U Chicago, Wash U St. Louis, Middlebury, and Oberlin Chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello!
I'm a senior at a private school in Memphis, TN. I know my EC's lack breadth- I have a twin sister, and my parents can't chauffeurs us to more than one or two activities each :(. I chose choir and swimming, my twin chose choir and cross country, and that was our limit. My dad is Dutch and my mom is Canadian. I'm a dual Canadian/American citizen and I travel to Europe as frequently as our budget allows to visit my dad's family. I speak English, French, and Dutch. </p>

<p>National Merit semifinalist
Weighted GPA- 4.64 (a pretty meaningless number, to me)
Superscore SAT- 2260 (shoddy by CC standards, I know ;) )
SAT IIs: 800 French Reading, 800 World History, 790 Bio E, 620 Math IIC (<em>weeps</em>)
5's on the following APs; AP Bio, AP Eng Lang, APUSH, AP World History, AP Latin Vergil
I'm in the national honor society and the national French, Latin, English, History, and Science honor societies</p>

<p>I'm the president of my school's science honor society. I've organized a blood drive and mentor students in science in the elementary school affiliated with my high school.</p>

<p>I tutor in French and Latin and have scored very well on the national French and Latin exams.</p>

<p>I am writing and illustrating a children's book as an independent study.</p>

<p>I write for my school's literary magazine and am working on a novel. I also like to think I write some pretty decent essays. I'm on my school's Wordsmith team. </p>

<p>I was the Head Chorister of my church's youth choir, have been accepted into advanced Royal School of Church Music intensive choral courses, have passed the high-school level Royal School of Church Music vocal performance and music theory exam and am working on the curriculum for the college-level one. I have taken piano lessons since 3rd grade and am self-studying the organ. I give piano lessons, but I don't get paid, so I don't know if it counts, alas. </p>

<p>I swam at a varsity level in 10th and 11th grades. </p>

<p>I'd really appreciate any comments! I think that UChicago and Midd are my biggest reach schools, but I think that I have a better chance at Oberlin...</p>

<p>Thanks!!!!</p>

<p>I think you have a great shot at most of them because you have good grades and very good SAT scores. Also, your EC’s sound dedicated, even if they arent numerous (which can be a bad thing too). I say definitely Chicago, Wash U is too strange to really tell, not familiar with Middlebury and Oberlin is in too.</p>
