chance me!

unweigted gpa:3.3
weighted:4.2

just this year i transferred to public school from private school so that explains the low GPA.

I am an International Baccaleaureate candidate

senior schedule (still up for debate, if anyone has any suggestions on things to switch out) IB English 12, AP Psychology, IB Philosophy, IB Math (Calculus), AP Latin 5, IB 20th Century History
***IB is the same as AP

sports:
varsity soccer
varsity corss country
jv basketball
lacrosse

no music or art
(i know this is going to come back to haunt me, but i am taking piano and painting classes outside of school)

over 50 hours of community service both freshman and sophmore years
over 75 hours for junior and anticipated senior years
student council
Coummunity Action and Service Club VP
Various Clubs- amnesty, global citizens, model un, habitat for humanity, special olympics, urban ministry


No SAT or SAT II yet, i take that in march, then the subject tests in may (US History and Math and possibly english?)

Strong Writer and very personable, so im hoping to have excellant interviews.

Summer plans: pre-college program at Columbia, Stanford, Davidson, or Boston University
(if i get in!) and maybe be a page for either a House rep. or senator

I think you have a great chance of getting in! I'll post some of my stats to make you feel more reassured.

GPA: My school does it out of 100, my weighted is a 94, i'm pretty sure that is a 4.0?
My scores were not that great: 26 ACT/ 1780 SAT
I had a lot of extracurriculars but so do you! I'd say you're in

SAT-1940
math-510
reading-630
writing-800

what worries me is what i found on their website about what they're looking for...
"1100-1240 SAT for in-state students (critical reading and math only). 1160-1280 SAT for out-of-state students (critical reading and math only). "
and...
"Class rank in the top 15 percent "
because i transferred from private tp public school, my class rank is in the gutter...

any advice?
