<p>So, I posted this on the general chances forum but no one responded. I would really, really appreciate your help.</p>
<p>Ok, here goes:</p>
<p>4.0 GPA
2nd in class of 270
6 or 7 APs (Still trying to decide on the 7th one…I really don’t want to take it - it’s US Gov and Politics…but do you really think one AP will make that much difference?)
Grades of 4 or 5 on all AP tests so far
35 on ACTs
2030 on SATs</p>
<p>Varsity swimming 2 years
Model UN 2 years
National Honors Society
Sunday School teacher (kindergarten) 4 years
Girl Scouts 4 years, working on gold award</p>
<p>But here’s the biggie - out of state, white female.
Do I have a good chance??? Thank you so much for your help.</p>
<p>What is the breakdown of your SAT score. Your SAT scores are below average for out-of-state and not inline with your grades or your ACT score. If you could improve anything I would recommend focusing on your SATs. 97% of applicants submit the SAT, for your information.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for your replies. I know, my SATs are out of line with everything else, but for some reason i just found the ACT so much easier. I’ve heard some other people are like that too, so hopefully I’m not too weird My SAT breakdown was 690 math and writing, 650 english. One other question: you said almost everyone submits the SATs, but do you think it would hurt my chances too much to just turn in the ACT score? Thanks again.</p>
<p>they can’t count it against you for submiting the ACT</p>
<p>if the school says they take it, then they take it… they don’t take it and then put your application on the bottom or the “weird ACT testers” pile =)</p>
