Chances at the Seven Sisters colleges?

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>3.5-3.6 G.P.A. (unweighted)
1800 SAT (will be retaking)
All honors and AP core classes
4 years of a foreign language
Will have good teacher recs
From the mid-west
Generally all my electives are geared toward my intended major of international relations
Only 4-5 ec’s </p>

<p>Though I know chance threads can be misleading, I just want to get an idea of whether or not I should even take the time to apply and how much of a holistic approach these colleges use in thier admissions. </p>

<p>So can anybody give me input on my chances at Mount Holyoke, Wellesley, Smith, and Bryn Mawr?</p>

<p>I know Vassar and Barnard are way out of my league.</p>

<p>Holistic doesn’t just mean they look at you “in toto.” Hey, she’s a good person who did well, etc. They look at the parts and how they fit together. Do those Ec’s add shine? Or were you just a member of a few standard clubs? Did anything related to int rels? Some great volunteer work? Chair of something? How well can you explain your interest in intl rels? Holistic means they look at all the parts to get an impression. Then, if need be, they can ignore some bit that isn’t as high as they might want. Want to share what those Ecs are? ps. be sure you are really looking deep and not omitting some activity- don’t assume Ecs are only school-related.</p>
