what are my chances of being accepted to a good college?
September 30th, 2009 | by admin |I think that I have some pretty good stats. I am in the top ten percent of my class and I have been an avid member of Key Club. I have ove 100 hours of community service and was the chairman of my committee and on board of directors. I was also the ditor of the Peoples section in our yearbook and have participated in SADD for 2 years I have dancerd for 3 years. I am a straight A student with a 4.0 GPA and took the ACT for the first time and got a 24. I am also an alumni to the NYLF on defense intelligence and diplomacy and the JSA Symposium on Leadership and Politics and the JSA election decision 2006 conference. I also attened Yale Summer School.
I have also been inducted in to the NAtional Honor Society and am a delegate to the Buckeye Girl’s State I am also attending Geotgetown Summer School in the Summer. It says that I have been doing dance for 3 yeras but it was a typo. I have been doing dance for ten years. I have won a gold and silver medal at impact and footloose dance competitions. I am only a junior and have not taken any AP classes. Next year I am taking AP U.S. History and A.P. Literature. I am currently taking Honors english and advanced Math.
It depends on your definition of a "good college". If you are talking about getting into Harvard, the honest answer is that you would have a hard time getting in. However, there are lots of schools that would be very excited to get a student like you. One thing that colleges do take into consideration is the high school that you attend. I used to work in admissions and see students in the top 10 percent of their class with a C- average. However, since you’re in the top 10 percent with a 4.0, my guess is that you are at a good school. Another thing that is taken into consideration is the type of classes that you have taken. Did you get straight As in AP classes, or were they just the general classes. Also, have you taken four years of science, math, and english? For a lot of "good" schools, if you have not done that, you are much less likely to get accepted.

There are many good colleges that will accept you.
However, if "good" is code for "Ivy" you may not get into Harvard or Yale.
Ivy’s want students that have a focus or interest or special talent in a single defined area. You look like you are well rounded, but most admissions people look for a student who shows exceptional talent in one area and focuses his energy there.
