What are my chances of getting into these colleges?


Asked by alissa
This is my academic ranks. I have a 95.49 gpa (my school doesn't go on the 1-4.0 gpa), i am ranked 14 of 118 students. my sat scores are critical reading 540, math 550, and writing 550. i took the act and got 22. i am honestly very ashamed of these scores, but they are what they are..(i am retaking them, but that doesnt mean they will dramatically go up.) Throughout high school, advanced courses I have taken are adv chemistry, adv physics, and AP English Language. This year, I am taking AP Biology and AP English Literature along with photography (and the rest of my courses.. economics, pre-calc, pe, etc) I also am in national honors, and am a treasurer of a recycling group in school and have volunteered at a hospital. My question here is, how do I stack up? I want to major in psychology, so what rank schools do I look at? Truthfully, I am looking at Tufts, Colby College, Lehigh, Lafayette,and Brown, is this practical? Those are my reach schools, however I like them a lot.

Tufts and Brown are def reach. Lehigh, Lafayette, and Colby are more within range. You really need to bring SATs up if your looking at Brown or Tufts. All their applicants have 95averages. You do have a challenging course load and your extracirriculars will help. You really need to write a spectacular personal essay. Focus on one thing, write about what makes you unique. Focusing on one experience really does help. Remember you're not writing your life story. But you are almost guaranteed to get into one of the 5 schools u mentioned. Good luck.
