<p>I think other than that 3 on the APUSH exam you have a great chance at wesleyan because it seems you really have some passion for what you do. </p>

<p>feel free to chance me back: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1569000-chance-me-williams-calberkley-cornell-wesleyan.html?highlight=chance+williams[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1569000-chance-me-williams-calberkley-cornell-wesleyan.html?highlight=chance+williams&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You don’t have to submit AP scores before acceptances. I’d say you’re probably in at Wesleyan ED.

<p>bumpers please</p>

5

<p>bump again any more feedback will be great!</p>

<p>also I’d like to add that wesleyan is really looking for composers especially for film and given the fact that I’m a film composer with credits and a following I think that really helps.</p>

6

<p>Your SAT is around their 50%tile. Your gpa is superb. Your EC’s reflect your passion. I’d say High match/ low reach.</p>

7

<p>Definitely high match! Your app is looking lovely:)</p>

<p>Chance back: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=1555080[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=1555080&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>bump please. will chance back and any other opinions will be much appreciated!</p>

9

<p>Wow you have an amazing shot! Nothing bad really!</p>

10

<p>The only real negatives you have are the two sub-700 SAT scores. I say it’s a low reach for you and ED will most likely help. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

11

<p>if you post your chance link I will chance you back! thanks for all the responses any others would be greatly appreciated!</p>

12

<p>Everything seems to be in range, even though your sat ii’s are a bit low. Your ec’s are phenomenal. I doubt there are many other applicants with your experience in that field! Applying ED will especially help. I think you have a good shot of getting in. Thanks for the chance!</p>

<p>final bump and then im done with chances. thank you all! i chance back btw</p>

<p>Manhattan School of Music! My best friend is a piano major there too!
Scores are all fine and ECs are spot on!

<p>I honestly think it’s a high match/low reach. Which is great considering it’s a fantastic school. If you want more insight into the Wesleyan admissions process I’d reccomend reading this book called The Gatekeepers (can’t remember the author right now) Which follows an entire admissions season at Wesleyan and is really informative about the ways in which applicants are considered</p>

<p>chance me back!
