<p>chances at, Colgate, Macalester, Oberlin, Notre Dame, Miami (Ohio), St olaf, Wash U, Loyola in Maryland, University of Denver, Colorado College</p>
<p>open your eyes and read the other 10 million posts that look exactly like yours. If you can't be any more qualified then you have good shots basically.</p>
<p>I most definetely don't agree with that, although I do thank you. My ACT is less than perfect compared to the other kids at my school, I have gotten 2 B+'s and many A-'s, I have a lack of solid EC's other than sports. I did alright on IB tests but not overly impressive. I feel like a have a legit reason to be worried about a few of these schools</p>
<p>great shot at oberlin, you'll almost certainly get into the other places.</p>
<p>for notre dame and wah u, you got a decent shot, but don't expect to get accepted, those schools are very very competitive. your ec's don't appear extremely special, but your work experience sounds very interesting.</p>
<p>Will do, thanks for your input. I most def agree about ND and wash u. Those have always been considered reaches so I'm not really counting on them. Anyone have any ideas about Colgate, Macalester, Colorado College?</p>
<p>WOW you play a lotttttt of sports. Any chance that you will maybe get to play those at college for V? Because that will get you into school in no time. If you aren't good enough, that kinda sucks for you, because sports practices take away a lot of time everyday, and you are clearly lacking in ECs. But honestly, you should look at rowing. Not many high school kids do rowing, and colleges LOVE rowers. YOull definitely get into st olaf, loyola, uden, and macalester. I DONT KNOW about washu or colorad. they are harder. but for some reason i think you'd do really well at colgate i dont know why i just get the vibe from you colgate's all like really sporty. if you live in minnesota why don't you apply to carleton?</p>
<p>Those are good EC's, pretty good scores (though the IB scores are not brilliant, they're good 'nuff). University of Denver and Colorado College is match/safety, I'm SURE. Wash U, Oberlin, Notre Dame and such might be a bit of a match-reach.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure you'll get into Macalester, Oberline, Miami Ohio, St. Olaf, Wash U, and Colorado College.
Colgate is a strong possible, but not definite.
I'm not familiar enough with the others to give an opinion.</p>
<p>I agree with the point made by starbucks...if you are going to play any of these sports in college, your chances go way up...also, I think Colgate is a high match. Did you take SAT/ SAT IIs? Also, are you captain or some sort of leadership thing on the ECs/sports you do? </p>
<p>I'm most likely going to row in college. Its not that I'm not good enough at any of those sports, I did make 3 varsity teams of 20 kids out of the 3,000 plus kids at our school. The only problem is that men's rowing isn't a sanctioned sport, there aren't D1, D2, and D3 teams, there is only the club level. Some schools can recruit for it, most can't and don't. I could play D3 soccer in MN but I don't want to. The major problem is that I didn't realize that I DIDN'T want to play so many sports until right now, which means I haven't done anything worthwhile with my other extra curriculars.</p>
<p>Bros, I just started a group that is designed to help special needs kids at our school get more integrated into the general student body, so I'm founder/president of about 30 students. Will this help?</p>
