Re-Chance with updated stats

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey everyone, I posted here a month or two ago and asked to be chanced for BU and Amherst, though before I got all of my testing and EC information. Here's my updated stats, and I'd really appreciate it if someone could give me an estimate on whether I'll get in.</p>

<p>Schools
Amherst College
Boston University
Trinity College (CT)
University of Connecticut</p>

<p>Gender/Race: Male, Caucasian</p>

<p>GPA: 3.2 (unweighted; 3.4 weighted)/ 89.15 (weighted) </p>

<p>Scores: SAT - (800 reading/680 writing/550 math) - math is weak, I know.</p>

<p>SATII's - 800 Lit., 710 U.S. History</p>

<p>ACT - 29 (34 reading/23 math/29 science/29 English/9 essay)</p>

<p>AP's - English Lit (early college experience course at UConn). Considering taking the AP Latin test as well.</p>

<p>N.B. - My school only offers 3 AP's senior year, and two last year.</p>

<p>Honors - Latin IV (only honors Latin offered), Chemistry (sophomore year, final grade 72)</p>

<p>Class rank - top 25%</p>

<p>Awards -
Cum Laude, National Latin Exam - 10, 11 (This year's not yet taken)
Maxima Cum Laude, Latin Authors and Literature test - Connecticut State Latin Day
**
Intended Major **- Classics/Latin and Greek ( I have consistently earned no less than a 95 in my Latin classes, with it usually hovering between 97 - 100) and considering Premed to go with it.</p>

<p>Essays/Rec's</p>

<p>I can't really judge the quality of the essay for you, but I did receive a "This is perfect! Send in right away!" from my English teacher when I asked her to read it over.</p>

<p>My recommendations are likely excellent. I have one from my Latin teacher, and as I'm pretty sure I am the only student that has ever shown a remote interest in her subject that it is quite good; my guidance councilor attested to the same.</p>

<p>I have one from my chemistry/physics teacher that should be good, I didn't do great in chem but made up for it with physics.</p>

<p>I'm still waiting on one from my English teacher. As she runs the literary magazine, we've become close, and I don't doubt it will be good either.</p>

<p>So could you guys help me out?</p>

<p>Oh, as for financial aid - I’ll likely need a fair amount. Not that I’ll need a full ride or anything close, but I don’t come from a family with huge financial resources.</p>

<p>Amherst College–reach. 550 hurts
Boston University–in
Trinity College (CT)–high match/low reachish
University of Connecticut–in</p>

<p>chance me back?

<p>Hey! I wanna do Classics too ;D</p>

<p>I’d say reach for Amherst
Not sure about others sorry</p>

<p>Thanks guys. Anyone else? Anyone know of any other schools I should take a look at?</p>

6

<p>Thread bumped</p>

<p>not sure about the reaches and matches and what not, but if you are considering taking the AP latin exam without taking an AP latin course… not a wise move</p>

8

<p>Oh I meant to edit that out.</p>

<p>I took the BU Latin Scholarship test earlier this month, which is supposed to be AP like in difficulty - it was so incredibly difficult. So yeah that plan is off :P</p>
