Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Please chance me for the some top schools. I'm currently a junior at a California high-school. I'm looking to go to a top business school preferably in California, but I'm open to going to going to a top university out of state. I come from a wealthy, white family so nothing to help my chances there.</p>

<p>Scores:
Act Composite- projected at 32-34</p>

<p>GPA - 4.15 W (Grades 10-12), 3.98 W (Grades 9-12), 3.72 UW (Grades 9-12)</p>

<p>Freshman year there were no Honors/AP classes available. Sophomore year I took the only two Honors/AP classes available and Junior year I am taking five. I expect to take AP Micronomics, AP Gov, AP Stats, and Honors Spanish for Senior year. Math has always been a a challenge for me to get As in and I get consistent Bs in those classes. All of the other subjects I get As, so I'm not sure how much a B in math would affect my chances of getting into a business school.</p>

<p>APs(so far): AP Euro - A, AP Psych - A, AP US History - A, AP Environmental Science - A, AP Lang - B
Honors/ Advanced - Honors Chemistry -B, Adv English 10 -A</p>

<p>Got a 3 on the AP Euro test :(. I probably wont record that score when applying to colleges. The rest of the AP tests I will be taking this spring.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: </p>

<p>Played Soccer for 10 years and played for the highschool JV team.
Run the local museum on Sundays once a month
Going to take a summer course at Cal for Economics</p>

<p>(I realize I am lacking in this area)</p>

<p>Clubs/Awards:</p>

<p>Young Republican Club
California Scholarship Federation
National Honors Society
Multiple Renaissance Awards throughout the school year for academic achievement
Teacher-Given Award for Hard Work and Effort (forget the name of it)</p>

<p>Colleges I'm thinking of applying to:</p>

<p>Cal Berkeley
USC
UCLA
Cal Poly
Santa Clara
U of Michigan
NYU
Boston College
Loyola Marymount
Emory University
U of Chicago
Any of the Ivy League Schools(Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University)</p>

<p>I know most of these schools are reaches, I just want to know how much of a reach. I want to go into business, so I'm not sure if that affects my chances of going to any of these schools.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Your extra curricula’s are very weak. Change that.
If you do that, you will have a good chance at the cal schools

<p>As you stated, you know you’re a bit weak in your extra curricular activities, but I think you will have a decent chance at the California schools if you can write your essays well.
As for the Ivies, you’re a decent applicant (maybe a bit on the low end unweighted GPA wise), but you need to stand out in the midst of the sea of applicants, so write your essays well.</p>
