Hey, I’m a junior in a really competitive public high school, wondering my chances at getting into any of the top schools (Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, UPenn, Duke, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth). I’m probably going to be applying early to UPenn or Columbia. Here are the stats:
GPA: 3.67 UW 4.62 W (Before junior year, it’ll probably go up after this year I think?)
ACT: Taking it this saturday but predicting 34-36 range

Subject Tests: 800 Math Level II, taking physics in october
Classes: Took 6 APs this year (4 actual classes, 2 were self studied) took BC Calculus last year (got a 5). Here’s the legit breakdown:
9th grade: Can’t do honors, except I did Honors Precalc

11th grade: Honors Spanish 4 (A-), Honors Orchestra (A), AP Physics C Mechanics (A), AP Lang(Unclear prob B+/A-), AP Statistics (A), APUSH (B+/A-). Also self studied AP Macroeconomics and AP Microeconomics
