<p>I would be very surprised if you didn’t get into Northwestern and BC and at least one of those three ivies. You are a competitive applicant with no real weak points, but there are so many amazing applicants for ivies so its impossible to predict. Best of luck!
Chance me back? For some reason I can’t post the link, but if you look on my profile it is the newest thread. Thank you!</p>

<p>I think your standardized scores will be very helpful and you will likely get into most of these colleges. The only thing that could really hurt you is the fact that you only have two AP’s… Anyway best of luck! I think you will get in.

<p>Great application. It’ll boil down to your essay. If that’s fine, you should get accepted at at least 2 of these schools. Good luck! :)</p>

12

<p>Thanks everyone! I believe I chanced everyone who posted on mine back :D</p>

13

<p>By the way, if anyone could tell me the role that mid year report will play on my decision that would be great too. I will most likely getting A-'s and B+'s (Senioritis is hard to deal with) in all AP and one honors course. Is this alright to even top prestigious schools?</p>

<p>Your research is really impressive!</p>

<p>Low As and high Bs are still good – I’d only worry about low Bs and Cs.</p>

Dartmouth - Reach
Upenn - Low reach
Boston College - Match</p>
