Chance me at Columbia, UPenn, Dartmouth, please?

<p>Female Asian whose major is undecided. Most likely a pure science or engineering type. </p>

<p>SAT superscored: 2300 (750 CR, 800 M, 750 W)
SAT Subjects: 770 Spanish; 730 Math I; 640 Chem (will retake in Oct.). Also will take Math II and Physics in Oct. along with Chem retake
GPA: 4.0 UW; around 4.3 W
No class ranking - large public school - ~5-7 per year to ivies/MIT/Stanford </p>

<p>4 APs and 2 honors junior year - all A's
5 APs senior year
(this is about as rigorous as it gets at my school) </p>

<p>Extracurriculars: Math Club (president/founder as junior/senior), Speech and Debate (president as senior), Green Team Environmental Club (co-pres as senior), Spanish Honor Society, MUN, Volunteer Club </p>

<p>Volunteering: Mainly at a local scientific museum, environmental/animal rights activism (planting trees at urban park, organizing letter campaigns, petitions, vegan lifestyle), some various events through Volunteer Club</p>

<p>Awards: National Spanish Exam stuff (1st in state soph year, 2nd in nation; 4th in state and nation jr year), Math and bio and spanish awards at school...that's about it. </p>

<p>Essays: one compelling about family adversity, another unique and laid-back/humorous. (Haha yes, I already wrote them...lots of time to edit over summer.) </p>

<p>Recs: one great, one good (I'm assuming here); counselor's should be nothing special, though. Perhaps getting an extra from a summer program professor (depends on how this summer goes!) </p>

<p>Hmm, what else? Definitely applying for finaid (but this shouldn't affect admissions because of need-blindness of all schools that I listed). </p>

<p>Strengths: Good grades, essays, well-roundedness/multiple interests. Special family situation on which I will elaborate in my personal essay. </p>

<p>Weaknesses: Not a good test-taker (esp. standardized ones), ECs seem all over the place despite the well-roundedness factor. Is it bad that I don't know what I want to do when I'm older? I have lots of interests... </p>

<p>Any honest additions to the weaknesses list, agreements, and chances would be appreciated!</p>

<p>You’re good enough. “Chancing” the Ivies, however, is a waste of time.</p>

<p>haha, you’re right. But there’s nothing I can do to quell my anxieties…except post on College Confidential :-)</p>
