Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi, I'm currently a junior at a public high school in Massachusetts.
I was wondering whether or not I could get into some of the following schools:
Bowdoin, Wesleyan, Vassar, Brown, Bates, Bard, Colgate, Tufts, Hamilton, and any other good fits?</p>

<p>My overall grade point average is around a 3.7
and my weighted is probably around a 4.2</p>

<p>My grades are as follows:</p>

<p>Freshman year:
Honors english B
Honors geometry B-
Honors Spanish A+
Honors World History A
Art 1 A
Honors Physical Science A-</p>

<p>Sophomore year:
Honors english A
Honors Algebra II C+
Honors Spanish II A+
Honors US History I A
Art II A
Honors biology A-</p>

<p>Junior year
AP English B+
Advanced pre-calc A
Honors Spanish III A+
AP US History A-
Art III A-
AP Biology B+</p>

<p>(my junior year grades are just as of now)</p>

<p>E.C's</p>

<p>3 years of enviromental/recycling club - elected secretary junior year
2 years of STAND club (to help the genocide in Darfur)
2 years of community service club
started a geography club (president)
got chosen to participate in upenn model congress</p>

<p>3 years of volleyball
1 year of rowing
2 years of dance</p>

<p>community service:
2 summers of a week at a work camp (through church)
2 years of a community art project/ mural painting with younger kids
lots of hours through community service club. for example- working at a food pantry/homeless shelter regularly
lots through environmental club- recycling weekly through the school
a couple things here and there, like relay for life.
Overall, probably around 200 hours</p>

<p>I have yet to taken the SATs but will probably perform moderately well on them. </p>

<p>I'm probably in the top 10-15% in my class</p>

<p>I think I want to study history in college, but am not positive.</p>

<p>for the most part those are all top tier liberal arts and ivy (Brown). Generally speaking, freshman year doesn’t count too much and even then it’s still relatively alright. The only thing that hurts you right now is that C+ and for the most part, most top tier schools don’t take students who get Cs. Your grades have been steadily on the rise so that’s a definite plus.</p>

<p>As for your ECs and sports, which I’m assuming you’ll be doing a fourth year for volleyball? you seem to be in pretty good shape. a 2200-2300 on the SATs will probably get you into some of those schools. I highly doubt brown, but you have a legitimate shot at most of those schools</p>

<p>lulz I am a history major looking at Brown and LAC’s (incl. 'Gate and Hamilton). I think you’d have an especially good shot at Bates, Hamilton, and maybe Bard if you are a good fit, and others as well depending on test scores and stuff.
I’d recommend Lafayette and Trinity also as similar in feel and slightly easier, and maybe Clark and Muhlenberg as safeties(?)</p>
