Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am a Latin-American Junior. My parents do not make a lot of money. By the end of this semester, I should have an 85% GPA. I plan on getting approximately a 600 on each SAT section. I take the only AP Class offered to me, AP US History, didn't do well in AP Exam, probably got a 2 or 3. I took English 101 with CollegeNow and scored an A in the class. I am involved in Student Council, National Honor Society, Upward Bound program at Columbia University, and I have over 100 hours of Volunteer work at the hospital since February 09 through Present. I also participated in a Student Empowerment conference where I did a presentation on Political Activism. I am a Boy Scout, but I am First Class and wont make Eagle Scout by the time I apply to colleges. This summer, I will be part of an American Studies Program at Columbia, where I will take a Philosophy class and SAT Prep.</p>

<p>I know its a reach, but I have a long history with Columbia, my mom has worked there since I was 3, I live nearby, I used to play and visit the campus a lot as I grew up, I am involved in an Upward Bound Program there where I live on campus during the summer. I can write an outstanding essay for Columbia. </p>

<p>So please chance me for these! Thank you! </p>

<p>I’d say Columbia is a reach but based on your involvement with it, I can’t really venture a guess.</p>

<p>I’d say your into the rest.</p>

<p>For Columbia it depends on how well your hook works.
For the others, I’d say no to Stony Brook, BU, BC and Northeastern.
Yes to the others.</p>

<p>Ehh. I agree with the others about Columbia - who knows? It’s a toss up. But I think you’ll fare well at the majority of the other schools - BC will probably be the hardest out of all of them, but I think you have a shot at BU/Northeastern as well as the SUNY/CUNY schools.</p>
