Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm a junior thinking about the two years ahead, and college applications. I'd love to go to one of the small LAC's mentioned in the title. I want to study something in the Humanities field.</p>

<p>GPA unweighted - 3.97
I'm foreign, from Italy.
School doesn't rank. It's an alternative boarding school, which means no APs, BUT I'm taking the most rigorous courses, all centered around the humanities field (Philosophy, World Religions, Global Issues, Adv. French Lit., Honors Eng, Honors US His) plus Advanced Calc.
SATs - Got 190 on my PSAT without knowing what it was, and then I did the practice SAT on the college board website and got 2120 (710 cw, 710 w, 700 m)</p>

<p>ECs:
French Club - co founded in 10th grade and am now president
Active & Helping - club at my school that centers on charity, through which I've done many hours of community service. Joined in 10th grade. I also worked at a soup kitchen over the summer.
Model UN
Debate Club</p>

<p>Strengths: My essays will probably be very good, as writing is my main strength.</p>

<p>Bump.</p>

<p>By the way, any advice will be much appreciated. What part of my application should I work on?</p>

<p>Your GPA is obviously great, and your ECs seem strong. If I were you, I would just keep working on SATs b/c those schools require pretty high scores. And be sure to mention on your apps that you’re bilingual (or possibly trilingual?)-- that’s always great. And mention that you didn’t have access to APs but that you took the most rigorous courses offered. Good luck!</p>

<p>Chance me back?

<p>I think you should try to work on your SAT a bit too, but your score right now is still competitive. Overall, I think you have a great shot!</p>
