<p>I have between an A/A- average(school doesn't do gpa) at a pretty prestigious private school
I took the Sat twice, in January(got a 2200, 800 cr, 680 m, 720 w) and then in March and I'm awaiting those scores(I'm expecting >2250, much better math score)
So far I've taken one Sat II, biology m, and I got an 800
for my second one im going to take the math 2 and im expecting >750

<p>I've seen a couple of the Ivy's(brown and penn) and while I like them, I want to be realistic. Same as with top liberal arts schools(williams, amherst, wesleyan). Are Ivy league/top liberal arts schools in my "league"?</p>
<p>It’s hard to say whether any person is a match for an Ivy League school, but you’ve got the looks for it. Weird that your school doesn’t calculate GPA. What’s your class load?</p>
<p>Your ECs are very good. Continue to do research, and try to raise your bar - get published in a magazine, do something cool with it. You’re focusing on a cogent area in your EC, which means a lot to colleges. </p>
<p>SATs are also very good, same for SAT IIs. You’re going to need those, and you’ve done quite well on them; good job!</p>
<p>My class has around 120 students…and I’m not sure how to get published or whatever
I’m also thinking of doing volunteer work at a hospital, would >120 hours be good?
I’ll try to chance you later…</p>
