Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I have been accepted at Penn State and Notre Dame, and I am waiting to hear back from Virginia Tech, Duke, Wake Forest, and Carnegie Mellon. It'd be great if someone could chance me on those schools!</p>

<p>I have a 3.8 unweighted GPA (my school doesn't do weighted)
I will have completed 6 APs by the time I graduate- Physics, Calculus, English, American History (4), European History (4), and Gov (5).
Otherwise, all of my classes are honors level.</p>

<p>I got a 2120 on my SATs (M-730, CR-700, W-690)
I also took the SAT IIs but didn't do as well as I could have- (math I- 600, physics- 570, history- 630, english- 650)</p>

<p>I am involved in a number of ECs. I am president of the Interact Club at my high school, secretary of student council, vice president of the senior class, I was co editor in chief of the school newspaper (had to quit this year due to scheduling conflicts), I do track and cross country, National Honor Society, National Art Honor Society. I taking painting lessons, attended a number of prestigious journalism conferences, and a few other things. I have a part time job, and I am very involved at my church. Additionally, I volunteered at a Christian camp over the summer, and did a few other programs in the community. I might be missing a few, but I think you get the idea, haha.</p>

<p>I'm not a minority, but I am looking at engineering. I've heard that it can be beneficial to be a female in engineering.</p>

<p>And I think that pretty much covers it (:</p>

<p>I think Duke is your biggest reach. I think you’ll get into the others. </p>

<p>Also, I don’t think Wake Forest has an engineering major. I could be wrong, though.</p>

<p>In to all, but Duke will be a reach for anybody. I’m not sure about WF’s engineering department.</p>

<p>Also, tell me if I have a chance for any elite colleges that would be my shot if I go to any of these back up schools for a year and get a 3.85-4.0 GPA? Sorry, but if sophomore fall transfer will not work, I may have to settle for the Spring Soph. or Junior transfer.</p>
