<p>it’s "a hopeful "</p>

<p>other than that… you’re good to go…</p>

<p>HAHA yep… I originally had the title of “chance an aspiring junior” and I forgot to conjugate the “a” after I changed it. Please don’t judge… :(</p>

<p>Hahaha, same thing as above for the title…it’s an eye-catcher though, so hey, nothing wrong with that! </p>

<p>Good SAT scores and outstanding SAT II scores- especially since you have four of them! Definitely good in this department (one might say you could have a bit higher SAT scores, but you’re in a solid range). Nothing left to say.</p>

<p>Same for the AP tests (just curious, are these all confirmed AP tests, or are some of them expected scores for your Junior exams…?) if they’re indeed all confirmed.</p>

<p>ECs aren’t particularly amazing, but I’m impressed by your work in band! It shows a devotion to one specific area, which Unis love to see! Additionally, your leadership positions are also good, but they could offer great potential. Lead your SCIOLY club into a state competition and do something unique/challenging with it - it looks GREAT on your resume! These are all just extra improvements though and aren’t necessary (but recommended) as you are doing a fine job with extracurriculars.</p>

<p>Highly doubt your “legacy standing” with your cousin will have much of an effect on your admission to Stanford, but who knows - maybe it will help…</p>

<p>CIT - I’ll personally maul a bald-eagle with my bare hands if you get in there, chances are super slim to none (no offense)
MIT, Stanford - High Reach
Columbia, Mellon - Mid Reach
Hopkins - Low Reach
Berks - High Match/Barely a Reach, leaning heavily towards high match
UCSD, UCLA - You’re in! </p>

<p>Hope I helped!
