<p>Oberlin, Grinnell, University of Rochester, Willamette, Whitman, and Occidental</p>

<p>Some brief facts about me:</p>

<p>Female, caucasian, public high school, live in the northwest
4.0 unweighted GPA, i’m probably in the top 5% of my high school but it’s not the best school in the area by any means
4’s on AP chem and AP lang&comp tests, taking 4 AP classes next year
32 composite on ACT
SAT IIs which i may or may not submit (didn’t study): 680 Chem 620 Lit
I’m involved in volleyball, service clubs at school, work at yoga studio, coach younger kids in volleyball, tutoring/mentoring program meet several hours/week, committee with 1 other student and several teachers at school, etc.</p>

<p>What are my chances of admission and, most importantly, of merit scholarship to the above schools?</p>

<p>you will gain admission at all. you may get some merit $, but unless your act is 34+ you may not get big money from any.</p>
