Very stressed out. Please chance me?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm a current Junior and I'll start applying to colleges this fall. Something just hit me a few days ago when I realized how low my math grade is and I lost complete hope. I've been really stressed out for the past few days, please give me some faith guys. </p>

<p>GPA:3.51 UW, 3.88 W
SAT: 2200+
SAT II: Math II- 750+, World History- 640?, Physics- 750+
Extracurriculars: Nothing spectacular.
- SADD club 9th/10th grades
- Dance four years
-Tutoring 9th/10th/11th
-Some volunteer and internship hours
-Summer job at a restaurant
-Should be able to get another job this summer at a museum
Recommendations:
Counselor-Should be pretty good
Teacher- Should be good at well</p>

<p>I will make sure to work on my essays for weeks and make it amazing. Do you think I still have any hopes of getting into Barnard (it's my absolute first choice)? Or what other colleges do you suggest? I was thinking of Barnard, Washington and Lee (in-state), Pomona, CMC, Harvey Mudd, Smith, University of Richmond, Boston College, Penn State, William and Mary, George Washington University, NYU and a couple UC state universities. (It's a lot, but I'll narrow it down soon).</p>

<p>I would prefer to go to a small liberal arts college. I was planning on being a physics major, but my math grades, C, would probably hurt my chances, so I'll apply as undecided. Please be honest or suggest on how I could improve. Thank you! (:</p>

<p>So anxious. >_< Anyone?</p>

3

<p>No one at all?</p>

4

<p>What was the rigor of your class schedule?</p>

<p>I know about Bernard so I’ll just talk about that</p>

<p>Your GPA is low-average. your SAT is above average the average SAT for Bernard about 2150. The average ACT is about 32. What you are lacking is ECs which are very important. Even worse they aren’t concentrated. If your family is poor you can talk about how you had to work jobs which is impressive because admission officers see this high school student doing an adult job. If your family isn’t you can still talk about it but it won’t be as effective.</p>

W&M: High match

<p>I forgot to mention I’m Asian and I’ll be in about four APs senior year. Do I honestly have no chance for Barnard?</p>

8

<p>You have a chance but you are asian and therefore held to a higher standard.</p>

9

<p>Would it be too late for me to start showing demonstrated interest in physics now? They seem to ask how many years people have been in a club for.</p>

10

<p>Is Villanova honestly not an option for you?</p>

11

<p>I was thinking about Villanova as well, but I would like to be in the city like LA or NYC.</p>

12

<p>Can you post the break down of your real SAT score?</p>

13

<p>Math ~750
Reading ~725
Writing ~725</p>

14

<p>I don’t know anything about your post, but I did want to say that I am here for you! Don’t stress out, It will all resolve itself, even if it doesn’t seem that way! Sorry you are so stressed :(</p>

15

<p>Thank you @balletgirl6. (:
I can also speak five languages fluently if that counts at all.</p>

16

<p>Thats fantastic. It adds to your interestingness. Did you take classes to learn those languages?</p>

17

<p>Just took classes at school for Spanish. I learned the rest from my environment I guess.</p>

18

<p>Oh ok. I’d be sure to talk about speaking 5 languages fluently because its pretty impressive and not many other people do.</p>
