<p>Hey, since i'm going to be sending my apps off by friday, and everyone on here knows what they're doing, i was wondering what my mediocre stats could get me into</p>

<p>3.9something weighed (about an A- average here)
sats were like 700 math and 660? verbal
all IB classes, 35 hours towards graduation
v. soccer for 12 years
nhs, numerous clubs
trilingual
huge in art, state twice, one in florida
etc.</p>

<p>im not listing the whole thing, but based on crap grades/scores, which of these are reaches, insane reaches, good matches, etc</p>

<p>Macalester
Purdue
Oberlin
Bard
vassar
boston university
boston college
university of chicago</p>

<p>i reeeeeaally need someone's opinion, i'd really be grateful</p>

<p>since you mentioned "crappy grades," it would've helped you a LOT if you just had higher SAT scores. But since you also have mediocre SAT scores, I don't mean to discourage you, but you should apply to lower colleges. Boston U and Purdue are okay for you - you should have a shot, but not a BIG shot. Chicago is way off the list. You are not in their SAT median range. You have to match at least that if you want to get away with poor grades.</p>
