<p>Grades</p>

<p>Rank 1/595, 4.87 GPA Weighted, 4.0 Cumulative Unweighted Got a 5 on Euro exam from soph year. Expecting a 5 on APUSH and a 4/5 on AP English Language. My other classes are all accelerated and the highest my school will offer students in the grades they are in.</p>

<p>SAT/ACT</p>

<p>SAT: 2200
Writing - 800
Math - 770
Reading - 630
Retaking in March to improve reading and my superscore to hopefully a 2270-2300 range</p>

<p>ACT: 33
English - 34
Math - 35
Reading - 34
Science - 30 (Go kill yourself science!)
Retaking during the state mandated test because I'm required to. If my science goes up, I should have no issue getting at least a 34, maybe a 35. </p>

<p>Will have very good recommendations, one from my APUSH teacher, who also taught me freshmen year, and my Physics teacher. My counselor knows me very well also, so I'm expecting a good recommendation from his as well.</p>

<p>I'll repeat the schools: Columbia, Penn, NYU, NU, uChicago, WUSTL</p>

<p>Great scores, decent ECs.
Columbia - high match
Penn - low reach
NYU - low match
NU - match
U Chicago - match (not sure about this one, I don’t really know U Chicago’s standards since my sister applied…it wasn’t that big back then but it sounds like it’s rising?)
WashU - match
Well that would be my guess…but then again, what do I know.</p>

<p>I dont see you getting in Penn or Columbia
NU, Chicago, WUSTL - high match/match</p>

<p>unless u write a really passionate essay, Penn and Columbia are definite reaches, maybe 10-20% chance.</p>
