Chances? RD

White Jewish Female from Savannah, Georgia attending small private school. I am a senior.

Rank: School does not rank, but I am in the top 10% (the only reason why I know this is because I was inducted into the Cum Laude Society as a junior, which means that I am in the top 10%) I am ranked either anywhere from 5,6, or 7 in a class of 80

SATs: 720 CR/720 M/650 W
SAT IIs: US History: 740
Math IIC: 710
Bio-M: 610

GPA: 91 unweighted (colleges do their own weighting of grades, so there is not point in putting that down)

8 APs total, and they are not offered in freshman or sophomore years. No more than five APs are allowed in any one year, and only four APs are offered to Juniors.

Jr. APs: 4s on US History, Calculus AB, and English Language
Sr. APs: Calculus BC, Environmental Science, Government, English Lit, Spanish Lang

Only two honors classes are offered each year in math and science, which I have taken since freshman year.

ECs (in no particular order):
Girl Scouts: I have been involved since I was five. I have earned my Bronze and Silver Award.
Journalism: 3 years, and I have been Editor for the past two.
Amanuensis: staff of the literary magazine for 4 years
Crew (rowing): 3 years, varsity since freshman, boat was 2nd in region Freshman year.

Pillow Pals for Tots- a community service project that I organized in collaboration with the United Way where pillows are filled with baby food, toys, and toiletries to give to foster children when they are taken to a new home
Piano- I have been involved since I was 9. “Perfect Practice” Award. I know it sounds weird, but it is the runner-up award to “Student of the Year”.
World Quest/Council on World Affairs- 2 yrs. World Quest is a national competition held in Washington, D.C. Sr year- Vice President of the Council.
Students Advocating Living without Substance Abuse (SALSA)- Head for Two years, been a member for four.

Awards:
Georgia Certificate of Merit- Signifies that I am in the top 5% of my junior class, but that is debatable.
Wellesley Book Award- presented by Wellesley College
History Award- received freshman and sophomore years
Spanish Award- received freshman year
Cum Laude Society
National Honor Society

Work experience: I worked on a film this summer entitled Molly and the Good Shepherd as an assistant director. I am originally from Los Angeles, and my whole family is in the film business (my father is a director and cinematographer and my mother is a stunt woman), so that is how I got the job.
I also babysit a lot. It's a good thing I don't have a social life

I applied through IDP and my stats weren't quite as good as yours, though my ec's were probably about the same and my essays were really good. I got in, so going by that, if you're essays are good, I'd say you have a really good chance.

The only thing is they may have lower standards for people using IDP since it shows such high interest, so I don't really know.
