Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi - thanks in advance for trying to chance me</p>

<p>These are the schools I'm looking at:
Vassar (ED)
Brown
Connecticut College
Brandeis
Skidmore
Amherst</p>

<p>PROFILE:
White female
Mom-SUNY Albany and Einstein School of Medicine
Dad-Columbia University and Einstein School of Medicine.</p>

<p>Suburban High school that does fairly well in college admissions (5-10 to ivies plus good other uni's and LAC's)</p>

<p>Class rank: 7/520
GPA weighted 4.93 out of 5.2 (school only does weighted)
National Honor Society</p>

<p>SAT Reasoning: 2150
-Reading 700
-Math 720
Writing 730</p>

<p>Subject Tests:
-Math 1 – 740
-Lit – 700
-Bio – 690</p>

<p>I have two somewhat lower subject tests (570 and 590), but I took those on the same day, so I’m hoping that those will be overlooked, considering my other test scores and my GPA. I’m sort of unsure if those scores will be taken into account.</p>

<p>EC's
-Theatre Club (9-12) – I’ve been heavily involved with all of the theatrical productions at my high school, either through performing or helping out.
-Religious School Assistant Teacher (9-12) – I’ve actually done this since seventh grade, two hours a week during the school year. I’ve helped teach second, third, and fifth grade.
-Dance (11-12) – I dance about two hours a week during both the school year and the summer.
-Voice (9-12) – I have been taking private voice lessons for eight or nine years, and I participate in the school choir. Additionally, I will be in Area All State Choir and possibly All State Choir this year.
-Academic Team (9-12) – I have been on the Academic Team since freshman year. Meets are generally about six hours long, every few weeks.</p>

<p>Work:
-Assistant Teacher for Religious School (unpaid, see above)
-Summer Theatre Intern</p>

<p>Summers:
This summer – Skidmore’s Pre-College Program in the Liberal and Studio Arts.
Last summer – Harvard Secondary School Program</p>

<p>For both of these programs, I received college credit - I ended with 3 A's and a B+</p>

<p>My teacher recs should be very good – At least one of the teachers that I’m asking wrote my rec for the Skidmore program I did. My guidance counselor knows me, so her rec should also be very good.</p>

<p>my essay should be on par with everything else.</p>

<p>I'm also looking for a good safety - I want to stay in the northeast - does anyone have any suggestions that are similar to the schools i mentioned?</p>

<p>i'm a big fan of every school on your list. you should be in at skidmore, and i'd be surprised if you didnt get into conn and brandeis. you have a good shot at Vassar, especially applying ED. brown and amherst are reaches for everyone.
if you want to be safer, try ithaca, wheaton (ma), muhlenberg</p>
