<p>If someone could tell me what they think my chances are at getting into each of these colleges, that would be awesome! I'm also hoping to play tennis in college.
I'm interested in: Wesleyan, Hamilton, Colgate, Connecticut College, NYU, Northeastern, Boston College, Boston University, Vassar, and Brandeis.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.8
SAT: 2000
(CR:650 M:650 W:700)
My school offers very few AP classes but I have taken AP Comp, AP Bio, AP Calc, and AP Lit.
Over the summer I took a genetics college-credit course at Cambridge University in England.
I have played tennis for my high school team all four years and have been ranked #1 for the past three.
I have participated in two internship programs, both during my junior year. One was at an elementary school where I assisted children with learning problems and the second was a medical internship at a hospital.
I created the Pre-Med club at my school during my junior year and helped inform many students about the medical field with the aid of many professionals.
I am a huge theater-nerd and have participated in many plays during my life including:
Les Mis: Fantine
Noises Off: Dotty Otley
Bye Bye Birdie: Rosie
Gypsy: Mama Rose
West Side Story: Anita
I played on my high school freshman and JV basketball teams from freshman to sophomore year and was on the track and field team for 3 years.</p>
<p>If there is anymore information you would like, I'm happy to provide it!</p>
<p>It helps to know your state, ethnicity, and major. Based on what I’ve read so far it seems like you’re in the northeast and not a URM, which won’t help.</p>
<p>Your ECs are outstanding and should offset your lower test scores. I’d say that all of those LACs are high matches-low reaches with solid essays. NYU is tough because it is more stat heavy than the smaller schools and same with Northeastern. BU is a low match.</p>
<p>You’re definitely a strong candidate for all of these schools.</p>
<p>Wesleyan- Low Reach/High Match
Hamilton- High Match/Match
Colgate- High Match
Connecticut College- High Match
NYU- Low Reach/High Match
Northeastern- High Match/Match
Boston College- Low Reach
Boston University- Match
Vassar- Low Reach
Brandeis- Low Reach/High Match</p>
<p>Yeah none of those will help much; California has strong representation at most schools. At this point just make sure that you love your essays and don’t be afraid to take a chance with those LAC supplements. Is there any reason why you’re only applying to schools in the northeast?</p>
<p>I’ve lived in California my whole life. I need a change. Plus my whole families from the northeast and every time I go back, I love it. Also, because I have no need for financial aid, does that help my chances at all?</p>
<p>Most top schools claim to be “need blind” but they definitely have nothing against applicants willing to pay full tuition. College is a business after all, sadly.</p>
