Am I on the right track as a junior?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

For Cornell, Brown, Northwestern, UChicago, Johns Hopkins, Vassar, Williams, Reed, Dartmouth, NYU, Penn

Objective:
SAT I (breakdown): 2070 (750 CR, 710 W, 610M) will retake. Also planning on taking the ACT

Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): School doesn’t give that, I have a 94.88. Weighted is 98.32

Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): Second cohort group (for 97-100 average, 100+ is top). That puts me around top 20%, probably close to top 15%

IB (place score in parenthesis): I am taking a full IB diploma course load Junior Year Course Load: Regents Physics, IB Mathematics SL, IB HOTA HL, IB Theory of Knowledge, Science Research, IB Spanish HL, IB Chemistry HL, IB English HL

Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): Nothing major as of now, a bunch of Model UN delegate awards though.

Subjective: Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Model UN (Director-General), Debate Team (club no longer exists, but I was a member 9th and 10th), Political Activism Club (Treasurer), Science Olympiad, Independent Model UN Team (Co-head delegate, I created this with my friends because our school doesn’t let us attend many conferences and makes us jump through a lot of hoops to do anything).

Job/Work Experience: NA

Volunteer/Community service: Mentor in a social skills group for kids with autism spectrum disorders, I’ve been doing this for years.

Summer Activities: 2015 Hofstra University Summer Science Research Program (pretty selective, I got to work with a professor in their Psych department) and a summer internship this past summer in an oncology/hematology lab at Weill Cornell Medical College where I conducted a research project. I hope I can go back next summer. I did psychology research with an NYU professor, concerning facial emotion recognition. I might try to publish that in a high school science journal

Intended Major: Biological Sciences

State (if domestic applicant): NY

Country (if international applicant): US

School Type: Large public Ethnicity: White

Gender: M

Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): I wish
Thank you!

match / high match for Vassar, NYU, Reed
Remainder are reaches.

That would improve with a higher SAT/ACT score and a really strong showing in your grades this year.

The only thing that might be “dragging” you down is your SAT–2070 isn’t bad, of course, but it doesn’t show the full potential you could have.

Outstanding ECs!

Thanks guys. I’m going to retake the SAT, the math really dragged me down (I have a math/spatial relations related learning disorder) but I need to do better.
