Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi Everyone, I would love some feedback on whether or not you think that I can get into some of the colleges that I am applying to. Here are my credentials: </p>

<p>GPA: 3.87 out of a 4.0 (I was rank #8 but it is going to be recalculated this year)
SAT: 1990 (critical reading 600, math 660, writing 730)
.... I am really trying to improve my SAT score :(... I am hoping to bring it up to at least a 2100!</p>

<p>I took all honors classes in high school and I took AP BIO and AP World this year.
I got a 5 in AP BIO, and I got a 4 in world</p>

<p>SAT subject scores : 650 in bio, 660 in math 1</p>

<p>I am going to take AP Spanish, AP Chemistry, and AP Statistics next year </p>

<p>Your ECs are amazing! So is your GPA. Really, the only thing you have to work on is that SAT score and your have a major shot at the reaches and even a chance at some of the super reaches! Also look into taking the SAT II score. Good luck and please chance me back (:</p>

<p>Do me a favor and ED at JHU. They have one of the best ED advantages if not the best. (50% of their class is ED). but do work on the SAT. If your academic qualifications were better, I would say ED to Penn because they have a good ED advantage. But don’t necessarily apply Ed for advantage. You have to be committed to the school.</p>

<p>Your EC’s and GPA are solid but for the “super reaches”, you really should try and improve your SAT I and II to at least 2100+ and 700+. If you get those up, your “super reaches” will become “reaches”, and “reaches” to “reality”</p>

5

<p>Your EC’s are good but academically your “reality” is really “far reach”.</p>

6

<p>Your EC’s look great! You should really study up on your SAT I and try for 2200+ if you are really serious about admission to your “super reach” or you want to help secure what you label as “Reality, Reach.” You should also retake your SAT II and aim for 750+ in both. Also it is important that you do very well (4.0 UW) during your senior year, but i’m sure you already know that. Make sure to keep a hold in all your clubs and really finish strong for the last few months, and you could possibly get into one of your “super reaches”! Good Luck! :)</p>
