Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>I’d like to know what you think my chances are at the following schools:</p>

<p>MIT
FW Olin
Tufts
Bucknell
Notre Dame</p>

<p>SAT I Composite: 800M 690CR 670W (taken twice, considering one more time)</p>

<p>SAT IIs (estimates): 800 Math II, 750-800 Chemistry</p>

<p>GPA: 4.6 (weighted)</p>

<p>Rank: 1/255</p>

<p>ECs:
*Track and Field (nothing special… ran District times, but didn’t win anything there)
*Math Club
*Foreign Language Club
*Member of Science Olympiad team.
*Art Club (along with 4 years of an art elective class at my school)
*Piano (I was never formally trained, but I self-taught to read and play music)
*Participated in school tomato genetics project.
*Was part of a leadership program in my area where I, as part of a group, had to organize and carry out a community service project.
*Tutoring</p>

<p>Awards:
*1st place in ACS (American Chemical Society) chemistry test in my region.
*A few other math/science awards, not of much significance.</p>

<p>Courseload: Hardest courseload my school offers, straight A’s. AP courses include (through senior year): AP English Lit, AP US History, AP Psychology, AP Calculus, AP Chemistry.</p>

<p>So what do you think, and how can I improve my chances? Should I take the SATs one more time to bring up those CR/W scores?</p>

<p>your GPA is obviously very good, and i’m assuming your courseload is too. i would probably take the SAT again if you were sure you could raise the cr and w scores. maybe take some practice tests, to see where you stand before you sign up. are there any EC’s you’re really, really involved in? nothing really jumps out at me from your EC list…</p>

<p>so yeah, your GPA and math SAT score are very impressive, which will definitely give you a leg up. you should be set at bucknell, notre dame and tufts are probably matches, and olin and MIT reaches. basically, if you raise your cr/w SAT and maybe try and give yourself a more standout EC, you’re good to go. but, as is, you still have a shot at all of those imo.</p>
