<p>Hey everyone! :) So before you start reading, I just wanted to say that I think CC is a wonderful site!! It's so helpful. You guys seriously rock... I don't know what I would do without you. Anyway, this is my chance profile: </p>

<p>PS- I'll chance you back.</p>

<p>Grades</p>

<hr>

<p>GPA = 3.7 (Upward Trend)
Weighted= 4.55 (Expecting 4.75 by Graduation)
Rank: We don't rank, but i'm definitely in the top 15%, and probably in the top 10%. most people take easy honors classes like Honors Art and stuff to inflate their gpa.</p>

<p>Freshmen Year= 0 AP's (we couldn't take any)
Sophomore Year= 1 AP (it was the only one we could take, and it was AP Euro. I got a 4 =])
Junior Year= 2 AP's (US History (4) and Environmental Science--- taking Enviro Sci exam next year)
Senior Year= 5 AP's (Macro, Micro, Gov, English, Chemistry) Also taking Psychology AP Exam.</p>

<p>So, in short
AP Exams= 9
AP Classes= 7</p>

<p>I had a B in Chemistry all year in 10th grade and I'm taking AP Chem Senior Year because I want to actually master the subject. I also had a B in trig all year, but my teacher likes me and she's writing one of my recommendations. Another thing, I had B's in 4 classes first semester junior year, but i pulled them all to A's for 2nd semester. i'm not a math/ science person lol :) </p>

<hr>

<p>Test Scores:</p>

<p>ACT: 30 --- may or may not take the September ACT (my strongest subjects were reading & English... also 11 on writing)
Sat 2: Taking US History, Math, and Language in October. Expecting 700+.
AP Exams: 2 Fours, as I mentioned above. </p>

<p>might one person be able to chance me?</p>

<p>Hey bro, I’m afraid I won’t be the best person to chance you, as I’m not too experienced with college admissions either :D</p>

<p>I’ll do my best though. I believe the reason not many people are chancing you is that you don’t have many things filled in yet that people look for when considering what a person’s chances are. </p>

<p>If you read the “improving the chances of chances threads” sticky in this forum, I noticed lots of people saying they don’t like answering peoples threads who ‘project’ a certain GPA or SAT score. People only like chancing people who already have their scores - ESPECIALLY people who have their SATs listed. </p>

<p>That being said, I can comment on your EC’s! Those are fantastic - I really wish I had been that active in High School. The two varsity sports will help you, I believe. The co-president and president position will also help you greatly. </p>

<p>I hope someone else answers your thread too, someone more knowledgeable about what each of these schools like to see. I"m applying to U Penn as well, so I’ll keep checkin your thread to see what happens ;D</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>Try to get your ACT up and bring out the positives more clearly. Stress on leadership for Upenn. As it is for pretty much all of us, the ivies are a good reach. Early action at Uchicago would be difficult too. You have decent scores and EC’s for the rest. Write good essays and get good recommendations!</p>

11

<p>thanks :smiley:
anyone else?</p>

<p>Hey, thanks for chancing me, you have an impressive resume.</p>

<p>But unfortunately, I don’t really know much about the universities you’re applying to. But you seem like a fit to NYU. I’m sorry but this is as much as I know.</p>
