If you link your post I will chance back 100%

Hey! So your academics seem to be good, though a 3.99 would be great. Your ECs, although pretty good, aren’t really distinguishing and do not indicate any interest for your intended major. If you can work around some work opportunities at a lab or something, your chances will definitely improve a lot. Moreover, focus on your SAT and Subject Tests. Your present scores are great so I’m assuming you can score well in the real test (SAT) too. But you need to understand that Ivy’s are real crapshoot so though you have a good shot at USC, UCLA, NYU, and Pomona, you really need to work hard on your application for CMU, Hopkins, Dartmouth and the likes. You still have quite a lot of time. Best of luck!

kinda soon to give a chance, but if you get a 1450-1500+, and other good test scores, better Ec’s related to bio, and awesome recommendations and even better essays, UCLA UCB NYU USC will be within reach. But JHU, Pomona, Dartmouth and CMU are really hard and I cant chance you because the competition even in two years could be pretty different.

USC, UCLA, NYU and Pomona seem like a pretty good shot.

The others, I doubt it.
