<p>I am currently a Junior in high school. This is one of the few (perhaps only?) times I have posted on this website. I have, however, viewed countless posts on college admissions. Because I live in a generally socioeconomically disadvantaged region, I do not have access to a lot of information regarding colleges, so I am asking for my chances here. Basically, my dream is to be admitted into the Huntsman Program at UPenn, which is a four-year joint-degree study of International Studies and Business. I would also like to be chanced for these schools, other than Upenn:</p>
<p>Stanford
UC Berkeley (I'm a California resident)
UC Los Angeles
Columbia
Chicago
Claremont Colleges</p>
<p>Objective:
SAT I (taken only once, with no preparation): 2070 (W770, M670, R630)
(I am currently taking a class, and have consistently scored in the 2200-2250 range)
SAT II: World History (740) United States History (Have not taken, expect 780-800) Mathematics Level 2 (700, but will retake), Chinese (660--Subscores were 80,80,20 because the proctor messed up and would not let me take the last section. Hopefully this score will be supplanted by my AP Chinese Score)
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 4.0
Weighted GPA: UC Weighted (4.47), Academic Weighted (4.24)
Rank: Top 5
(My school does not usually send students into Ivy League colleges, but students do matriculate to UCB and UCLA)
AP (place score in parenthesis): World History (4), Will take in May: AP United States History (5?) AP English Language and Composition (5?) AP Calculus AB (5?) AP Biology (3-4) Chinese (self-study) (3-4) Comparative Government and Politics (self-study) (4-5)
