Any chance at the Ivies (dream school = Columbia)?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi! I'm a junior and I'm just wondering whether I actually would have a decent chance in getting accepted into the top schools (hopefully Columbia, Cornell, or Princeton) when I'm a senior. Would I have a decent chance with these current stats:</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Asian
Sex: Female
Residence: California
School: Charter art school </p>

<p>Current weighted GPA (Sophomore year): 4.33
Unweighted GPA (Sophomore year): 4.0
As a junior, I'm taking 6 (all) weighted classes; my goal is to get A's in all of them both semesters (for a 5.0) which would boost up my GPA.</p>

<p>However, I'm only taking 4 APs. (To be honest, I feel like my academic stats don't even compare to other candidates) My schedule junior year is:</p>

<p>AP Language
Pre-Calculus
AP Physics
AP Environmental Science
AP U.S. History
Spanish III Honors</p>

<p>Last year as a sophomore, I took 2 APs (AP World History and AP Art History).
Next year, as a Senior, I'm going to take 5 APs (AP Calc AB, AP Bio, AP Lit, AP Gov, AP Spanish). </p>

<p>SAT: Taking it soon. Hoping to get at least a 2350.
SAT IIs: World History 720
AP Tests: World History 4</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:</p>

<p>Nationally ranked golf player (Top list of female golf players in the United States)
President of Golf Club
Founder and volunteer teacher of golf at a local club
Vice President of NFL Speech and Debate club
Treasurer in Junior State of America Club

<p>If there isn't a great chance, then how can I improve? Thank you sooo much!</p>

<p>Also, I WILL chance back if anyone would like me to!</p>

<p>There is no such thing as decent chances at the very top colleges even if you have 2350+ and 4.0.</p>

<p>Make sure to get very high scores on SAT or ACT and SAT II and maintain high GPA from most rigorous courses. Make yourself competitive. That is all you can do.</p>

<p>I think you’re on a good track. But then again, ivy leagues are hard for anyone to get into. I’d say you have a great chance at Cornell :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Remember, even if you don’t get into an ivy league, that’s okay. There’s plenty of other good schools.</p>

<p>If you’re a nationally ranked golf player, you can try to get recruited by talking to ivy coaches.</p>
