Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>So I'd like to go to Middlebury, Reed, Grinnell, Carleton, or, as an absurd reach, Amherst.
Ha. Ha ha ha. Silly girl.
Here's me:</p>

<p>ACT: 32 (27 in math, 31 science, 34 reading, 36 english)
SAT subject: 720 in lit, 760 in US
Have not taken the SAT yet, but am anticipating that math won't be so pathetic--the ACT math score was due to not taking math for a year...
APs: Euro as a sophomore, 5. Took Bio, Lang, and US this year...not sure how they went, bah. Next year I'll be taking AP Chinese, AP Calc, AP Lit.
ECs: Mock trial, cross country, knowledge bowl, history day, went to nationals for a debate competition...
I work on my family's farm regularly and volunteer with the Department of Natural Resources.
As a senior, I'll be living in China on a foreign exchange program.
I've gone to four schools in four years, which is why my ECs are lackluster...oh well...</p>

<p>Also, my weighted GPA is 4.6 and I’m ranked #8 out of 400.</p>

<p>You can get into any of those schools, especially with the year in China thing.
If you explain to them that you move a lot they will understand the EC thing.
Oh, and do you do any creative writing or anything? Because those schools (particularly Aherst) are big on writing and submitting a writing supplement could probably help your chances.
Chance me back?

<p>Thanks, that’s always nice to hear…
I’ve submitted some writing to a teen lit magazine, it’s nothing prestigious though haha…</p>

<p><em>shameless bump</em></p>

<p><em>shameless bump the second!</em></p>

<p>My God, you’re being so self-deprecating. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! I think you have a realistic shot at most of those, if not all. Good luck!</p>

<p>Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/745143-ill-chance-you-if-you-chance-me.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/745143-ill-chance-you-if-you-chance-me.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Reed, Carleton and Amherst are all incredible schools, and I am sure that you will get into at least one of the mentioned! </p>

<p>Don’t be too hard on yourself, and really, the worst that colleges can say is “no.”</p>

<p>Seriously… Believe in yourself!
You can get in all of these schools if you really want. Show your passion for something (maybe law). People may correct me if i am wrong but if you get better scores, with your stats, i would also aim higher. Maybe apply for some ivies (just for the sake of applying - maybe you’ll get in). But do not ever forget of safeties.

<p>Really, you have great ACT and subject scores, and by no means are they “sketchy.” </p>

<p>Trust in your own abilities and write a kick-butt essay! Show them who your really are!</p>
