UT, Vandy, and Hopkins...Chances please?

<p>I'm OOS for all the schools I'm applying to. Although this is significant only for UT. I live in a crap state and attend a shi*hole of a school with 35% of the kids who are gangbangers.
I desperately want to leave. </p>

<p>GPA: 4.0/4.0 (7 APs and 7 AP tests will be taken through high school. Right now i have 2 4's and one 5. and i self studied for AP psych)</p>

<p>Rank: 3/256 (might be the deciding factor for UT?) </p>

<p>ACT: 30 (34 CR, 32 E, 29 M, S - Epic Fail. - I hear some colleges dont look at the science score. I read that on Vandy'y blog that they dont put much significance on the science, i think.)</p>

<p>SAT IIs: BioM and World History - 750</p>

<p>Essays: Decent - Good</p>

<p>Recs: 2 Great one (submitted to UT also)</p>

<p>ECs: Varsity Athletics with some community service and work</p>

<p>I just stumbled on CC and went into shock for a couple of minutes after browing some of the posts. Astonished at some of the scores some kids have and still get rejected. I come from a school that kids will think your a genius if you get anything above a 30. </p>

<p>So please chance me for UT (Liberal Arts and Nat Sciences), Vandy, and Hopkins</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>I think you’re in Vandy and UT. Hopkins is a reach. I know Vandy mostly cares about your grades and the rigor of your coursework, and all that is there for you. Sure your ACT is a little low but it’s not dreadful.</p>

<p>thanks for replying…anyone else?</p>

<p>Congratulations on getting into UT! I think you have a good chance at Vanderbilt, too. I don’t know about Johns Hopkins.</p>

<p>Thank You MidwestMom2Kids…I can finally relax knowing that I got into a great school…now just 2 more left.</p>

<p>I think you’re in for UT.</p>

<p>thanks man…ya i just got into UT (natural sciences) yesterday…</p>
