<p>Hi I'm a highschool junior hoping to get into any of these amazing schools.

<p>Both parents went to Penn for grad school
Aunt graduated from Hopkins</p>
<p>Community Service:
Volunteer as much as I can
Tutor multiple kids
Probably a total of 150+ hours of community service</p>
<p>Match at Michigan. The unweighted GPA is a 3.83, but you may get some more points for taking more AP’s than the average applicant</p>
<p>I have similar stats as you (32 ACT, better GPA / Rank, worse extracurriculars) and I was deferred ED to Penn (Wharton) and accepted at Michigan and Binghamton. I think you will get into UVA and Hamilton. Penn and Hopkins are reaches (but possibly attainable ones). Good luck!</p>
<p>UVA is a hard college to get into it seems that you aren’t ready for UVA or at least you’re not match for it (IMO). My friend got into UVA with this:
2080 SAT
4.0 unweighted GPA
4.7 weighted GPA
(i think around 6-8 AP classes)
National Honors Society for 2 years
Varsity lacrosse for 2 years
Cross Country for 4 years
(maybe some community hours)</p>
<p>Bump (want more opinions)</p>
<p>Michigan and UVA are either a match or high match. Penn and Hopkins are high matches or low reaches. Unfortunately, I am not at all familiar with Binghamton or Hamilton.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Anything I can do to increase my chances?</p>
<p>Get your GPA and test scores up, but I think you already know that. Make sure you work hard on the essays when application season rolls around and you’ll have a chance at all of them.</p>
