Valedictorian Chance?

<p>Shouldn't you have already gotten your IB scores? I got mine already.</p>

<p>I have only received my math score and it was a 6. I am taking the rest of the IB tests in May 2009.</p>

<p>Oh ok. A 6? Wow that was pretty good. Did you take SL or HL?</p>

<p>sadly...SL....:o)</p>

<p>Hey, thanks for chancing me. I would say that if you are a good candidate for the schools that you listed. I would advise you to take the SAT again as well as the ACT. I think that would complete your resume.</p>

<p>Yale University - Reach (SAT's pulling you down)
Harvard College - Reach (same reason as Yale)
University of California, Davis - In
Chapman University - In
Texas Christian University - In
Westmont College - Don't know much about this school
Point Loma Nazarene University - Same as above
Stanford University - Reach (SAT's again)
University of Evansville - Don't know much
Arizona State University - Barrett, The Honors College - In with scholarship into regular school. don't know about ASU honors prog.
Pepperdine University - In
Southern Methodist University - In</p>

<p>I did Math SL too, lol. Im on part II though next year.</p>

<p>Thanks so much to all that "chanced" me...the advice really is helpful and I appreciate it! :o)</p>

<p>I think you're in at all except Yale & Harvard.</p>

<p>Maybe try the ACT?</p>

<p>Yale University-sorry SATs High reach
Harvard College-SATs.. high reach
University of California, Davis-not sure
Chapman University-no clue
Texas Christian University-no clue
Westmont College-no clue
Point Loma Nazarene University-no clue
Stanford University-High reach
University of Evansville-no clue
Arizona State University - Barrett, The Honors College-no clue
Pepperdine University-match
Southern Methodist University -no clue</p>

<p>sorry i am not from the states so i am not familiair with most of the colleges you are applying to. Advice... talke ACT.. get some more slight reach schools like Duke and u of chicago?</p>

<p>ok...Duke...U of Chicago...Thanks I will do some research. Do any of you CCers know about any great scholarships for Valedictorians? :o)</p>

<p>:O) Bump :o)</p>

<p>any more advice??? :o) thanks!</p>

<p>definitely get your SAT's up to at least a 2000. then you might have a better chance at yale, stanford, and harvard. i'd say if u have a higher SAT and really strong essays then you can get into stanford, i know quite a few people who have gotten in from my school. harvard and yale still might be a stretch, but you never know!!! good luck! harvard is gorgeous btw, have u ever been?</p>

<p>No, I have never visited Harvard or Yale. I visited Stanford in the spring and it was really beautiful. Harvard became a possibility when I receved the Harvard Prize Book Award, and the alumni told me I should apply. I have done the virtual tour on the web several times. It looks beautiful! I dare to dream. Have you ever seen Yale?</p>

<p>Why don't you retake your SATs and try to get 2100+?</p>

<p>Ah, you are sort of like me; great grades but SAT is holding you down a bit =). I would say since you are in IB and have a few good EC's that you have done for a while, you are a strong candidate for all the schools, but as you know, the ivys are random assortment. Good Luck and Chance me if you have the time on 'Just for kicks'.</p>

<p>Hey....I forgot to mention...I am also a First Generation College Student. Will that help me at all? :O)</p>

<p>SATs need to be up, up, up! Of course, HYS will be reaches regardless of your stats, but if you don't break at least 2000 and preferably 2100/2150, I'd say you're out for those schools. The rest of the list looks good however.</p>
