Where do I have a chance??

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi! I was just wondering if you guys could give me some input on what schools would be good matches for me based on my resume. I have a ton of schools I'm interested in but I'd love an objective perspective. (I'm new so hopefully I'm setting this up right..)</p>

<p>Currently a junior at a public school in the bay area (CA). Female. White. Middle class.*
3.97 UW
4.23 W (for now)
We don't rank but I'm definitely in the top 1-2%*
Took SATs for the first time in December and got 1970 (690 CR/640 W-8 essay/640 M)*
I just took them again in march and I thinking did better in CR and M but the essay is going to kill my W score so I'll take it at least one more time, aiming to break 2100.
ACT, APs, and SAT IIs to come</p>

<p>Sorry about the length</p>

<p>I'm interested in studying neuroscience (but I'm also interested in psychology, law, and marketing) somewhere like kenyon, carelton, u of Rochester, ND, WashU or UCSD.</p>

<p>So what do you think? Thanks! :)</p>

<p>Bump? I’d really appreciate some input! :)</p>

<p>I think that if you break 2100 you have a very good shot at those schools listed at the bottom and as long as you break 2000 I still think you have a pretty good shot. Good luck!</p>

<p>Wow really? I sure hope so… After looking around this site for a few days I’ve developed quite the inferiority complex and have started thinking I’d be lucky to get in anywhere!
Thank you so much for the opinion!
I really hope that I’m on the right track</p>

<p>You have a very good shot at those schools. Also, you have time in your hands. Improve SATs.</p>

<p>So my test scores have changed to
SAT: 2050 (cr-730 w-670 m-650)
ACT: 29 (english-33 math-29 reading-25 science-28)</p>

<p>Im going to take the SAT one last time but is my ACT score worth sending in? Could it even hurt me?</p>
