Williams chances? I'll chance back!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Okay, so I've posted a few chance threads before but I just want to post this one for a specific college I'm applying to. I would LOVE to be accepted at Williams (I know that it is a very elite school, and that it is a struggle for top students to be accepted there), but I really do adore the idea of going there. So I was wondering if you guys could chance me?</p>

<p>34 ACT (one sitting)
2220 SAT (no need to superscore, increased every section on second sitting)
800 chem sat ii
700 math level 2 sat ii
5 on AP chem (only AP offered)
Ranked 3/75
4.0 UW GPA</p>

<p>Member of school choir, select choir, and boys octet. Frequent soloist, overall very involved in vocal music at my school. Also two-time NYSSMA area all-state choir qualifier.</p>

<p>Lead in five school musicals (I've been involved in every musical at my school for my six years there)</p>

<p>Class president for five years, now student council president. Organized many fundraisers and activities, organized charities, and fostered school spirit. </p>

<p>Cross country team member for six years, captain for three. 2009 individual state qualifier, first team small school for two years.</p>

<p>Track team member for six years, captain for two. Two-time nominated track team all-star. 4x800 meter relay school record holder. </p>

<p>Member of national honor society for five years (since earliest acceptance possible in 8th grade)</p>

<p>Part time job throughout summer working at local convenience store.</p>

<p>First chair euphonium in school band for four years.</p>

<p>Essay discussed the impact my dog (who has passed away) on my life, and how she eradicated my fear of dogs and incited my passion in the veterinary sciences. Kind of a quirky essay, but also (just my opinion haha) a bit touching at times.</p>

<p>Small school, not many opportunities (stressed that in my application) and my school's class ranking system sucks (also explained in my application).</p>

<p>Did you apply ED I? Because I did! I think you would definitely have a great chance of getting in here!</p>

<p>No, I didn’t apply ED, because there are a lot of other schools that interest me, I just couldn’t pick haha! When do you find out about your ED admission?! I really hope you got in!</p>

<p>You are a really strong applicant, I think you have a great chance of being accepted there. Honestly, kids from my school last year had far fewer EC’s and several were still accepted.It’s refreshing that your essays don’t focus on music. Also, be careful when explaining the ranking system of your school, since many colleges dislike when students try to “make excuses” for themselves. I’m applying too, but RD. I highly doubt I’ll get in!</p>

<p>Early decision comes in Thursday. Biting my nails! But good luck for RD! I really think you have a great shot getting in here!!! Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Thanks overachiever27! Yeah, I explained the ranking system in depth (my school is very small and my teachers and guidance counselors don’t really get the big picture.) classes like college keyboarding and college accounting receive equal weighting to that of AP chemistry, when every kid gets 100s in those keyboarding and accounting classes, and AP chem (only AP offered) is much more difficult. I could have become the valedictorian, but I didn’t want to take those classes that weren’t challenging JUST for class rank, and instead focused on chorus, band, and higher level music theory classes.</p>

<p>Thanks DevPatel! I hope you’re accepted!! :slight_smile: and good luck in your academic future! :D</p>

<p>I have to say that i have the impression that you are a very unique, honest person and i believe that is going to be noticed in your app. Your essay topic is very good imo and your stats are amazing. You should get into Williams, i don’t see why any school would reject you. Good luck and chance me back if you can, look for “my final chance thread”.</p>

<p>Thankyou guys, very much! Your words are very comforting and you have really bolstered my confidence in the past hour haha :slight_smile: I’ll chance you guys back right away!</p>

<p>You chances are definitely very high. Your academics are impressive, and you have quite a list of extracurriculars. If I were you, I would definitely apply ED, because since it’s your dream school, a higher acceptance chance wouldn’t hurt, right? :slight_smile: Good job, though, you’re a really strong applicant! :slight_smile: </p>

<p>You are easily qualified for a Williams student, your ECs match your academics, both of which are over the Williams standard. Good luck! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1428626-northwestern-ed-applicant-chances.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1428626-northwestern-ed-applicant-chances.html&lt;/a&gt; chance back?</p>
