What are chances

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>SAT I: 1330(and I'm going to take the 2400-pt new one)
Plan to take 3 SAT IIs as well. Expecting at least the higher 600s, perhaps low to mid 700s on writing/history.</p>

<p>Predicted final UW GPA: 3.6ish
Predicted final rank: 20th Percentile(an extremely competitive school)</p>

<p>ECs are generally pretty good including:
Student Council
National Honors Society
2-time NYLF Technology Forum attendee
People to People Attendee
Various Community Service Hours(this needs to be compiled, but it's a mediocre amount of community service)
[will be] 4-year member of the School District's Student Advisory Committee(only 2 students per grade, per school, chosen. In my case, a girl and myself out of nearly 1000 kids in our now-Junior class).
Board(large district, mind you... there are even fewer students, perhaps 4 or 5, on this 200 person council).
Founder and President of a Political club
4-year Athlete on the Golf Team(could I be RECRUITED for this?)
"Overall Student of the Year" Freshman Year - Principal's award
[[[Will intern in D.C. this summer for a month or more]]]</p>

<p>Recs: Several congressmen I know
Superintendent of our 30k+ student school district
For several colleges, I might have someone from Rotary International to recommend me who is an alum(got a big social network there)</p>

<p>Probable Majors: Economics, Political Science, Finance
(I may double major if I go the lib. arts route with econ. and poly sci.)</p>

<p>Please include suggestions of schools for me and my political/financial interests. I am wanting to find several LACs that I could go for in addition to below.</p>

<p>SCHOOLS PROBABLY APPLYING TO(and a few others TBD, a lot I know):
Washington and Lee University
Vanderbilt University
Tulane University
Georgetown University
New York University</p>

<hr>

<p>Texas A&M University(I'm in on academic admit, consider this a safety)
Baylor University(Mainly to satisfy my parental Baylor alums)</p>

<p>I'd be very satisfied if I had to fall back on A&M, I've visited and temporarily lived there for three days before and it is a beautiful campus and a great school. But naturally, even with my slightly above-average stats, so, hell, I am going to shoot for the moon, because I've always been taught to reach for the sky in whatever you do.</p>

<p>hey, you're the guy who called me self indulged. LOL
I'd say your chances are decent-likely for most of the universities you are applying to. Glad you're not trying to get inta harvard or anything like that, cause then i'd say you have a nil to minimal chance.</p>

<p>I'm not going to go for Harvard, but I might go apply to Stanford or MIT.</p>

<p>Especially I'd think MIT, who has a great business school but is not the school people tend to go to for business degrees, their (Sloan I believe it is?) school of business is solid and I might apply just for the hell of it. Who knows, you would never know how the cards play out if you didn't apply.</p>

<p>NOW does anyone think my chances to get into Washington and Lee(number 13 LAC U.S. News, as a ref.) or Vanderbilt, or Georgetown, become "very likely" if I go ED?</p>

<p>yea, mit and stanford are gonna be reaches for you. Assuming you're not a URM, your sat is a bit low. You should apply to a school witha strong political department if that's your passion. Those congressmen ya know, are they like well-known, or are they just local obscure congressmen anyone could get ta know?</p>

<p>No kidding.</p>

<p>I'm going to be raising the SAT on the new one, as writing is my forte, however I won't probably go above what is equiv. to a 1450 or 1400 on this older 1600 point scale.</p>

<p>They are well known congressmen. These guys know people.</p>
