<p>I think you have a chance, but your ACT is probably at the 25 percentile, stanford is around a 32-34. Probably better chance in getting into williams or Amhurst. But your ACT is still below the mean for Amhurst which is a 32. Williams your score is just above the lower range (there range is 30-34). Activity-wise you look pretty good. GPA may be low but appears to be okay.</p>

<p>Thank you! I still have another chance for the ACT and I am working really hard on it. Those math and science sections really get me!!! And I have SAT subject tests to take… HAs anyone taken Literature, Math 2, or US history and what id you think?</p>

<p>what other schools are you applying to? You have strong ECs, but i think you need to get your test scores up if you are aiming for ivies (even though they are still good). Ivies–reach.</p>

<p>Oreo3107 thanks for the chance! I’m glad that everyone is saying that my ECs are good, I was worried about that because gymnastics takes up SO much of time that it’s hard to do a ton of other activities. I hope that this next ACT is good (my third try)! Don’t worry, I have state schools in Florida that I am applying to for back up :)</p>
