<p>you are definitely in at uva and duke (95% sure) too.
i think you have a very excellent shot at hyp but they’re never a sure thing for anyone. i know a lot of kids with your exact stats who got into yale/harvard so I think if you project yourself well in your essays and great amazing recs you will get admission to an ivy. btw i somehow feel like the ‘excellent volunteer’ thing you got is a great thing, but I’m not sure if its necessary.<br>
good luck!</p>
<p>I don’t have crazy/amazing/insane stats like most of the people on CC lol </p>
<p>3.5 uw GPA (3.41 uw with just academic classes)
My rank is 85/725 kids. (around top 11-12%)</p>
<p>So, I was wondering can I still have somewhat of a shot at these schools?
NYU, BU, Sarah Lawrence, Barnard (early decision?), Emory, George Washington U, or other schools of that caliber in general?</p>
<p>There was a big dip in my grades during sophomore yr which my guidance counselor will explain (illness). I know they are all reaches because of my rank, and my SAT scores are decent (but not amazing):</p>
<p>1400 (just math + reading)/ together its a 2110
math - 670
critical reading - 730
writing - 710
i got a 31 on my ACTs but I don’t know if I’ll submit that</p>
<p>i have 250 volunteering hours
My school is a good, competitive public school.
I don’t know if it matters but I’m hispanic.</p>
<p>my activities are pretty good and show a focus/some leadership, but they aren’t insane like i didn’t cure cancer or win national awards .</p>
