<p>hey guys, just wanted to get some chances!
i have a 3.8 UW gpa, 4.2 weighted (10 AP's through HS)
ACT: 35 Composite (35 E 35 M 36 R 32 S)
SAT II: taking Math 2, literature and chemistry (should i take world history too?) but i'm expecting to get about a 750 on all, except 800 on math.
NMF, NHS 2 years (probably president/vice president senior year)
2 years of tennis (captain 1 year)
1 year football
2 years basketball
1 year pole vault (freshman county champion)
3 years lacrosse (captain 1 year JV)
I volunteer at sunday school every weekend, and in the summers i paint murals and plant gardens in detroit</p>
<p>I'm white (jewish).</p>
<p>I am applying to:
University of Michigan (double legacy, both parents graduate)
University of Pennsylvania (double legacy, both parents undergrad) (maybe ED)
Northwestern ED
University of Chicago
Stanford
Brown
Duke
MSU (safety)
MIT</p>
<p>chance me?! thanks!</p>
<p>In it all of them except stanford, duke, and u of chicago. Those are like 65% in</p>
<p>One question: How do you know you are a National Merit Finalist if you’re still a junior?
Also, you make at lot of assumptions and predictions. I’m going to plan for the idea that you won’t get any of these presumed, futuristic positions. This is not because I don’t think that you’ll get them, but because this way you can see where you are as it stands.</p>
<p>University of Michigan - High safety (In-state + legacy makes it a no-brainer. You’ll get in)</p>
<p>University of Pennsylvania - Reach, despite legacies. I would probably apply to NW ED just because you don’t really have some of the national-level honors that are basically required.</p>
<p>Northwestern - High match (mid match if ED). Apply ED, not worth risking Penn.</p>
<p>University of Chicago - Low reach.
Stanford - High reach
Brown - Low reach
Duke - Low reach
MSU - Highest scholarship possible is quite likely.
MIT - High reach.</p>
<h2>If I come off as harsh, sorry for being that way. I think that I judge others too strictly, but hopefully this gives you some guidelines. </h2>
<p>CHANCE BACK: [Where</a> to apply/Chance for Columbia ED - College Confidential](<a href=“http://www.■■■■■■/ChanceMe]Where”>http://www.■■■■■■/ChanceMe)</p>
<p>^^i disagree. If penn is your #1 ED to penn. you have Michigan as a very nice looking safety, and to be honest as a university as a whole I would choose Michigan over NW (I like sports an having fun). People underestimate legacies</p>
<p>I failed to see that you like NW the best. My apologies. If you would rather go to NW than penn and you have no financial restraints (penn gives more FA) I would say go Ed to NW</p>
