Help Thinking of Match Schools?

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>Hi, I’m Noa. I have reach schools (JHU, WUSTL, and Yale), and safeties (McGill, CUNY Honors, maybe SUNY Bing), but I’m having trouble coming up with match schools.</p>

<p>It would be awesome if you could give me some ideas!</p>

<p>Here are my stats:</p>

<p>School: Special public school. We have two years of high school and then two years of college courses (we get a two year A.A. degree from Bard College, because my high school is affiliated with it). Because of this special program, no A.P. courses are offered.</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0/4.0 (we don’t have weighted/unweighted)</p>

<p>SAT1: 2350
Math: 750
Critical Reading: 800
Writing 800</p>

<p>SAT2s: 770 in Bio, taking Math II and Chem in October</p>

<p>Awards:

  • 4 silver regional awards and 1 gold national award in the Scholastic Writing Contest
  • Almost positive I’ll be a National Merit Finalist (237 PSAT)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars (I think this is my weak point):

  • 4 years: Jazz dance
  • 2 years: Swing dance
  • 1 year: Volunteer at City Harvest, an organization that provides food for NYC’s hungry
  • 9th grade, Staff Writer on school newspaper. 10th grade, Graphics Editor. 11th-12th Editor-in Chief of school newspaper.
  • 10th, half of 11th: Creative Writing Club
  • 11th Grade: Math club…not enough students so it petered out :frowning:
  • 11th grade: selected by school for 2-week exchange program in China with four other students! (AMAZING experience!)</p>

<p>Summers:

  1. After 9th grade, I went to Camp Rising Sun, an international scholarship leadership program. I was one of 60 girls chosen worldwide.</p>

<p>2) After 10th grade, I took an architecture class at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (you had to apply, and it was free)</p>

<p>3) This summer I have two internships. The first one is at the YM/YWHA (I’m not sure if people know what that is, if you dont, ask). I’m interning in camp administration, and its 5 hours a day.
The second internship is at a developing company called RevenueSpark. Its a sales outsourcing company for sustainable technology businesses. My jobs are correspondence coordination, help with web development (the text of the website), and some research and powerpoints.</p>

<p>Teacher recommendations will be very very positive, and I am working hard on my essays this summer so I think they will turn out well.</p>

<p>Now, the important part: What I want in a school.

  • I want a CITY school, or very close to a city. Size doesn’t matter much.
    I’m interested in studying a lot of things, especially Mathematics. I’d like a school that is strong in math and engineering.
  • Its also pretty important to me that the school offers Chinese.
  • Also, this isnt necessary, but I would love if the school has graduate schools of Business or Education where I could take classes (especially Education)!</p>

<p>Thank you so so much for taking the time to read this. I’m not asking for chances, I just would love some ideas for Match/Good Fit schools.</p>

<p>Thanks again,</p>

<p>Noa</p>
