Please chance me for carleton, grinnell, haverford, oberlin, and macalester!

The best thing I have going for me is my grades.
ranked in 92 percentile (top 8 percent) of a competitive class of 500-something in a public nj high school
weighted gpa of 4.4, unweighted of 3.7
only 3 B's in high school (b in physics, b+in algebra II, B- in pre-calc)
5 AP classes, 2 junior year (french, art history) and 3 senior year (calc ab, french lit, euro)

sat's don't match up to my grades unfortunately
1900 (550 cr, 650 math, 700 writing)

I know I should've done more extracurriculars but this is what i've got
4 years on ultimate frisbee team (senior year captain)
french tutor for elementary students
taught frisbee to elementary students during my lunch

I've already been accepted to:
University of Pittsburgh
SUNY Purchase
Rutgers
and watilisted at SUNY Geneseo
Although I'd much rather go to one of the private liberal arts schools (especially carleton, grinnell, or haverford) that I've applied to.

You'll have to sign the lease before I'll give you a chance.

I was actually given guaranteed admission for the spring term at geneseo which is looking pretty good right now considering the state of the economy and your assessment of my chances at some of the other schools.
