Which colleges that I'm interested can I get into?

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>I am a high school senior interested in applying to a number of schools and was wondering what my chances of getting in are based upon my SATs, GPA, Class Rank, recs and extra-curriculars.</p>

<p>SAT 680 cr 670 m 690 w 2040 total
SAT II (pretty bad, not sure whether to submit) Math lvl II 570 World History 610</p>

<p>GPA: My boarding school does not have GPA or the traditional A B C grading system. However, my counselor estimated that my GPA is a 3.3 and my class rank is in the top 20 %.</p>

<p>Extra-curricularly, I participate in numerous activities not affiliated with a school. My activities are listed in order of their importance to me.</p>

<ul>
<li>Weichi (an ancient Asian board game similar to chess) master rank played for 4 years </li>
<li>Tennis (my small school doesn’t have a team, but my summer tennis coach estimated me at about 10th seed on a large hs team) 7 years</li>
<li>Avidly reading fantasy and science fiction books 8 years + existentialist books for 2 years</li>
<li>School store supervisor 1 year
-Listening to unusual music (classical and metal) 2 years
-playing acoustic guitar 2 years; I’m still terrible
-kayaking 4 years
-bouldering (climbing large boulders without equipment) 2.5 years
-Red Cross volunteering 4 hours (I quit because I did not think giving out sugary food to blood donors meant anything)</li>
</ul>

<p>Which of these matter the most?</p>

<p>College List</p>

<p>Reach:
Bates (applied ED,good interview,wrote good supplement)
Brandeis (yet to complete)</p>

<p>Middle:
Clarke ( yet to complete
Hobart and William Smith ( yet to complete)
Ursinus (supplement is class work, submitting 10 page paper)</p>

<p>Safety:
Saint Michael’s (interview, went badly)
Saint Anselm (interview, went well)</p>

<p>I hope the 3 recs I asked my favored teachers to write are good.</p>

<p>College essay: pretty good </p>

<p>Can I get in?</p>

<p>You should be in for all your safeties and matches and possibly into into bates. Goodluck can you chance me thnx</p>

<p>If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your ethnicity?
Oh and my sister goes to Bates, good luck :)</p>

<p>Bates and Brandeis seem like reaches given your approximate GPA. Clarke,
Hobart and William Smith, Ursinus, Saint Michael’s, and Saint Anselm are pretty much safeties. </p>

<p>Caucasian male</p>

6

<p>i would say a good 15-20% for bates and brandeis, all other schools 50%+</p>

7

<p>Your SAT’s, ECs and GPA are alright. Your class rank is very good. I would say you have a fair to good chance at Bates, and a very good chance at the middles.</p>

8

<p>Good list of schools-might also look at Holy Cross.</p>

9

<p>I agree with dashtiani. Did Bates’ ED come in?</p>

10

<p>Thanks for all the feedback so far. I didn’t type all the information correctly (I applied ED II).</p>

11

<p>By the way, it’s weiqi not weichi. You look okay for your schools.</p>

12

<p>shameless self-bump</p>

13

<p>I agree with what dash said. If you have to send SAT 2’s then I think you should deff retake them</p>

14

<p>Once again, bump</p>

15

<p>You should be in for all your safeties and matches and possibly into into bates. Goodluck can you chance me thnx</p>

16

<p>b4 i chance ye ima have2 say…</p>

<p>please don’t tell me ye put reading fantasy books for 8 years and listening to unusual music for 2 years as EC’s…?</p>

<p>playing weiqi is a good unique EC though, and with your scores, GPA and rank im pretty sure ye’d make it to most, if not all the colleges on yer list</p>

17

<p>Listening to classical music isn’t an E.C… Haha:) but bates is an awesome school. Good luck and if you get in, bring tons of warm clothes. It’s freezing.</p>

18

<p>u look alright for clarke & Hobart and William Smith, but u should check collegeboard.com just to see where u at</p>

19

<p>I’m guessing you should be able to get into your safeties and matches/mid-range schools. I’m not familiar with Bates, but you’ve got a shot at Brandeis.</p>

<p>You would definitely need better EC’s and some more volunteering would help. I am also applying to Hobart and William Smith- its my second choice after SU. My GPA is lower than yours and my test scores ( what did you get on the ACT’s if you took them?) and I still am pretty confident I can get accepted to HWS. I also kept in great contact with a coach there and the admissions staff.</p>
