<p>Subjective:
Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis):
1) <strong><em>co-founded an international and domestic organization HOPE</em></strong>, which sends supplies (clothing, bedding, toiletries, etc) to orphans in haiti, costa rica, peru, and miami FL
2) Art! I'm in AP studio art and have had my paintings/drawings exhibited in 2 places (one of them in a university, another in a gallery) and have won a national award. I've been the vice president of the national art honor society for 2 years and gave a presentation on working with acrylic paint.
3) Helped organize a 5K for an organization which tries to send disabled kids to a summer camp. Worked with the founder (who's currently in Harvard) and drove him around to get sponsorships, helped set up the day of the race and made sure things were going smoothly.
4) Fit and Fun, working with kids with special needs teaching them to get active and have good social skills. Every sunday for 4 months at a time at a local community center. I did this cause i have an autistic cousin and I knew how hard it is to have those problems and I kinda wanted to do it for him i guess . I couldn't do it this year though cause SAT tutoring is at the same time, but i'm doing it again next year.
5) Chemistry tutor- tutored kids last year while in AP chem and tutoring others this year
6) Yearbook editor in chief, made the entire yearbook for 2 years cause all of the other members dropped out

<p>I think you should focus on your art and how it can relate to biochem or something along those line and it should improve your chances</p>

<p>You have great scores and e.c’s but you can never be sure of admission in an ivy unfortunately. But you are a great applicant. So the Ivies are mid reaches and all the others are mid to high matches except Miami, which is a safety for you.
Good luck!

<p>Depending on how large the HOPE organization is, that could be a very significant EC for you.</p>

<p>Harvard SCEA: Deferred then Waitlisted
Yale: Rejected
UPenn CAS: Accepted
WUSTL: Accepted
Tufts: Accepted
University of Fla: Accepted
Emory: Accepted
UNC-CH: Accepted
Miami: Accepted</p>

<p>I had a really difficult time predicting H/Y for you. They could go either way. Your recs and essays will be very important for those schools.</p>

<p>Anyway, good luck!</p>
