Now that I know my final stats...

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>...I might as well do one of these "what are my chances" things. Here we go:
SAT I: 670M 630V composite:1300
SAT II (only required by Vassar, a reach anyway): 570 Math 590 Writing 590 Lit (a hearty "oy" to all three)</p>

<p>GPA (a nice upward trend): Freshman:2.9 Sophmore: 3.4 Junior: 3.67 Overall: 3.36 unweighted out of 4.0</p>

<p>Classes: Only honors Geometry as far as honors/AP but I do have:
-4 years math (in regular Calculus now)
-4 years Language (Through Latin lit, now in Ancient Greek II)
-4 years English
-4 years Science (Envi Sci, Bio, Chem, Physics)
-3.5 years history
-3 years of Photography (in Advanced independent study class now)
-4 years Chorus
-2 years Chamber Singers (Advanced audition only small chorus)
Nice, busy schedule</p>

<p>ECs: I do have a few, not a ton.
-Worked for Papa Johns summer of Sophmore year, one night a week junior year.
-Worked for Genuardi's (a Grocery chain, for all you non-philly types) summer of Junior year, one night a week this year.
-Play piano, take lessons weekly.
-Wissahickon Restoration Project (CS w/ Fairmont park in Philly, at least 12 hrs/ year)
-Abington Friends School Students for Peace and Justice (new this year)
-Gay Straight Bisexual Alliance (2 years)
-Newspaper freshman year
-Fitness program, one season per year, all 4 years</p>

<p>Me: White, male, at a pretty competitive private Quaker school. Parents well educated, Dad a college Prof, but at a different school. Possible tuition exchange at all of these schools except Vassar through Dad's work.</p>

<p>Anyway, now that I've listed that, now it's time for the schools. My final list has shaped up to become this, in order of interest:
Skidmore College
Goucher College
Muhlenberg College
Juniata College
Vassar College
Dickinson College
Franklin and Marshall College
Albright College (blatent safety)</p>

<p>Just as a side note, I still have not decided which is the real first choice school between Goucher and Skidmore. I liked both quite a lot when I visited, and although I know Skidmore probably has more "prestige," I could care less about that. All I care about is that I liked both a lot and would probably be very happy at either one of them. So if any of you have some opinions on either of the schools, I'd love to hear them...</p>

<p>Yo you'll get in don't worry about it. Nice upward trend, I actually think you can go higher... what about Boston University? It's a nice school and my dad works there.</p>

<p>Really? Some of these seem a tad iffy to me, but I think I have a decent shot at all but Vassar.I don't know, does anyone see some places where it might be a tad iffy for me? Just curious...</p>

<p>Skidmore looks like potentially a good fit for you, but not a shoe-in by any means: it has become much more selective over the past five years. </p>

<p>Have you thought of ED? If you do ultimately apply, I would recommend you delve into your background in the Arts.</p>
