Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>So I'm a rising senior from North Carolina, I'm looking at some pretty competitive colleges and I want to know if I'm being realistic or if this is all a pipe dream. So, without further adieu, my stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.98 (unweighted, last time I checked, it could be just slightly above 4 now that junior year is over)</p>

<p>Class Rank: N/A, school doesn't rank, but if I had to guess, I'd put myself in the top 10 to 15 in a class of 110</p>

<p>ACT Composite: 34
Breakdown
English: 33
Reading: 32
Math: 35
Science: 36</p>

<p>SAT II:
US History: 760
Math I: 690 (I'm probably going to retake)
Lit: 700 (also probably going to retake)</p>

<p>Rigor: I took 3 AP classes this year, Economics (Macro and Micro), APUSH and AP Lit (Composition). School has a pretty strict rule about taking more than three AP's junior year so I compensated by taking Honors Pre Calc and Honors Physics as well as a 4th year, non AP Spanish class</p>

<p>My Senior Year Schedule:
AP Lit
AP Euro
AP Gov
AP Spanish
AP Stats</p>

<p>Princeton is not going to be any easier to get into than Harvard and Yale: you know that right? You’ll get into UNC: so easy in state (I’m in state too). Also you were a page for the NC Senate most likely, not an intern. Ivies are gonna be tough b/c you don’t have any ECs that stand out necessarily. You’ve got a chance at Davidson, Georgetown and Tufts, but those will be low reaches/high matches, Georgetown being the hardest of the three. W&M is a match, and GW is a safety. UChicago and Duke will be tough, but you have a shot: low-mid reach. If you apply ED to Duke I’d bet you’d get in though.</p>

<p>The ivies probably aren’t gonna happen :frowning: your best bet is Duke ED</p>

<p>I think the guy above me is being a bit harsh.</p>

<p>Just bring up your SAT II scores and I think you have a good shot.</p>
