your stats are pretty good and your EC’s are great, they really show how well-rounded you are. Also, being from IL is going to help you because the majority of these schools will be receiving applications form the northeast. Good luck on your ED results, I know that must be nerve-wracking since it’s coming up so soon.</p>

<p>Girl, I think that you have a solid chance for most of them. I don’t know too much specifically about the schools individually, but looking at your impressive accomplishments in music and your great extracurriculars, I’d say you’re a solid candidate for the ones you’re applying to.
The ones I have a more specific idea about:
Davidson: I’d say sure bet!
Washington and Lee: low reach; only because your GPA/rank is a little lower than most applying to w&l. Even then, it depends on what you want to major in. I’d say you still have a great chance, the fact that you’re AA and you’re test scores are within the middle 50% of their freshman class :)</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>i would love to hear from you about mine! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1427106-chances-getting-into-harvard.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1427106-chances-getting-into-harvard.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thanks so much, darabaldwin and sekala!</p>

<p>I think you’ll get into every school there, honestly. Being a minority></p>

<p>Even if you weren’t a minority, even the best of these schools would be a low-reach.</p>

<p>hahahaha I happened to stumble across this and totally know who the OP is…DevPatel you could probably figure out who I am too based on a chance me thread I made a while back (one of my low points in my CC experience…I was so desperate :stuck_out_tongue: )</p>

<p>Gahhhh no way! Yeah, I figured out who you are too, luv2dance! haha this is actually really funny/mildly embarrassing…</p>

<p>you’ll get in everywhere. your doing great. kind of jealous</p>
