<p>Atm I have a 3.86 GPA (4.66 weighted) and am top 4% of my class. I'm taking the highest level courses (honors, AP isn't offered for us until jr. year). Bowling team, FBLA, S.C., Key Club, few more.</p>
<p>What can I expect to get into with this? I'd love Cornell but I doubt it. How about UCLA/Berkley? JHU? Georgetown? Mini ivies? I need some guidance as to what colleges I should be 'level' with.</p>
<p>PS ot sure about SAT’s btw, hoping/expecting anywhere from 1800-2000</p>
<p>I’m no expert, but with your GPA you definitely have a shot at Cornell. Try to get your SAT closer to at least 2200 if you can.</p>
<p>Your GPA’s fine for Cornell–not spectacular, but. How’s your leadership? Volunteer work, jobs? You’ll need impressive ECs to get in.</p>
<p>SAT should be 2200+. I would feel more comfortable with a 2250; obviously the higher the better.</p>
<p>4.66 GPA 96% tile… You go to a competitive school, so your grades are fine for Cornell.</p>
<p>Really? I thought it was a bit on the lower end. What about ACT’s (if I choose those over the SAT’s)?
What extra currics should I concentrate on?</p>
<p>ACTs…34+, I think. I’m not really an expert on the ACT.</p>
<p>Concentrate on whatever you find interesting. Pick an activity that you love (or two or three) and start taking initiative. Organize things! Get involved! Go go go!</p>

<p>If that’s your realistic range/expectations for the SAT, then no, T20 schools are not too likely.</p>
<p>An ACT of 33 puts you in the top quartile at Cornell where the middle 50% SAT range is 29-33. Keep in mind, though, that’s across all schools at Cornell; for Engineering or Arts & Sciences the figures are going to be somewhat higher (not sure how much). Also keep in mind that only 29% of freshman enrolling at Cornell submit the ACT.</p>
