Please Chance Me

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>This is my first post.</p>

<p>I'm a white female who lives in the PHL suburbs. I attend a small, very good private school. About 20 percent of the class has National Merit recognition. The school does not rank students or give a grade point average. </p>

<p>I am mostly a solid B student. My best subjects are in language arts. My worst are in math. I have taken math through pre-calculus. I have no AP or honors classes (but I would have to argue that almost all of the classes I take at my school would probably be honors or AP classes in many if not most public high schools). I would estimate my GPA for the 4 years to be about a 3.3. I have never received a grade lower than a B.</p>

<p>My SAT scores: CR 700 Math 580 Writing 660 I haven't taken any other standardized tests, and I don't plan to.</p>

<p>ECs include chorus and drama-related activities (including lead roles in school productions), sports (varsity volleyball, dance, cheerleading). </p>

<p>Here is my list. Thanks to all in advance--I really appreciate it.</p>

<p>Tufts
Boston University
Brandeis
Clark University
Austin College
Trinity University (San Antonio)
Temple</p>

<p>BUMP–please chance me. I’m getting all of my applications for RD ready to submit.</p>

<p>Your ECs are pretty good for the colleges that you are applying. Your GPA is fairly decent.</p>

<p>Out of your list, I only know about 4 of the 7 colleges: </p>

<p>Tufts - reach (With a 1940 for SAT and no rigorous courses, it will be very difficult to get in Tufts without something that is outstanding/extraordinary.)</p>

<p>BU - match </p>

<p>Brandeis - high match (Brandeis is mainly a liberal arts school and your SAT scores will help indicate your strengths in the social sciences through CR and W. The M section might hurt your chances though in addition with your lack of rigorous courses.)</p>

<p>Clark - match</p>

<p>I’m also perplexed that you haven’t taken any SAT II’s considering how some of these colleges <em>require</em> SAT II’s. I know this for a fact because I’ve recently sent my college applications to BU and Tufts for RD, which also require two SAT II scores along with the SAT I Reasoning Test.</p>
