Chances

Dear Candyman,

Hello! My name is Stephanie. I am currently a senior at a Public High School in PA. I have applied to Lafayette college under the regular decision plan. As a student I hope to study biology, with a possible international relations minor. I visited Lafayette over the summer and really liked the "feel" of the campus. During my visit, I also participated in an interview with the college Chaplain. Additionally, I sent an email to to my regional director to introduce myself and recieved an email reply back. I do not know if you answer individual admission chance questions, but if you would be willing to look over my STATs and give me your honest opinion on my chances of being admitted, I would greatly appreciate it.

Note* I know that my SAT scores are considerably low for Lafayette. I took the test multiple times and took a review couse, but I am just not a strong test taker.

Academic Stats:
GPA: 4.264 (weighted) 4.0 (unweighted)
Rank: 52/535 (as of last year, updated with mid-year report)
Current Schedule: AP Calc AB, Psychology, Statistics, AP English Lang, Chem 2 Honors, AP Biology
SAT:
Math - 550
Critical Reading - 700
Verbal - 620
ACT - 28

Extra Curriculars (In school)
NHS Member (Junior/Senior Year)
Club Ophelia mentor (senior year)
Student Ambassador (soph-senior)
Yearbook (freshman-senior, currently senior editor)
Key Club (soph-senior, currently secretary)
Class Government (fresh-senior)

Extra Curriculars (out of school)
Hospital Volunteer (200+ hrs, 2005 Volunteer of the Year)
Silver Award recipient (2005)
Vacation Bible School Teacher (2004, 2005)
Girl Scout Camp Counselor (2003, 2004, 2005)
Youth Group Member (have been on numerous retreats, currently helping to plan missions trip)

I have participated in leadership conferences such as the National Student Leadership Conference (2004) and the Summer@Brown Leadership conference (2005)

Thank you very much. I appreciate the input of a current lafayette student.
