My chances thread lol

<p>Do your worst.</p>

<p>High school senior, Class of '09
SAT I: 670CR / 580M (I know…) / 680W
SAT IIs: 760 US History / 750 Spanish without Listening
APs: 4 APUSH / 4 AP English Lit / Taking AP Enviro in the spring</p>

<p>GPA: School doesn’t calculate but I’d say 3.5-3.6
Rank: Again, school doesn’t calculate
Grades: Bs freshman year, Bs sophomore year (partly due to my parents’ divorce, was depressed for a good part of 2nd semester which affected my work), mostly As junior year (4 As 2 Bs), not sure yet for first quarter senior grades (Not too good, but I’ve been experiencing depression for a couple months which, again, has affected my work)</p>

<p>My school doesn’t really have honors courses (or at least, they aren’t listed as honors) and we only have a few classes that get designated as AP on our transcripts. For example, our US history course doesn’t get AP designation but it prepares you for the AP exam. We’re supposed to be one of the best private schools in the area, and I know we graduate a fair amount of people to prestigious schools despite our weird transcript stuff.</p>

<p>ECs
Participate in tech crew for various shows in addition to the tech theater program at school
Vice President of the school’s Computer Club
Worked in tech crew and performed roles for a friend’s amateur theater thing
Have about 120 hours of community service over two summers (before 11th and before 12th grade)
Have had a job since August of this year
Learning guitar (only for a few months, don’t know if it’s worth mentioning at all)</p>

<p>Location: Bethesda, MD
Race: Part white, part hispanic, immigrated from Argentina to the US. Spanish was my first language, but I think I speak English better
First-generation: Not sure. Neither of my parents attended in the US, and neither of them got degrees (although they both did attend some college). Would this classify as first generation?</p>

<p>Colleges, from what I think are least likely to most likely:
Georgia Tech (I’m sure it’s a long, long, long shot… but what the hell, I’ll take a shot)
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Virginia Tech
Santa Clara University
University of Maryland
UC Riverside
UC Merced</p>

<p>Cheers</p>
