<p>While I have taken my SAT, I am not including it in the thread, because I would like to be chances based on E.C.'s and school situation. Assume it falls near the average range.</p>

<p>4.0 UW highschool GPA
4.15 W (School only offers 1 AP/a few honors. Have taken all)
Ranked 2/19 (Explain in my supplemental info how I have taken hardest courses, received perfect grades, and am still relegated to salutatorian. Long explanation)
4 college classes currently on transcript- 4.0 community college gpa. </p>

<p>E.C.</p>

<p>Varsity soccer captain
Varsity soccer 3 years
JV basketball starter 2 years
School High court (can overrule teacher demerits for students)
School Counselor (1 of 3 in high school who mediate younger students disputes with one another)
NHS

<p>Wrote two common app essays on my experience with computers and starting online business (personal essay) and my extracurricular essay was about helping elementary students during a school chapel.</p>

<p>Counselor’s recommendation is outstanding, teachers recs are average.
Slightly above average supplemental essays probably. </p>

<p>Let me know my chances! Thanks!</p>

<p>You have a great chance! The online business thing sounds amazing and your essays sound unique. Your GPA is stellar 2, and a 2nd place rank is still great especially since you’ve taken all the rigorous courses available to you. I’d say in. Good luck :)</p>

<p>Good for you not to include your SATs. I think people base their chance threads way too much on them. Regardless, I think your Ecs are very good. I had very similar ECs with average sat scores (2220) and got deferred early, so I’m sure you have a chance as well</p>

<p>I’m curious as to how much my incredibly weak high school will hurt me.
Our school has been around for decades and never even sent a student to a TOP 50 school! It is embarrassing. I don’t know if I should hide this from my application or cite it… It’s kind of a wild card.</p>

<p>You don’t even have a place to “cite” that information. Your counselors are the ones who send all the information regarding your school’s difficulty to colleges, not you.</p>

<p>I’m also curious about your username…Is it a play off of nihilism?</p>
