<p>Hey everyone, I'm looking for my chances at the following schools:
Duke, Emory, Northwestern, U of Chicago, and Yale [a reach, of course]</p>
<p>My basic stats are as follows:
Just finished my junior year, took the following courses:
AP Econ [ A / A for both semesters]
AP Chem [ A / A ]
AP Calculus BC [ B / B ]
AP English [ A / A ]
AP US History [ A / A ]
Hon. Spanish IV [ A / A ]
Hon. Newspaper [ A / A ]</p>
<p>Class rank was 2 / 416 before second semester, is probably now #3 or #4 with the second B in calculus. </p>
<p>SAT: 800 reading, 700 math, 780 writing</p>
<p>ECs include:
President of Global Concerns [a fundraising club for world charities]
Captain of Academic Team
Host/Producer of teen radio talk show
Editor-in-Chief of school newspaper
Editor-in-Chief of school literary magazine
Member of Girl's Council [service club]
High school representative & Youth Advisory Board member for Big Brothers/Big Sisters program of my city & weekly volunteer
Have played the piano for 12 years, have won numerous awards
Selected to be in my city's youth symphony [declined because of academic schedule]
Have worked both summers after sophomore & junior year</p>
<p>Senior year, I will be taking AP English, AP Phsyics B, AP Computer Science A, AP Government & Politics, AP Spanish Lang, and Hon. newspaper.</p>
<p>I think I have a healthy chance at most of these schools, besides Yale. What do you guys think? Am I getting my hopes up too high?</p>
