<p>I'm currently a Junior in High School at a private school in Maryland
I have a 3.4 unweighted GPA and a 4.0 Weighted GPA
-Taken 7 AP's including...AP European History, AP Calculas, AP Literature I & 2, AP Biolgy and a few more.
SAT-1370/1600(Math and Critical Reading)(670 Reading, 700 Math)

-I have volunteered over 150 hours including 100 hours volunteering at a Hospital
-NHS Member for 1 year
-Play in a rock band with my friends(4 years) we practice every week and play a couple shows a year
-1 year working at safeway, and one summer at a mechanic's shop
-I am confident my teachers will write very good recomendations for me(8-9/10)
-So what are my chances for Cornell, NYU, Boston College, UVA, University of Maryland, Johns Hopkins, and Duke?
(P.S) We have a service from our school that graphs acceptance and rejections for every student who applied their for the past 5 years at our school, so contrary to what you may think I know from actual applicants that I am not very far from average for alot(not all) of these schools, I just want to know what you think my chances are for acceptance since I will have to choose where to apply soon. Thanks.</p>
<p>There are a lot of candidates who apply that will be similar to you–use your essays to really stand out if you can. Also keep in mind that college admissions is becoming increasingly difficult each year so someone who got in with certain stats even just five years ago may not get in now. But if you can raise your GPA and SATs some before applying to colleges, you definitely should. How many times have you taken the SAT? Maybe you should take the June or October one to try to boost your score.</p>
<p>On a side note, I totally didn’t know Safeways were on the East Coast too, I thought it was a West Coast-only store</p>
<p>You seriously thought safeway was only on the West Coast? LOL Anyway, dutchmonkey789 your record looks like mine, but it would help if you could raise your SAT score.</p>
