Where do I stand?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi. I'm from NJ, and I go to a Jewish school with a dual-curriculum. I take Hebrew and a bible course and a Rabbinics course in addition to all the other stuff (Math, Science, SS, English, Spanish, etc.).
My approximate GPA weighted is a 3.6, although I'm just guessing.
But last year it was only a 3.49
I expect a 660+ on the SAT Math, a 720+ on SAT Verbal, and a 730+ on writing.
I'm not all that sure about what I'm going to do in terms of SATIIs, however. </p>

<p>My school is very competitive. I am only in ONE Honors/AP class, and that is Honors American Lit. I am at the top of that class with a high B+ and am in a good position to advance to AP. I hope to get Honors American History next year.</p>

<p>In Chemistry I averaged a 91.6 for the first semester of my 10th grade year.
In Social Studies I finished with an 89.4 for the first semester.
In Algebra2 I finished the semester with around a 95
In Honors English I finished with an 89.4
In Spanish 3 I finished with an 86 or so.
In Hebrew I finished with an 85
In Tanach (bible) I finished with a 95
In Rabbinics I finished with a 95</p>

<p>NOTE: Our school only allows you to advance to Honors Science and Math from 9th grade, and I didn't make it. So now I can not move up in those classes, sadly.</p>

<p>EC:
*Graphic designer
*Layout staff/Sports writer for school paper
*Will be forming a Debate Team next year (I'm 99% sure that this will happen)
*Varsity Tennis team in 10th grade (will be on 11th too)
(Please assume that I will have a solid amount of community service under my belt)</p>

<p>Colleges I'm looking at:
1. Brandeis - ED
2. Lafayette
3. Union
4. GW</p>

<p><strong>I plan on majoring in English/Philosophy</strong></p>

<p>I'd appreciate analysis/predictions on the probability of my getting into the four schools listed above, and some suggestions of other schools to look at.</p>

<p>brandeis looks good. take a shot at lehigh also.</p>

<p>Thanks.
I forgot about BU, I tried to edit my post but I could not find a button.</p>

<p>How are you predicting SAT scores? If you're a sophomore what did you get on the PSATs?</p>

<p>Brandeis sounds good. You're just a sophomore so you have alot of time to pull those lower grades up for your second semester and your junior/senior years. B's in non-honors could be problem.</p>

<p>Artyyy-
I took a practice test or two and I got roughly a 590-610 in Math (still have over a year to study), a 710 on Verbal overall. And If I remember correctly... I got about a 700 on Writing.</p>

<p>The only non-Honors B's are Hebrew and Spanish. Hebrew is an extra course which never really hurts you unless you do poorly in it. The colleges (I hope) will take my three extra classes into consideration when they see that B in Spanish.</p>

<p>Bump.
Sorry, I just really would like to know what position I'm in at the moment.</p>
