Rising Junior

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>Note: I haven’t taken the SAT or ACT yet.
PSAT Score: 184 Sophomore Year
GPA: 4.0 u.w.
Junior and Senior years nearly all of my classes are Honors or AP (only non-H/AP are Latin II, Health and required arts class)</p>

<p>ECs:
Cross Country (JV team, freshman and sophomore year, probably Varisity junior year)
Track and Field (JV team, freshman and sophomore year)
Tour Guide (freshman year, schedule didn’t allow sophomore year)
Youth Group at local church (Does this really count? We do community service and such once or twice a month)</p>

<p>Awards:
Excellence in Foreign Language Award (Sophomore year)
High Honor Roll (92% average, all six trimesters)
National Laureate on Le Tour du Grand Concours (Level I freshman year, Level II sophomore year)
Gold Medal on National Latin Exam (Level I sophomore year; highest award)</p>

<p>Now for my colleges:
Dartmouth (I don’t know what my chances there are, I doubt I could get in)
Davidson (One of the teachers I want to write one of the recommendation letters went to school there, as well as one of my uncles)
Amherst College
Middlebury (a lot of seniors at my school get in here every year)
Cornell
Columbia (My French teacher went to school there and won all sorts of awards; she’s one of my definate choices for a letter of recommendation)
Duke
Central Missouri State University (Backup school; both parents went there and my great uncle was Dean of Arts and Sciences)</p>

<p>As far as I can tell, my biggest problem will be ECs. My PSAT score was a little low, but it should be higher this year. Also, I don’t know if I’m reaching too far with these schools.</p>

<p>You need to join some school clubs or start one</p>

<p>Great… but you might want to work more on the SATs cuz your PSATs don’t look that good no offense =P</p>

<p>but ur awards and ECs are good</p>

<p>Does NHS really matter? I didn’t get in this year because I lacked community service hours… But my school is really strict about who gets in and who doesn’t. Only a couple people get in every year.</p>

<p>don’t worry about NHS…join a service club, start a club of your own, join something. right now you really need more involvement. try a foreign language club?</p>
