<p>DAMN… You seem super smart, getting those near perfect scores DEFINITELY qualifies you. What is obviously going to make or break you is probably both your essays, and letters of REC. Hopefully they are strong, because I think then you’d have a good chance at getting in— that’s all it is though a CHANCE. Good luck. </p>

<p>I’m not a qualified admissions officer, but here’s some random s*** that seems to be popular among hypothesizing juniors: Scores are wonderful, ECs are a little sparse.</p>

<p>@AdamDemamp you seem to be completely misinformed. Only “Getting those near perfect scores” does most definitely NOT qualify you for Ivy League schools. As matter of fact, college admission officers don’t care whether an applicant has a score of 2250 or a score of 2350. There are so many other variables that go into being an accepted candidate. Schools like Harvard actually reject many applicants with PERFECT 2400/36 scores. What they look for in an applicant is great grades (which the OP has), but also a deep passion. This is what the OP is missing. There is no focus, nothing that shows what he or she wants to do. All those schools are high reaches.<br>
My suggestion, start doing stuff that you like. If you have a passion for science, join the science club. Do what you have a passion for to the maximum. Good luck.</p>

<p>SAT scores- above average</p>

<p>GPA/class rank - above average</p>

<p>EC’s- weak- plz share more if you have them</p>

<p>I put them at reaches, mainly because of your EC’s. There are lots of smart people, but colleges want a whole package.</p>

<p>Take what I say with a grain of salt though, I am only 16 and a rising senior.</p>

<p>By the way, could you chance me back? I would really appreciate it! ^_^</p>

<p>you’re academically qualified
your ECs don’t really seem very focused though
i would put the ivies at reaches unless you can write good essays explaining how meaningful they are</p>
