<p>I'm an incoming junior, but I'd like to know where I stand as of this year that I just completed as a (sophomore). I'm not going to embellish my resume, or add things that I "think" I'll get or anything like that, I'm just going to put down what I have, and maybe a few of you will tell me my chances. I'm not looking for any "feel good" luck stories, or anything like that. Just a bit of blunt, honest advice, because I already know I probably won't get into any top elite Ivy Schools.</p>
<p>I attended a mostly Asian/White suburban school in Plano, Texas for my first two high school years. Next year, I'll be attending the Texas Academy of Math and Science, a program for high school kids that are gifted in math and science. Essentially, we take the university's courses, and can rack up to an average of about 70 credit hours. At state schools in Texas which accept this credit, we can enter in as a junior, at most public out of state schools, we'd enter in as a sophomore.</p>
<p>So after that, here it goes:</p>
<p>Class Rank: 14/952 (Our district is really large, so large that we have a set of 9-10 high schools, and a set of 11-12 Senior High schools)</p>
<p>GPA: I'm not sure how to un-weight my GPA, but I know that in every single course I've taken, I've gotten an A (90) or above, regardless of that course's academic rigor (honors,AP, regulars) so if you guys could tell me what my GPA would be that would help.</p>
<p>SAT: 2220 (It was required for admission into TAMS)
CR: 790
Math: 700
Writing: 730 - Essay - 12</p>
<p>I haven't taken any SAT subject tests yet.</p>
<p>Plano restricts AP courses until 11th grade, when you're given free reign.
I have: AP HUMAN GEOGRAPHY - 5</p>
<p>EC (pretty weak actually)
Nationally Recognized
-Speech/Debate (Sophomore) - Ended up as an alternate to the National Forensic League tournament.
-Whiz Quiz/Quiz Bowl (6,7,8,9,10)
-FBLA (Future Buisiness Leaders of America) - we got far as state in Entrepreneurship.
-National Honor Society
Local:
Junior World Affairs Council
Invisible Children (Uganadan War Effort outreach group)</p>
<p>I've also participated extensively in Theatre/Drama productions at our city's local courtyard theatre and in school.</p>
<p>Community Service - Around 50 hours that were mostly racked up in Sophomore year since I was a bit lazy in Freshman year. The hours are pretty general in terms of the community, except that I got around 20 of them from working at an Autism/Asthma Clinic.</p>
<p>Well that's my resume, and I know it's weak and will take some work, but that's what I've got. Could you tell me how I'm doing, my chances, if I want to apply to the following colleges next year? Or if at least I'm on track? Be realistic.</p>
<p>Probably No:
UPenn (Not a chance, I know, but it's my dream school)
UC Berkley (Unlikely here due to OOS)
Caltech</p>

Unv. of Michigan
NYU
UChicago
UT Austin
GA Tech
Purdue
Urbana-Champaign
Carnegie-Mellon
Harvey Mudd</p>
<p>Safety:
