Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>If you link me to your chance, I'll attempt to chance you back (although I evidently have not gone through this process yet so my advice may not be that accurate but I'll try to)</p>

<p>UW GPA: 3.93 (weighted is about 4.3 if I recall correctly)</p>

<p>Classes and Grades (slash separates semesters, I included PE and Band for the hell of it)..
Total B's: 3 (all B+'s if it matters) in 1st semester of Chem H (got an A second semester) and both semesters of AP US History.</p>

<p>Honors:
10th grade- Chemistry H, Trigonometry/Analytic Geometry H (not counted as honors for UCs)
11th grade- Analysis H, Physics H (not counted as honors for UCs), Spanish 3H, American Lit H (1 semester)
12th grade- none</p>

<p>APs (total- 7):
11th grade- Statistics, US History
12th grade- BC Calculus, Spanish Language, Physics C, Macroeconomics (only 2nd semester), AP Computer Science A</p>

<p>This semester I expect to get all A's and raise my GPA a bit.</p>

<p>Test Scores:
SAT Regular: 640 R, 750 W, 790 M (2180)
SAT Super: 670 R, 750 W, 790 M (2210)
SAT Math II: 800
SAT Physics: 800
SAT USH: 710 (I am hiding this from the colleges that I was sure allowed me to hold scores)
USH AP Test: 5
Statistics AP Test: 5</p>

<p>Honors (I know, I don't have many):
President's Award for 250+ hrs (Gold) in 9th grade
PSAT Commendation
California Scholarship Federation</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
1. Zero Robotics for 2 years, VP one year
2. Physics Club for 2 years, Co-P one year
3. Symphony up until this year (not this year due to conflicting schedules), first chair French horn for 4 out of 5 years
4. Soccer (competitive, but not school), goalkeeper and defense, since kindergarten
5. Speech and Debate (participated in both) for all 4 years, Merit Level
6. Summer Camp Counselor for three years (+ Junior Counselor 1 year, got me most of those 250 hours of community service)
7. Math tutor through my school, 1-2 tutees at a time</p>

<p>Note: my school is much more difficult than other schools. The school used to be on the top high schools in the US list (around 60th place), but it was removed because apparently we neglect our lower-lane students. So I believe at any other school, I would have a higher GPA, but I don't know how much colleges take that into account.</p>

<p>Colleges:
UPenn
MIT
Carnegie Mellon
UMichigan (EA)
Cornell
Wash U in St Louis
Harvey Mudd
UC: Berkeley, LA, SD, Davis, SB, Irvine, SC</p>

<p>Possible addition: University of British Colombia, University of Toronto</p>

<p>Sorry if I gave too much information! I don't know what's relevant.
Thanks for helping!</p>

<p>UPenn - High reach
MIT - High reach
Carnegie Mellon - High match
UMichigan (EA) - Low reach
Cornell - Reach
Wash U in St Louis - Reach
Harvey Mudd - High Reach
UC - I think you’ll be accepted by at least one UC.</p>

agree with the above poster about UCs.
Would appreciate it if you would chance back: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1571030-chances-uva-notre-dame-northeastern.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1571030-chances-uva-notre-dame-northeastern.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Also: I tend to be able to form good bonds with teachers. My Counselor said he thought my letter of rec was particularly good. My 1st rec teacher likes me a lot and should be experienced at writing recs. My 2nd teacher rec should be written well and overall pretty good sounding (though I didn’t have a particular relationship with this teacher, but I think she thinks pretty highly of me).</p>

<p>My essays… well I mean some are better some are worse. I don’t have many unique experiences but I do have passions I’ve been writing about (ie physics, math, computer science) though they aren’t particularly interesting topics. So… yeah.</p>

<p>I chanced you back. Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>Thanks akpl4485, I chanced you back!</p>

<p>bigtimeseller232, I would simply rather not let the MIT level schools see it because it’s a weakness. I suppose my 5 on the AP makes up for it, but I’d rather not take the chances.</p>

<p>Sorry to do this, but bump</p>
