Would I have a chance at any of these places?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey - </p>

<p>I'm trying to decide on a school that will gve me a good amount of academic freedom. Do I have any chance at any of these? Are there any other colleges with close to open curriculums I should consider?</p>

<p>Also, I intend to go for an interview all of these places, if that helps at all.</p>

<p>Overall average - 88 (huge upward spike starting junior year - I slacked off for a couple of years. Also, I'm a senior thinking of taking a gap year, so I have a full year of senior grades that are 95+ with multiple AP's)</p>

<p>BTW, I have a few AP grades...</p>

<p>AP US History - 5
AP US Gov & Politics - 5
AP European History - 4
AP English Language -4
AP English Literature - 5</p>

<p>Colorado College </p>

<p>Lewis & Clark College (not quite open curriculum, but it's a very small core) </p>

<p>New College of Florida </p>

<p>New York University (Gallatin school... probably no chance) </p>

<p>Pitzer College (again, there's a distribution requirement, but it's small) </p>

<p>University of California-Santa Cruz (I don't think I even qualify for the UC system, do I? :P)</p>

<p>University of Rochester (HAHA, yeah right...)</p>

<p>Whitman College (I'm hoping that being from the East Coast will help me a bit here... that and the ineterview..)</p>

<p>Should I just go somewhere else (like Fordham, where I was admitted) and try to transfer? Or do any of you think I'd havea chance any of these places?</p>

<p>flopsy - Actually... I'm not a CA resident. :/ That's why I'm curious, heh. Do I have any chance at all?</p>

<p>Bill - Yeah, I figured those two would be tough as hell. What about the other ones? Do you think I"d have a shot at, say, NCF or Colorado?</p>
