Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>What are my chances??!?!
ACT - 34</p>

<p>SAT II Bio Ecology - 640
SAT II Math 2 - 750
SAT II US History - 650 (will retake)
how many more should i take?</p>

<p>PSAT - 221 (i think that means 2210)</p>

<p>GPA - unknown, but I’ve maintained A’s unweighted and high A’s and A+'s weighted throughout 10th and 11th grade. 9th grade i attended a private school and was top of my class, but i don’t know how colleges will interpret my grades from private school with my grades from public school (10th and 11th).</p>

<p>Extra Curricular Activities
-Cello since 8 years old
-Orchestra tour to China
-Music trip with a summer music camp to Vienna
-Played at Carnegie Hall and many other recitals (church halls mainly) with my cello
-Volunteer at church for summer camps and vacation bible school
-Missions trips to mexico, dominican republic (if you don’t know what that is, it’s a trip where you go live with people of a different country and introduce them to the Christian faith.)
-Volunteer work at my congressman’s office during the summer
-Volunteer work for the Korean American Public Affairs Committee (helped with coordinating events all across Long Island, NY including small festivals and made speeches at meetings.)

<p>first dont freak out…

3

<p>anyone else? bump</p>

4

<p>please help me bump</p>

5

<p>“PSAT - 221 (i think that means 2210)”</p>

<p>It doesn’t mean anything until you take the SAT. The PSAT is literally only a merit scholarship test and to give you an idea of what the SAT is like.</p>

6

<p>u didn’t take the SAT yet!! You should get on that ASAP if you want to apply to Stern ED…</p>

7

<p>youre done with 11th grade and havent taken the sat I’s?</p>

8

<p>Jesus. The OP took the ACT’s instead. She got a 34.</p>

9

<p>Too many schools. Shorten it a bit and find a focus for your school choices please (all I see are prestigious schools and lacs). It’s a bit all over the place.
Very decent chance for Stern ED (although it’s probably not such a good idea because NYU loves to give out loans to ED students).</p>
