<p>(Sorry about the original post being unfinished. Not sure how that came to be, surely, my inexperience to the functions of this website.)</p>

<p>Hello College Confidential Community,</p>

<p>This is my first post on this forum, and I hope that you all can share your thoughts on my chances into colleges that I’m expecting to apply to without much breath of confidence ( aka “reach schools”).</p>

<p>I am currently a senior with:
Grades: 3.7 unweighted GPA (Sophomore Year was all honors classes, Junior Year, all IB courses (Standard), and Senior (right now), all IB courses with 3 HL (The most my school would permit for a student to take).
My GPA in Freshman was all Bs, my sophomore year had all As except 1 B, and my junior year was a 4.0 GPA. </p>

<p>SAT scores:
SAT 1: 800 Math 750 Reading 780 Writing
SAT Subject Tests: Math IIC - 800, Chemistry - 790, Physics - 770, US History - 780 </p>

<p>Extracurricular:
Student Government 2 years ( 100 hrs +)
Ultimate Frisbee 2 years ( 200 hrs +)
Literary Magazine 1 year
Volunteered at a Recreational Center doing actions relating to the preservation of nature ( 50 hours )</p>

<p>Misc.
Asian Male in low-income background.
Two Teacher Recommendations which I know will be a boost. Though, the counselor one will probably be in the middle.
A personal essay imbued with exorbitant drafts and thoughtful, idiosyncratic prose. ( I find a fascination in writing. I am writing a novel – for the joy of the art – that is 17,000 words long so far. Though, I’m not sure if I can put that in my application.)</p>

<p>How are my chances at:
Macaulay Honors CUNY
NYU Stern
Columbia University in New York
Cornell University
University of Pennsylvania</p>

<p>I thank you for your time for reading and inputting your opinions, candidly! If there are more things you think I can add to give you all a more informed decision, please do tell!</p>
