Can I get into my college choices?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi everyone,
I am a junior and posted this in a few other forums but didn't get much feedback, I REALLY want your input!
so far i have narrowed my school choices down to these schools</p>

<p>University of Michigan, ann arbor
NYU
Cornell
Princeton
Harvard
Northwestern
University of Chicago</p>

<p>** I am visiting all of these colleges in February to narrow my list down more***</p>

<p>My GPA- 3.94 unweighted
My courses have always been honors- Also my AP’s include
- AP BIO
- APUSH
- AP ENGLISH
- Next year- AP CALC., AP ENGLISH, AP CHEM</p>

<p>I’m not sure how I rank in my class</p>

<p>Extra curricular- I don’t do too much, I only do the things I enjoy. I’m interested in studying medicine so a lot of my EC’s have to do with that, the others are for fun!</p>

<p>-Volunteer at U of M hospital once a week and summers as well. (I started the summer before junior year because there is an age requirement)
- I am working up at Domino’s headquarters once a week in the human resource department. (I believe that everyone, no matter what field, should have business experience)
- I’m on the tennis team since freshmen year
- I am in the health club, and the world language club (which I hope to be president of next year)
- NHS
- I am working in a research lab over the summer</p>

<p>Some volunteer/programs
- Special Olympics once-twice a year
- Summer programs- I did the WISE program at UofM
- I also did a two week internship at dominos last summer
- I’m a member of the John Hopkins CTY if that helps, although I have never done any program through them (my parents don’t like to send me away for programs so we keep it local)</p>

<p>Test scores.</p>

<ul>
<li> So far my ACT is a 28 but I’m retaking it in February </li>
<li> I'm taking the SAT this March </li>
<li> I've also scheduled the SAT II’s for math 1 and 2, and English </li>
<li> <strong><em>Once my AP tests are done should i take the SAT II's in AP BIO AND APUSH or is it unnecessary?</em></strong></li>
</ul>

<p>My background- I am half Italian, half Pakistani </p>

<p>What can I improve on, give me any ideas. Are these schools a long shot for me?</p>

<p>If anyone has any insights about the school, college apps, or college in general, please let me know! </p>

<p>THANK YOU!</p>
