ChanceMe for T20s

Well your stats certainly are not going to deter your acceptances! However, friendly reminder that it isn’t your stats that are going to get you in. Once you have a 1450+ SAT / 32+ ACT and 3.9+ UW GPA with a rigorous course load, you have likely passed the threshold. Any improvements past that will likely not affect your outcome that much, at least with schools like the Ivies.

Your awards seem to further distinguish your academic abilities. Clearly you will perform well academically wherever you go. My main concern would be your EC’s.

So you led a few clubs, volunteered some, and did soccer. That’s perfectly fine and I hope you enjoyed those activities, but with schools with 10% or less acceptance rates, nothing is going to stand out for them in that section. Since you asked me to be “brutally honest”, I would say this might lead to some waitlists or even rejections. But please don’t take this the wrong way, as long as these activities fulfilled you, you should be happy with what you did and not beat yourself up over it. And if you are really able to articulate their significance to you in your essays, then colleges will likely be able to visualize your potential impact on campus extracurricularly.

I think you should be excited and NOT fret about the decisions. Admissions are always crazy and unpredictable, ESPECIALLY this year. I am sure that your stats and essays will bring you to a college that gives you everything that you need and want. Best of luck! :slight_smile:

P.S. I have never heard of a University of Rice, did you mean Rice University? LOL
