<p>You have good chances at all the schools you listed. Your SAT I is a little low perhaps for some schools like Harvard, Stanford, etc but your ACT would be sufficient. SAT II scores are great as well. ECs look good along with awards. It’s definitely proven that you have pursued your area of interest outside of school, which is awesome. It looks to me like you definitely have a passion for what you want to go into. Colleges will really like that, especially if you capitalize and show that in your essays. Keep up the good work and good luck!

<p>I would say that you are a very strong applicant for all those schools. Your ACT score is very good, your grades seem great, and you have several ECs with big awards.</p>

4

<p>I would say you have very good chances at all of those schools!!</p>

5

<p>Amazing stats man, combined with awestruck ECs. I think you’ll be able to make a name for yourself quite easily.</p>

6

<p>Your GPA is excellent although I’m not too familiar with the scale you’re using. Your SAT may be a bit low for schools like Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Stanford so those could be a reach, as they are for everyone. I think you have a good shot at all the rest. Your ECs are amazing so that’s good. Good luck to you!</p>

7

<p>my school uses a really stupid scale. like a 95 weighted in my school would be a 4.0 on a 4.0 scale (and some grades below it as well i think) because they weight classes weirdly. so most of the time colleges end up just taking our unweighted and applying their own weighting system (at least that’s what our school’s administration said is common)</p>

8

<p>Your ECs are fantastic. The SIEMENS is amazing and the project with your mentors sound very interesting. They are very focused and show your passion. Your ACT and SAT are on par with the top schools and your GPA is good. Do you have any volunteer work? That is important for the schools. Ofcourse, most of the schools are reaches for everyone, but you are in the running for getting into atleast half of the big schools. Good luck! Go research!</p>

9

<p>You have an excellent resume. I wouldn’t be surprised if you got accepted to all of your listed schools</p>

10

<p>did I not list my volunteer work? (I’m not reading through what I wrote. Looking back, I’m terrible at spacing things out haha).
I’ve never logged “official” hours, but in the past year I’ve volunteered 2 hours working with special needs kids every sunday and over 5 hours a week tutoring for free. And in the years before this past one since 8th grade I tutored roughly 1 hours a week for free. So I’d put the exact # of hours somewhere in the high 400s maybe low 500s. I never knew that people logged exact numbers.</p>

11

<p>Also looking back, I left a few things out. </p>

<p>PSAT score: 232
Principle Clarinet in Gemini Youth Orchestra 2010-2011
Principle Clarinet in Metropolitan Youth Orchestra 2009-2010</p>

12

<p>wow, you’re scores and extracurriculars are awesome. seems like you’ve got a great handle on things. I wouldn’t be surprised if you got into all your lower level schools plus at least one or two from the HYPSM group</p>

13

<p>I hate all of the acronyms people use. HYP, fine. But the others agitate me haha. Just sayin</p>

14

<p>great stats great chance</p>

15

<p>Your stats and ECs are amazing. :slight_smile: I’d say your chances are better than average for all of these schools. Good job!</p>

<p>Please chance me back!

<p>I think you’re a strong applicant – UChicago will obviously depend on the essays, and there are definitely schools that you’re nowhere near guaranteed to get into, but your app looks great and I’d say you’ll have a good chance at all of these.</p>
