Chance a nervous senior for top schools

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm senior, and I couldn't be more nervous about college, as most people are. If you possibly could speculate on my chances it would be much appreciated. I applied to Princeton SCEA BSE program, U of M rolling to engineering, Vanderbilt(also for engineering), and I'm planning on applying RD to UPenn, Tufts, BC, Harvard, Northwestern, and maybe Rochester. Here are my stats.
ACT 35 (35 Math 34 English 34 Science 36 Reading)
SAT II's 770 Math 2 800 Chem
AP's
US 4
Chem 5
Lang 5
Taking micro/macro, physics, bio, and calc bc now as my ap's, A's in bio and calc bc first quarter, A+ in micro and physics.
I've taken all honors and APs except for one class basically in 4 years
GPA 4.06 weighted 3.98 unweighted should continue to rise if that matters. I think I got one b for one semester all of hs.
Class rank - schools doesn't rank but I would be top 3 or top 5 of 450
Top 5 hs in our state(if that matters, maybe #1 public this year)
Essays- should be 9/10's and 8/10's
Recommendations
Chemistry teacher- really likes me, I thrived in ap chem, and he had me for 2 years so it should be good.
Physics teacher- seems to like me more than most. He is incredibly smart and sees a lot of potential in me. Also the advisor for solar car for the first year, and the rec letter should be exceptional.
Math teacher- she liked me a lot. I basically aced the class, and always contributed. Not as good as above, but good nonetheless.</p>

<p>Counsellor- he really likes me. Should be pretty good considering he knows me and my brother, so should have a good perception of who I am, considering the likeness between us, and how we both tried to have an active relationship with him.</p>

<p>EC's
Sailing(top EC)
4 years varsity sailing
2013 State Championship HS Team (1st overall)
Captain
5 years competitive summer sailing
(8am-4pm Monday to Friday, so basically giving away my summer, June to August)
3rd place at Bemis Quarterfinal for my area. (Area E)</p>

<p>Solar Car Team
Member of the Inaugural Team in 2012-2013, and the first and only team in our state.
Now I am heading the design team for 2013-2014 and overseeing all operations as an officer. In 2012-2013 we raced the Winston-dell solar car challenge. </p>

<p>Soccer
2 years soccer for my school
8-9 years of travel soccer
Volunteer work at soccer camps for underprivileged and special needs </p>

<p>Those are the committed EC's so thanks for chancing. </p>

<p>My top three are probably Princeton, Vanderbilt and Northwestern, so those could take precedent, thanks again CC!!</p>

<p>Your high test scores will definitely help you or at least won’t keep you out of any of these schools. Your strong GPA will also be a strongsuit, although many of these institutions will have many applicants like this. The only big concern would be the lack of variety in EC’s, focusing mainly on sports. That being said, I think you would be able to get into Vanderbilt, Northwestern, BC, Rochester without a problem. As for your three ivies, you have the most solid chance at UPenn and Princeton with SCEA. Harvard would be your biggest reach</p>

<p>Thanks for your input. I sure hope I can get into at least one of my top three…</p>

<p>Princeton SCEA BSE program - its a reach for everyone but the fact that you applied ED should help significantly
U of M rolling to engineering - match
Vanderbilt(also for engineering) - high match
UPenn - lower reach
Tufts - high match or low reach
BC - match
Harvard - reach but you have a shot
Northwestern - lower reach
Rochester - high match

<p>Bump… Sorry</p>

<p>Princeton doesn’t have ED? I’m assuming SCEA?
Princeton - Reach (but you’re competitive, make sure those essays were good!)
NW - Low Reach/High Match
Vandy - Match/High Match</p>

<p>Overall you are very competitive, I wouldn’t be surprised if you got into all three :slight_smile: Just keep in mind these schools are very competitive! Good luck to you mate!</p>
