<p>gpa : 3.7 cumulative weighted after 1/2 of senior year
4 total APs and 6 Honors over HS
Extra-currics are ok, pretty mediocre, did all sorts of stuff, lots of work XP and volunteering, played piano for 8 years</p>

<p>SAT 2060</p>

<p>writing - 690
reading - 690
math - 680</p>

<p>SAT 2</p>

<p>Math 2 - 750
US History - 720
Physics - 630 :-(
Latin : 690</p>

<p>lotsa awards on national latin exams (2 gold medals, 1 silver)</p>

<p>what are my chances in these schools (i put what i think but i want your agreements/further comments)</p>

<p>school list:</p>

<p>(WHAT I THINK)</p>

<p>Reach</p>

<p>MIT
Harvard
Tufts
Cornell
Brown</p>

<p>Match</p>

<p>Northeastern
Boston College
Boston University</p>

<p>Safeties</p>

<p>Mass. College of Pharmacy
UMASS - Amhearst</p>

<p>I plan to do engineering (maybe Civil) or pharmacy if i went to MCP obviously (unlikely though)</p>

<p>do u agree with me on all of these?</p>

2

<p>ummmm where are u from?</p>

3

<p>boston latin school</p>

<p>HRMMMMM</p>

<p>i am from boston, MA</p>

<p>I would list Northeastern as a safety. Nice list of schools. I wouldn't be surprised if you got accepted to one the schools on your reach list.</p>

<p>Just a note: your list seems to be dominated by schools in bigger towns, but Cornell is kind of sticking out, because, while Ithaca is a great little town, it's surrounded by nothing. If you have a car, it's fine, but I suspect you will be missing Boston in no time. If you've considered this, then forget what I've said, but I just wanted to mention it.</p>

<p>Boston Latin School is amazing...I live on the north shore in MA and have heard about it. It tends to be overshadowed by Phillips though.</p>

<p>Anyways, I think the mention of the name should help you significantly. Good luck in your pursuits</p>

6

<p>i dont even know what phillips is...</p>

<p>anyways, anyone else think anything of the colleges on my list? especially which reaches u think i can get in etc.</p>

7

<p>I think you will get into Tufts.</p>

8

<p>You can cross MIT and Harvard off that list. No way jose. Your math is way tooo low for MIT and you have no MATH Awards or AMC competition.</p>

9

<p>asians compete with asians, xD good luck with those schools</p>

<p>dude why dont/didnt you retake SATI? you got a freaken 750 on sat II math 2c,</p>

10

<p>i did take the SAT's 2x - 1910 (horrid) and 2060 (ok), i know im "better" than that, but its too late now, i hate how we're valued in a frikkin four digit (hopefully lol) number</p>

<p>i think that gets me in a lot of trouble and i dislike the system a lot</p>

11

<p>Phillip's Academy in Andover, MA. One of the best if not the best private school in the nation</p>

12

<p>Yeah i'll agree with sanguine on that. One of the best in the nation.</p>
