Chance Me / Match Me
1

Hey guys! Just wanted to know what my chances are for:
UMich (RD)
U of C boulder (RD)
Pomona (RD)
Vanderbilt (RD)
Georgetown (RD)
Dartmouth (RD)
UVermont (RD)

Stats:
White female at a competitive high school in Arizona
UW GPA: 3.91/4.00
W GPA: 4.4/4.5(I think anyways)
Top 6% of class (40/800)
33 ACT (36 reading 35 english 28 math 31 science 10 writing)

Extracuricculars:
So my high school career was a bit odd, so hang with me (didn’t attend the same high school two years in a row)

Basically just a lot of different clubs, editor in lit magazine freshmen year, editor in poetry club sophomore year, in charge of publicity for french club freshmen year, student counsel rep for french club and DECA sophomore year. Most notably I’ve been involved with Rotary International for 3 years (10,11,12)

Honors:
15+ scholastic awards for writing
Honor roll (3.85 or higher) for all three high school years (Spent my junior year in Denmark as an exchange student which didn’t count towards class credits)
Other stuff i’m forgetting rn

Possible hook: Basically pulling the exchange student card and the fact that i’m now fluent in 4 languages (english, danish, swedish, norwegian, and can read french)

Oh yeah forgot to mention that intended major is something to do with international relations. Also applying to middlebury (RD)!

Do you have any matches/safeties besides Boulder and UVM? You have a chance everywhere, but your list is mostly reaches besides those two public universities. Are they affordable for you?

Wouldn’t DU (University of Denver) be a better prospect for IR than CU Boulder?

Dumbledore’s. Unless you mean plural?

I agree with all the above. You have good stats, but your ACT is not going to be super high for any reach schools. I think you need to add a couple of match schools. You have two safety schools, and all the rest are high reaches, unless you are instate for Michigan. Will you be happy with UVM or UC Boulder? You have Pomona, so why not add a few LACs in the match range? Consider Macalester, Kenyon, Whitman, Oberlin.

Yes I didn’t feel like adding my two instate safeties (ASU and U of A) because I’ve already been accepted full tuition at both of them!

I find your extracurriculars sort-of lacking
