<p>i know these threads are annoying but here goes… im applying ED2 from very good public school in suburban new york, white female with well educated parents</p>

<p>ACT: 32
SAT: 730R 720M 800W =2250
math 1: 720. chem: 760. math 2: 800.</p>

<p>GPA 3.6 unweighted (but its an upward trend-from 3.3 freshman year to 3.9 junior year)-no class rank, but 3.6 is i think top 20%ish
8 APs total
classes this year: ap spanish language, ap english lit, ap environmental science, ap psychology, ap calc ab, advanced science research, contemporary issues
last year took ap chem (5), ap physics c: mech (4), and ap us history (4). also advanced math and honors spanish all through high school.</p>

<p>essay was pretty good i think, about spending a month camping in the arctic
recs should be very good to excellent i think, counselor rec should be very good as well
also a supplemental rec from a graduate who commented on my leadership skills
and a supplemental rec from a research scientist/professor at columbia university with whom i did neuroscience research (recently submitted to various science competitions)</p>

<p>i co-founded a club at my school that i am president of --we volunteer at a local day care center and help the kids with homework
11th and 12th grade took courses at the fashion institute of technology about the business of fashion
peer tutor in math</p>

<p>worked 35 hrs/wk during the last two summers as a secretary
currently work as a hostess at a restaurant a couple days a week (need to save money for textbooks…)</p>

<p>interview was very good, i thought</p>

<p>good-very good chances, I’d say.</p>

<p>Why does it matter what flying pig or anyone else says? They’re not in the admissions office. Take your best shot and deal with it. They’ll be lucky to have you on campus. If they’re not smart enough to see that, you’ll end up someplace else that’s probably better anyway.</p>

<p>ignore swatgrad… no idea why this poster is blatantly ■■■■■■■■ the Wes forums</p>

<p>your GPA is a little low but your great SATs make up for it I think. you’ve got a good a shot as any. I dont see anything that would be a dealbreaker. Wes cant admit everyone who’s qualified though, so it is a crapshoot. with good odds, I might add.</p>

<p>Haha although a ■■■■■ on another chance thread, Swatgrad did compliment you:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I never answer to chance threads, nor do I ever ask for my chances, but I’ll reply since I’m posting anyway. Your stats are pretty similar to mine, so I’m hoping you have a chance haha.</p>

<p>You had similar stats to mine (great SATs, my grades were slightly better but you had a job during the school year and I did not, I’m a girl, I took similar APs, etc.) and I just got in.</p>

<p>Wes puts an unusually high emphasis on recs, I think, so that should help you. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

7

<p>you have very similar stats and activities to me, except i took IB instead of AP and I am international.</p>

<p>but regardless, you have a good chance of getting in. but let me clarify, by good chance I mean above average (25%ish) or getting in. In no way are you or anyone else, for that matter, a lock.</p>
