Any chances at a top tier school?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>My dream has ALWAYS been to go to a top college but I slacked off a lot during the beginning of my high school career and didn't really challenge myself. I also didn't take any AP/Honor class Freshman or sophomore year and GPAs were:</p>

<p>9th grade- 3.0
10th grade- 3.5</p>

<p>Junior year, I moved to Bangladesh where i'm taking 5 A level subjects. GPA is 3.8</p>

<p>This summer i'm taking Physics, Statistics, College Algebra and (maybe) Spanish at my community college in the US. I'm also attending a Model UN camp at Yale University.</p>

<p>My SAT now is at 1850 but i'll be studying for it all this summer and taking it again in October aiming to get 2000+
I'm planning to give SAT II in Math I and Spanish</p>

<p>I'll be living in the US this year
My senior class schedule is as followed:</p>

<p>AP Economics
AP Environmental Science
H Precalc
H Anatomy & Physiology
H World Lit/Mythology
H Political Science
H Journalism II</p>

<p>Extra Curricular:</p>

<p>Cheerleading
Model UN
Newspaper
Dance
Youth Cheerleading Coach</p>

<p>I think there has been a tremendous change as I went from getting just a 3.0 GPA in average classes to taking all Honors/AP my senior year. My dream has always been to get accepted to UCLA although that may be a little off the chart now but if anyone can help, what are my chances at any top university??</p>

<p>Where are you going to be going to school senior year? Are you applying as an international student. What colleges are you eying? Someone well versed in the UCs can assess you for your chances for those schools, but it doesn’t look good to me for UCLA. My opinion is that you are not a leading candidate for the highly selective schools.</p>

<p>The UCs are a tough deal for anyone who is not a California resident. Apply to it early decision if it’s your dream, but don’t hold your breath. </p>

<p>What do you define as a “top” school?
A top state school? (Like Berkley, UCLA, UVA, UMich, UNC Chapel Hill, William and Mary?)
A USWN top 50/100?
A school people have heard of?</p>
