Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I used the common application. These are my stats, tell me what you think.</p>

<p>GPA - 87.5/100 unweighted. My school doesn't weigh averages.
ACT - 28 (34 on the math and 10 on the essay)</p>

<p>I am not going to list my SAT score because the majority of you have only taken my SAT score into consideration, completely forgetting my ACT score, which is significantly higher.</p>

<p>I took two SAT 2's in Math 1 and U.S. History.</p>

<p>I live in Long Island, New York.</p>

<p>I went from an 85.5 average freshman year to a 93 average Junior year, with straight A's including a 96 in U.S. History and a 97 in Precalc (honors by acceleration)
I never got below a B in any class, and the lowest grade I've ever gotten in High School was an 80 in Cooking, which is what mainly brought my whole gpa down.</p>

<p>I did not apply for need-based financial aid.</p>

<p>Courses I'm taking this year and what my teachers tell me my grade is for 1st quarter (even though most of my schools don't factor in 1st quarter grades
AP Economics - B
Phys. Education - A
AP Environmental - A
AP Calculus AB - C
Senior Seminar English - A
Senior Seminar Social Studies - A
Senior Seminar Business - A
Senior Seminar Art - A</p>

<p>I had no previous AP courses before this year. </p>

<p>I'm Founder/President of the standardized test club. </p>

<p>Group Leader of The Friendship Circle</p>

<p>EMT volunteer at the local fire Department</p>

<p>Secretary of the Reaching Out (community service) club</p>

<p>A bunch of other ECs</p>

<p>No sports</p>

<p>Outstanding reviews from every teacher/college alumni/relative I showed my personal essay to.</p>

<p>2 teacher recommendations, 1 recommendation from my boss at the library (she let me read it and it is outstanding), and 1 guidance counselor recommendation (I am confident that they are all positive recommendations).</p>

<p>70 on my Hebrew Regents
94 on my English Regents
98 on my Global History Regents
94 on my Earth Science Regents
87 on my Chemistry Regents
96 on my U.S. History Regents</p>

<p>The Schools I am applying to:
NYU College of arts and science (Early Decision)
SUNY Binghamton Harpur (Early Action)
SUNY Stony Brook (Early Action)
SUNY Albany (Early Action)
Hofstra (Early Action)
SUNY Geneseo

Boston University College of General Studies
George Washington University Columbian college of arts and science
Saint Johns in Queens</p>

<p>You have a pretty good shot at all of the SUNY schools. </p>

<p>You should remember that most of the schools won't even look at your Regents diploma, mostly because not everyone comes from NY and has the option of taking the Regents exams. </p>

<p>BU is a pretty good school. I'd say you're a match for it, as well as GW. </p>

<p>Cornell and NYU.... I don't think I have enough info to say anything. You have a little more working against you than most applicants however. If your essays are good enough, then I think you'll be competitive though.</p>

<p>ok, so you've made about a trillion chance threads already.
none of the people who reply are admissions officers or the like.
most are kids like you and me who can't really tell what will happen.
stop making chance threads, bc they won't help you very much, and work on your essays or something!
good luck.</p>
