What are MY chances of getting in?

<p>Hello, I’m a Senior for the class of 2010, and I consider myself a bit ignorant of the college process, due to the lack of a counselor. I would like to know how my standing looks and if I am in any way competitive for top colleges. I appreciate any suggestions, and thanks for coming! </p>

<p>(not in order of preference) (any other recommendations?)</p>

<p>690 and 740 SAT for languages sounds as though you are nothing like trilingual.</p>

<p>I think your stats are pretty good, you may want to try and get some of your test scores up (maybe consider the SAT if the ACT isn’t going well?). You seem to have a good shot, though I recommend you organize your resum</p>

<p>Yeah, you should try to raise your test scores… and Wellesley doesn’t have business/marketing so you would have to look elsewhere if you wanted that concentration, though we do have very strong English/ Poli Sci/ Econ, which you also seem to be interested in.</p>
