<p>soooo?</p>
<p>Your GPA is doing fine, and you said you took a variety of AP courses, so that’s good. Your ECs look great as well.</p>
<p>I know the ACT a lot better than I do the SAT… so I found two conversion charts…</p>
<p><a href=“Page Not Found”>Unexpected error;
<p>[SAT-ACT</a> Conversion chart](<a href=“http://www.spartanburg6.k12.sc.us/dhs/Guidance%20website/SAT-ACT%20Conversion%20chart.html]SAT-ACT”>http://www.spartanburg6.k12.sc.us/dhs/Guidance%20website/SAT-ACT%20Conversion%20chart.html)</p>
<p>One of them says you got a score equivalent to a 22 and the other says about 25-26. The middle 50% of Carleton has ACT scores of 28-32. That would put you toward the low end of Carleton in terms of your SAT score. That can definitely hurt you; it will hurt you especially if you are in the state of MN and are caucasian. </p>
<p>Here’s a great site showing the average SAT and ACT scores of certain colleges:
[Average</a> SAT/ACT Scores](<a href=“http://www.ophs.opusd.k12.ca.us/average_sat_act_scores.htm]Average”>http://www.ophs.opusd.k12.ca.us/average_sat_act_scores.htm)</p>
<p>You want to be at or above the average for chances at admission. It does not report Carleton’s average ACT score, but it will show you a lot of other colleges. It’ll show you where your score can fit in.</p>
<p>hello, I’m a gap year international student and I’ve just graduated from high school, I’m planning to apply to Carleton this year. </p>
<p>My score:
- GPA
+senior year: 9.1/10.0 (in my country’s grading system)
+junior year: 8.6/10.0
+soph year: 8.8/10.0
- SAT I: 2040 (760 Math-620 CReading- 660 writing)
- SAT II: i’ll take Math I & II this November.</p>
<p>My activities are related to charity, work experience, environment, debating…</p>
<p>I have also accomplished some titles in my country’s English contests (regionally and nationally) </p>
<p>apart from what I’ll show them in my essays, based on all of these, do I stand any chance?</p>
