Please chance me

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I am a senior going to school in PA. I applied to Gtown EA and was deferred. I thought my essays were satisfactory, and I submitted lots of test scores:</p>

<p>ACT- 32 composite, 33 super-scored
SAT- 1400/1600 super-scored, CR 670, Math 730
Three subject tests: 680, 710, 630 (Math 2, Biology, US, respectively)
High school GPA: 4.73/5.2, ~3.8/4</p>

<p>4 AP's Sophomore year, 5 AP's Junior year, 4 AP's Senior year</p>

<p>I know that I am within the median for most of my stats. I'm a little concerned about the generally lower subject tests and with the competition from my school. My school is usually ranked in the top 3 public schools in PA, and thus, there is a lot of competition among classmates when it comes to college, especially in a senior class of 500. I know of 4 people admitted to Georgetown EA and I know many more have applied. I know school quotas are not "supposed" to be in college admission decisions, but I am always suspicious about that....</p>

<p>It would be great if you could tell me your opinions. Thanks!</p>

<p>Also, I have many out of school things that I do. I sing, and I am in both plays and musicals. I am also President of an organization called Peer Mediation, a school club with 113 members that promotes a positive social climate in our school, in addition to providing support to new students and students having a hard time with high school. It involves over 120 hours of work a year, at least at my position.</p>

<p>In all honesty, you look like you’re right on the border. Your sat, gpa, and act aren’t exemplary but they’re absolutely not gonna keep you out of the running. Usually when I look at someone who’d like to be chance’d, I usually make a decision but you seem very borderline in my eyes.</p>

<p>I know this may not be what you wanted to hear but hopefully you’re a “glass-half-full” kind of person and can see this for the fact that it means you made the right decision by applying.</p>

<p>Just to put this in perspective, I am a junior who will be applying to gtown as well and only base my opinion off of comparing you with other results threads of years passed.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I appreciate your honesty. I know how random the college admissions process seems, but I’m glad to know I’m in the ballpark. I’m not quite sure if “glass half-full” describes my personality type, but I am hoping for the best and expecting the worst!</p>

<p>Georgetown: High Match/Low Reach
50/50 Chance could go either way
Good Luck!</p>

<p>^he means low match/high reach.</p>

<p>Actually I think he was right the first time. High indicates a greater degree of difficulty than low in terms of chancing.</p>
