What are my chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Do I have a chance of getting into Colby, Bates, or Bowdoin? </p>

<p>My GPA is 91 out of 100.
Rank: 82 out of 246.</p>

<p>I have done EC's such as Model UN, YES(Youth Engagement for Somalis), What's Next?!(Student based health center club), Interned for a state senator, interned for the Red Cross, and Civil Rights team member.</p>

<p>Some of the classes I took were African Studies, Asian studies, Asian philosophy, World Religions, Modern Military History, Psychology, Sociology, Forensics, Environmental Science...those are some of my electives. I received A's in all of those classes too. French for 3 years, Math(Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry), 3 years History(my school only offers 3 years), 4 Years English, 4 years Science...those are some of my core classes. </p>

<p>My essay was about my struggle growing up in predominately white state(Maine) as a Somali American. First generation. Immigrated to the country in 1996. I received great feedback from college students and teachers because of my essay, so I hope it helps me out. </p>

<p>I know how selective these schools are and I just wanted to know my chances. Thank you. </p>

<p>As you know, these schools are high selective. That said, your essay might particularly tweak the interest of AO’s at Bates due to the high number of Somali refugees in Lewiston. I could envision them seeing a role for you in helping to bring together the college and local Somali communities. I know that doesn’t really answer your question but I thought I’d throw it out anyway. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>They’re selective, yes, but I definitely think you have a great shot.</p>

<p>Rejected by both Bates and Bowdoin…I shouldn’t have even tried. Now I’m just waiting for my rejection from Colby. </p>
