Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi i am new to College confidential so this thread will probably not be as stylistic as the others.
Anyways i am currently a sophomore at fairly prestigious University of Chicago Laboratory high school and i was wondering on whether or not i am screwed for college because of my freshmen grades due to a unplanned transfer to this great high school.
Grades:</p>

<p>-Freshmen ( i transferred here at beginning of year)
English. B
Biology A-
P.E. A
Music A
Early World History B+
Spanish 2 B+
Geometry A
"Mixed Media".... B+
GPA 3.5</p>

<p>I know... the grades arent exactly perfect.
-Sophomore:</p>

<p>Chem M A+
Advanced Algebra/ trig A
English 2 A
Spanish 3 advanced A-
PE A+
Regular Comp Science A
AP European History A</p>

<p>GPA 3.95</p>

<p>EC
All State Science WYSE
Basketball ISL championship; received "trooper" award for hardwork and dedication
Math team regionals and State
Illinois music contest Piano trophy winner
over 200 hours of volunteer work at Ben Gordon research institution, 2nd author on a publish paper about lung cancer cells.
Track and field
hopefully asian student association treasurer
Possibly recomendation letters from Respectable people at U of Chicago and Northwestern.
one of the handful of "Peer Leaders" of my grade lol</p>

<p>I believe i will get 3.9 junior year because i will double up on both AP Biology, AP Physics B, adv Precalc, and Discrete Mathematics. I will hopefully end with a 3.82 GPA in HS. O btw my college conselor told me that my school does not rank our class and that our GPA is on a straight 4.0 scale (an A in any AP course is just a 4.0).</p>

<p>So i am just curious to hear some opinions about my chances of getting into a great Premed or 7 year program. I really want to get myself into Penn/Duke/Yale for premed. The northwestern or WUSTL 7 year programs are great because i dont want to study for the MCAT.</p>

<p>Also do college care about if you double up in a subject? because seeing two math and 2 science AP courses on paper is A LOT different than doing it.</p>

<p>o i forgot some facts about my school.
115 people in grade
13% asian
22% gets into ivy league colleges
30%ish gets into top 10 college (thank god for U of Chicago).
tuition: around $21000 a year.
i dont want to waste $10500 of my parents every year to screw it all up freshmen year.</p>

<p>No offense, but why are you even asking people to chance you? From what you’ve said, you’re almost guaranteed a pick of the lot in colleges. Unless you’re absolutely demolished in junior year, the road is rather clear.</p>

4

<p>u wont believe how many of my friends that went to top 12 colleges told me “2 B’s and you are done”.</p>

5

<p>Would you really want to go to a school that would want to end your academic career there if you get two B’s?</p>

6

<p>yes. id sell my soul to go to Harvard hands down.</p>

7

<p>that’s ridiculous to get 2 b’s and you’re done.</p>

<p>some schools dont weigh freshman grades as much
you are definitely on the right track - don’t worry about it</p>

8

<p>even if i graduate with a 3.82 ish, im positive i wont be in the top 10% even though my school tells us it doesnt rank. I’ve heard about a secret rank system that placed a Straight A indian kid who got like 3 A- so far at number 12. The grade system may be a little inflated.</p>
