as for SAT scores and AP scores, i dont have any yet and so it might be hard to chance me. but assuming mainly 5's and atleast 2200 on the SAT</p>

<p>my counselor also told me to shoot for valedictorian, but i know that being a val. can be worthless when im applying to colleges of my choice.</p>

<p>Also, im a first generation asian,,my school is not SUPER good itself, but the district is vey competitive (the district with the top high school in the nation.. according to USNEWS) </p>

<p>For now, i know im asking my world history teacher and my counselor for recs. as they know me really well</p>

<p>and it may be a bit too early but i have my essay all laid out haha. its gonna be about how i had to live the life of a college student as a 7th grader when my parents were living 4 hours away due to business and i was living only with my 2 sisters. i compared my sisters to roommates and our small apartment to a dorm. </p>

<p>im looking into colleges like:
Harvard
Princeton
Yale
UPenn
JHU
UT
UVA
Georgetown
columbia
cornell</p>

<p>bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>bump agen.... cmon</p>

<p>bbbbbbb buuu bbbb bubuub bump</p>

<p>your not getting many responses b/c you're only a sophmore and you have no hard stats (SATs, etc.) You are on the right track and even posting a chance thread means that your determined. Keep you GPA up, take a rigorous schedule, do well, and participate in ECs that YOU are interested in (not that just look good)</p>

<p>I'm not going to chance you b/c it is too early and you don't have any stats except for freshman gpa but you are on the right track</p>

<p><em>wonders why powerbomb isn't getting responses</em> oh ya! it's a Saturday and everyone is out having fun :P</p>

<p>JHU
UT
UVA
Georgetown
columbia
cornell</p>

<p>those are your most definite "ins" with the path you're taking.</p>

<p>bump?????........</p>

<p>It's kind of hard to tell when you're only a sophmore. Keep getting good grades and stay involved. Post back next year or when you get your testing done. It wil be easier to tell then.
It looks like your on the right track though.</p>

<p>Look, some of the schools you are applying to don't even count freshman grades (for example, Princeton falls into this category).</p>

<p>If you keep getting 4.0s and doing the ECs, then obviously you have as good a chance as anyone else--but you'd be better off asking people what kinds of extracurriculars to take or courses to take than to ask about chances.</p>

<p>It's too early for chances, but not to early to plan the rest of your high school years.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
