<p>Theres not really much you can do. You have an excellent GPA and SAT scores and pretty good ECs. Just work REALLY hard on your essays, I mean as soon as the common app comes out(seeing as all of your schools are common app) start preparing it. If you kill your essays and show them what type of person you truly are I believe you have a good shot at all of the schools you listed. GL!</p>

<p>Chance me?</p>

<p>Absolutely amazing. You have excelled in SAT scores, course grades/rigor, and extracurriculars. Nothing is certain, but I believe you have an excellent chance at all of these schools. Best of luck to you!</p>

<p>(Also, I have a chance thread and SAT dilemma thread open right now, both of which I would appreciate feedback on)</p>

<p>Wait, I thought you were a Sophomore?</p>

<p>Definitely a very strong application and resume. Like others have said you have a good chance at all of your schools listed, but keep in mind, no matter how strong of an applicant you are, all Ivies are a crapshoot. Nothing is automatic, so dedicate yourself to writing an excellent essay about something unrelated to school. Your grades will show your strength in academics, so use your essay to explore a side of yourself beyond the numbers and show colleges you truly are a well rounded person. </p>

<p>Hope I helped! Chance me back please! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1379107-little-help-ivies-more.html#post14747849[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1379107-little-help-ivies-more.html#post14747849&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>really good grades, strong EC, solid sats…i think you have a good chance at those schools. I’d definitely do ED at one that is your favorite though…could always help. But also ivys tend to be a “chance” thing so you never know but you are a very strong applicant and I think your chances are high.</p>

<p>So let me get this straight: </p>

<p>You have taken only French 1, but self studied a 5 on the Ap exam after skipping a year of class. </p>

<p>Kinda fishy.</p>
