Anything to hope for?

<p>I'm hoping some of you could help me out. I'm a current junior about to enter senior year from one of my states most revered private jesuit high schools. Overall I took the most challenging courses offered to me but, unfortunately, limits the number of AP classes a person can take per year (so that we don't "hurt" ourselves :/ )Either way here are my accomplishments; both positive and negative criticism is welcome just be honest. I'm a white male who is overall well rounded and focused on both school and grades as well as other interests and activities. My college choices are NYU, Georgetown, MIT, Princeton, Fordham, Brown, Columbia, Holy Cross, and Wheaton (its a lot but i just want to be safe). My main interest is medicine and I hope to pursue this in college.</p>

<p>Notes
-The greek classes listed above are not contemporary greek classes but attic greek classes
-I have several friends in both NYU and Georgetown who said they would write me letters of recommendation and I'm not sure how helpful this is. They are very esteemed members of the campuses but my family does not have any type of legacy or note contributions so I'm not too familiar with how that works. (we're just average, working citizens who value education lol)</p>

<p>no way in hell that's a 3.98 UW (which would be 1 B tops, you have 4)</p>

<p>It's more like 3.6</p>

<p>I understand what you're saying. I recieved this number from the school administration which counts a B+ as a 3.5. I know some places count them as B's (3.0) and I know places that count them as 3.3. Either way I'm not looking for my profile to be picked apart. These numbers are the ones I heard. Sorry for the mix up. Sometimes private schools can fudge with the numbers to make their students look better;I really have no idea. Sorry again for the problem</p>

<p>B+ = 3.5 <---so not fair
Keep in mind that they might recalculate your GPA</p>

<p>It really doesn't matter. His GPA his at least 3.8 and he's ranked towards the top of his class. His SAT's are great however I worry for some of his SAT II's. But I think he'll take care of that. The OP has well rounded EC's but not really great one's. All the colleges that aren't MIT/Ivies/Georgetown I expect you to get accepted to in stride. Georgetown is a high match, Brown and Columbia low reaches, and MIT/Princeton are reaches. Please chance me at:

<p>The class rank will hurt unless the top schools really know and like your high school. What state and do you mean a parochial or private school?</p>

<p>National Merit Scholarship winner? When did you take the test? I thought you found that out your senior year... and you didn't qualifiy for the competition if you weren't graduating the year of the award...</p>

<p>Are you posting prospective stats?</p>
