Hamilton definitely no
Wells definitely no
Colgate definitely no
Hampshire definitely no
Bard definitely no
SUNY Cortland probably not
Skidmore definitely no</p>

<p>That was mean =(</p>

<p>Wow, that really was mean, but I think Cameltoe000 is just a troll. First of all,I don't think a serious poster would use such an audacious user name. And look at their first post:</p>

<p>"I go Syosset Senior High School in Essex County, NJ
white femail
2.92 GPS (3.07 weighted)
1530 SAT- 470 math, 450 reeding, 510 writing(Yay!).
Volunteered at a petting zoo...</p>

<p>SENIOR YEAR CLASSES:
pottery
geometry (i need to pass this time)
cooking
lunch
lacrosse</p>

<p>Schools that i applied too:
Upenn (not warten duhhh)
Amhears
Noter Dame
Michigan (safety)
Lehigh(already got in woo hoo!!)"</p>

<p>Anyway, to sammielue, I was about to say the 3.95 was extremely impressive, but then realized that you are barely in your school's top decile. Nevertheless, having only 2 B's in a HS career is great. </p>

<p>Regardless of grades, I'd say the ACT is quite good. Your EC's and awards are good, but not especially extraordinary. That said, I'd say:</p>

<p>COLLEGES:
Brown-No
Hamilton-Maybe
Wells- Easily yes
Colgate- Yes
Hampshire- Maybe
Bard- Maybe
SUNY Cortland- Yes
Skidmore- Maybe</p>

<p>Thanks wmmk, that's roughly where I thought my chances were. Like I said, I'm being "optimistic but realistic." I like to think I have a chance at Brown -- albeit tiny -- but am ready for the rejection letter.</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>Come on, 92 views and only one (real) response?</p>

<p>it would be nice to see some focus in your EC's..</p>

<p>But good stats overall.</p>
