So I just got my SAT scores...

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I received my sat scores this morning. It was a 2000. I am really disappointed, but I will be retaking until I get a 2200, no doubt for me.
My GPA weighted is 4.18 out of 4.5. Unweighted is 3.95.
I do a lot of extra curricular activities. I volunteer at a local historic house, and play in a university orchestra. I'm also an officer in my school's Model UN club and am the president/founder of our History Club. There is more….
I've lived abroad too, which I will write my essay about.
Also, French National Honor Society, National Honor Society etc.
Could you chance me for the following schools? I want to be a history major. </p>

<p>University of California Berkeley
Cornell University (double legacy)
Johns Hopkins University (special connection too)
Georgetown University
George Washington University
McGill University
Boston University
University of Chicago
University of Virginia
Villanova University</p>

<p>I'm a white female living in New England, if that makes a difference in anything.
Also if you have any suggestions about other really good history schools, i'd be interested in hearing. Thanks!</p>

It would be highly appreciated!!!</p>

<p>Shoot for a 2250. That’s the real rarified air. You’re a sold candidate across the board. GL</p>

<p>Do you think I should take the ACT?</p>

9

<p>Go for it, if you have enough time to study.</p>

10

<p>does anybody else have opinions about my list of schools? It would be really helpful, thanks!</p>

<p>All of those schools have awesome history departments, and history is such core subject that most notable universities will have great programs.</p>

<p>Don’t sweat your 2000; I got a 1950 my first time and brought it up to a 2170 after two more tries. I got into Gtown and UVA, so I can personally tell you you’ll have a great shot at those two schools.</p>

<p>Thank you so much. It’s great to hear about your scores and those two universities!</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>
