Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm a white/female/senior from a highly competitive, private, all girls Catholic high school. My weighted GPA is approx. a 4.1 and I take the most challenging courses offered at my school. (I will graduate with 5 AP classes) I am in the top 20% in my class (there are only 180 girls in my class and about a 100 of them have a 3.5 or higher- it's super competitive). I am on the high honor roll. I recieved a 31 on my ACT and unfortunately a 1910 on my SAT 670 on reading and 610 on math (some how I got a 2110 on my PSAT and I dropped ahhh!!!) I'm still going to get National Merit Commended Scholar.</p>

<p>current classes- H AP Microeconmics, H AP US Goverment, H AP English 4, Biology 2, Journalism, Philosophy, H AP Calculus BC, Adv. Photography</p>

<p>Other classes taken- H English 1, H English 2, H AP English 3, H Algebra, H Geometry, H Algebra 2/Trig, H Pre Calculus, H Biology, H Chemistry, Physics, World History, H AP US History, Psychology, Scripture, Catholicism, Morality and Social Justice, Speech, Photography, French 1 and 2, PE/Health, and Fitness (I needed pe credits b/c cheerleading doesn't count as a sport since it's at the boys school)</p>

<p>I am a cheerleader for three years, president of the French Club for two (vice president my sophomore year), A member of the National Honor society, a member of the spirit club, on the newpaper staff (columnist last year and Features Editor this year), part of the literary magazine commitee. I attended Harvard Model Congress as a member of the Press Corps. I also participated in theatre. </p>

<p>Outside of school I attended at film camp at Harvard, a Global youth Forum in Washington DC, I teach a literacy class three hours a week, I am also a senior Girl Scout (I recieved my silver award and I am working on my gold).
I currently have a part time job. I also model and participate in beauty pageants (I've won a few and it takes up a big chunk of my time)</p>

<p>I've also hosted three foriegn exchange students and been an exchange student to France. I have a boy in Haiti that I sponsor through Compassion International. </p>

<p>I'm wondering what my chances might be at a schools including NYU, BC, Emerson, or Fordham. Any input would be GREAT!</p>

<p>You're grades are very good- no doubt about that.</p>

<p>Howeverrrr...the SATs could stand to improve. That being said, if you were looking at ivies- I'd say- TAKE THEM AGAIN! But with your ACTs you should get into all of the schools you listed. However, you should take the test again, if only for financial aid reasons. A lot of schools are putting the mark at 2000 for certain scholarships. I've looked at 20+ schools and there is definitely a scholarship trend around the 2000 mark, which it sounds like you can definitely attain. Good luck!! :)</p>
