ACT or SAT at HYPS and chances

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>So I'm going to apply to all of the Ivies and University of Michigan, and I already sent in my SAT and ACT scores, still have to take Subject tests</p>

<p>I got a 35 on the ACT (36 reading, 36 english, 36 writing composite, 36 science, and 33 math) and a 2180 on the SAT (780 reading, 690 math, 710 writing). Will the Ivies just look at the best score (ACT)? or both? </p>

<p>Stats for Chances:
School:<br>
-Weighted GPA 4.59
-Unweighted 4.0
-AP Bio, Euro, German, Calculus AB/BC, Chemistry, and Lit. (7) With projected fives
(Most challenging courseload)
-Rank: 2/440</p>

<p>EC's:
-8 years Science Olympiad (Captain for two)
-Over 40 regional medals, 40+ state medals, and 10 National medals, including two national first places
-Guest of Honor at the Society for Neuroscience Annual Convention (2009)
-Four years varsity tennis, first in the region (team didn't go to state)
-Founder and President of Mu Alpha Theta Chapter and Math Honor Society (two years)
-Started an annual race netting 7000 dollars for education funds and local parks
-300+ Hours of Community service
-1st chair clarinet for four years (Section leader), with multiple state medals
-Paid internship at Johns Hopkins Medical School, writing a thesis this summer on Synaptic plasticity in the basal ganglia and the physiology of memory movement
-Good recommendations</p>

<p>Just wondering the chances, I know Ivies are random, but I think I pretty much have all I can get... hope it's enough!</p>

<p>Make sure you apply to a financial safety. Did you get NMF?</p>

<p>if you don’t get into hypms, i’ll be highly surprised.</p>

<p>great ACTs, and awesome ECs.</p>

<p>i doubt your SATs will count against you</p>

<p>Oh boy…if there’s one thing I’ve learned from this boards, it’s that nothing is as predicatable as brownmann made it seem. This isn’t to downplay your stats; it’s to emphasize the hyper-selectivity of these schools, which can fill their class several times over with qualified applicants they’re forced to reject for lack of space.</p>

<p>They will see your SAT, but they claim they’ll take the highest score. So I wouldn’t worry too much, but be sure to do well on subject tests.</p>
