CHANCE ME for Chicago/Stanford/washington university?

<p>Okay, i don't really want you guys to chance me but i just want you guys to help me improve by my senior year. I'm a junior and I know that my resume/application whatever sort of sucks (especially for UChicago and Stanford) but can you guys make some suggestions on where to improve? it'd help so much!! :)</p>

<p>SAT: (i've only taken it once) M: 740 W: 750, 11 essay R: 630 (ha...)
so i think i can get a 770-800 on math, a 12 on the essay, and i am sure i can bring my reading score up to 730+ (i'm thinking my final score will be 2200-2300 at most)</p>

<p>ACT: Reading: 28, math: 30, science: 31, writing: 33 (no essay)
I took this like two years ago so I think I can def bring it up to at least a 33 and at most 35 by senior year</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 unweighted
classes:
sophomore- ap stats, physics honors, chemistry honors, everything else honors
junior- ap chem, ap lang and comp, ap us history, finite for college credit, ap calculus AB, french 4
I'm also taking online AP government from Northwestern University
I hope to get all 5s on my AP Exams (got a 5 in stats last year)</p>

<p>extracurriculars-
violin lessons
piano lessons- enrolled in a university program for young pianists
science olympiad team
tennis for two years</p>

<p>community service-
summer intern at Children's science museum (60+ hours)
volunteer at the hospital
volunteer at a local fairtrade store
Global Youth Service Day leader</p>

<p>job: I work at my family restaurant</p>

<p>leadership roles:
Secretary for Asian Culture Club
Global Youth Service Day leader
panther leader (we help freshmen get oriented to the school)</p>

<p>other clubs:
diversity club
freshmen/sophomore/junior/senior advisory board (basically prom committee)</p>

<p>Special awards:
... none... other than straight As... I've won a handful of science olympiad things at the regional level but nothing more than that... and I got golds at music competitions freshmen year at the state level.. but i can't do them anymore because i'm not enrolled in music classes at my school.</p>

<p>others: i will be going on a university honors program next summer to france for 7 weeks (study abroad. we are only allowed to speak french for the duration of our trip)</p>

<p>i am aware that i REALLLYYYY need to improve. can you guys please tell me how i can?
my top choices are Uchicago, Stanford, and Washington university in st. louis. I'll probably also apply to cornell, umichigan, berkeley, and john hopkins.</p>

<p>do i have any chance at all? :(</p>

<p>Stanford- High Reach
UChicago- High Reach
WUSTL- Mid Reach</p>

<p>Cornell- High Reach
Hopkins- High Reach
Berkeley- Low-Mid Reach if you’re in CA, High-Reach if you aren’t.
UMich-High Match if you’re instate, Reach if you aren’t.</p>

<p>You can say you will raise your scores, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will happen. You have weak EC’s and don’t seem very involved in the community. Try taking more leadership positions in more legit clubs than, for example, Asian Culture Club…</p>

<p>Need to see AP Scores to get a better gauge. Early on for you though, don’t get discouraged.</p>

<p>These three schools are “reaches-for-anyone” schools.</p>
