Hey Everyone! I was just wondering what you think of my chances at this school:

- 12th- 4 AP’s (Psych, English Lit, Macro Economics, and US Government)
- 6 Honors Classes

Tests:
I’m only using my ACT score, b/c it was vastly superior to my SAT, and it covers my SAT 2 requirement, so here it is:
- 31 ACT Composite (about 1400 and 2070-2080 equivalent on the SAT)
o 35 Reading, 31 English, 29 Science, 28 Math
EC’s:

- VP of Teen Advisory Board at Public Library (coordinating activities for teens)
- Mentor for Book Buddies (teaching students ages 3-9 to improve literacy skills)

Work Experience:
- 2 summers (10th and 11th):
o Public Library (Summer Reading Mentor; teaching elementary school kids to improve literacy skills)
o Camp Counselor

Miscellaneous:
- Terrific Essay (I think) --- describing my experiences in a “second home” --- West Hartford, and how it has shaped me
- Great Recs

you will be very competitive, good chance, IMO. Lots of people apply from NY though.

I think you're a match! It'd be helpful if you were applying ED, but if it's not your top choice then there's no point

Tsch. You are getting in. They will love you. I'm quite jealous, in fact.

Yup. Early Decision and everything. My Stats are decent...just not quite as awesome as yours...I have NO sports, simply because my genetically weak lungs would never allow me to do such a thing. I'm also a Caucasian female from Northern Virginia, so that doesn't really help...

If you're curious, I put more details up somewhere else on this William and Mary message board thingy...

Ugh. Having people tell you you'll get in really doesn't help, believe it or not. I'm hardwired to think I'll fail all the time. It's rather annoying.
