Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>GPA: 3.73uw (Most rigorous possible schedule)
Rank: First Decile (All school provides)
ACT: 35</p>

<p>EC (weakest part):
Varsity/Club Swimming Year Round
Model UN (Exec Board)
NHS
Volunteering:
-Work with recreation swim team
-Hospital
-Tutor in school's chem department
-Tutor middle school kids
-Charity events
Worked as a lifeguard</p>

<p>Schools:
Duke
JHU
Northwestern
WUSTL
Brown
Penn
Amherst</p>

<p>I have matches and safeties...these are my reach schools. I realize my EC are extremely weak for these schools. I'm just not sure if I can improve them by January. I'm open to suggestions. What can I do to better my chances?</p>

<p>I think no one is responding since you aren't really asking for chances here. You might consider posting this on the college admissions portion of college confidential instead.</p>

<p>You are in at:
Duke
JHU
Northwestern
WUSTL</p>

<p>And most likely
Brown
Penn
Amherst</p>

<p>You will probably get merit aid at Wustl.</p>

<p>I would probably cut this list by 2-3 schools (get rid of JHU and Amherst, they seem inconsistent with other schools on your list) and add some super-reaches (HYPS).</p>
