<p>HI,
I'm a rising senior this year at my high school. I am ranked in the top 5 percent of a graduating class of over 350. My SAT isn't all that great for Ivy schools (760 CR, 690 math, 700 writing). However, I do a lot of extracurricular activities. For example I have done debate for three years and made states three times and nationals once. I am also the student body president and NHS president. Along with that, I also do a lot of volunteer activities with various organizations within my community in northern Virginia. I guess the question is do I have a shot at the Ivy schools or Johns Hopkins (my ED school).</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Oliver</p>
<p>You weren’t very specific, but your SAT score is usually not enough to qualify for the Ivys. Typically, you’ll need around 2300. However, I believe you can make it to JHU with or without ED, but if you want chances for Ivys, you should go into specifics. </p>
<p>JHU ED is a match!!
Chance me?</p>
<p>What’s your GPA? What extracurriculars were you involved in exactly? What positions did you hold? </p>
<p>@tola2015, my GPA is a 4.39 weighted and a 3.98 unweighted. I do the French Club (VP), Debate (Captain), NHS (President), Student Council (President), Orchestra (all regional)</p>
<p>@Dream0n I was looking at Yale or U. Penn as far as the Ivies go.
Thanks!</p>
<p>Your within in the middle 50th percentile for majority of those schools, albeit the lower end of the scale. You won’t know if you have a shot unless you apply. Have you completed the necessary subject tests requirements if the schools require them? Are you planning on retaking the SAT?</p>
<p>@tala2015 yes I have completed the subject tests and I plan on taking the SAT one more time in October</p>
<p>If you are from a URM group then you might have a chance. If not then the chances are pretty bleak for acceptances based upon your scores.</p>
