So I'm confused...opinions would be lovely

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>So I've done threads before and I've received conflicting messages about my chances. I've finally finalized my list, and I was wondering if I could receive feedback about my chances at these schools because I am kind of stressed about college as many of you can probably sympathize with.

female from CA
ethnicity: multiracial mexican/white
GPA: 3.83 uw, 4.5 w I've taken challenging classes
SATs: 2200 (700 m 800 cr 700 w)</p>

-I also work as an office asst. (20 hours a week during the summer, 2 hours a week first semester, more second)</p>

<p>the schools are:
University of Puget Sound

<p>I love your list! I'd be happy to attend any of them, too!
I think you will have some difficult decisions to make, as you are bound to get into several.
Be sure that your essays reveal the compassionate person you appear to be. Good luck!</p>

<p>Wow. I'd say you're a match at all except perhaps Pomona (actually, I dont know much about the others, except Lewis & Clark)</p>

<p>BTW, what AP's, honors did you take?
AP scores?</p>

<p>I really like your list too, and hope you consider a non-CA school back east or midwest. Vassar, Oberlin, Kenyon (esp if you're a writer), and Carleton are all very highly regarded; go visit the ones you get into and go where the feel and $$$ are best. Good luck.</p>

<p>I'm definitely considering schools far away, it's just that often they're more competitive than the schools I'm applying to on the west coast so we'll see</p>
