Chance me for harvard and others

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

I’m currently a junior in highschool and am wanting to know if anyone can tell me what my chances are of getting into a school like harvard and others. I have roughly a 3.8 gpa, I got a 2040 on my first SAT attempt(I know its pretty bad) but I plan on retaking it, i got a 34 ACT and also plan on retaking it. Im also going to take 2 SATII subject tests Math II and US History/ latin (still deciding). In terms of extracurricular activities I have gotten the president community service award each year 300+ service hours in total, I rowed crew freshmen year and have played golf every year in highschool. The summer after my freshman year I took a community service trip to New orleans to help rebuild the wetlands and the summer after my sophomore year I worked at a dog groomer. I am a member of the National honor society. Also this year I’m the president of a club that I co-founded where we invest actual money in the stock market, we are funded by my highschool. I’m most likely going to be a national merit scholar and I took 1 ap class (World History) and 2 honor last year and 3 ap’s(Chem, Physics I, AP US) this year and plan on taking 6 AP classes next year. My father went to Dartmouth undegrad and UPENN wharton graduate. Can anyone tell me what my chances might be getting into a school like harvard or any other school of similar caliber? Thanks!

Harvard-High reach
Dartmouth- low reach maybe match
UPenn- low-mid reach
Yale- High reach
Princeton- High reach
Duke- Mid reach
Vanderbilt- match-low
UVA- match-low
UC Berkely- low reach
Wake Forest-Match depends on which program

Your SAT is low for the ivies and top colleges want like one area of expertise from applicants now and your ecs are kinda scattered. Still ivies are always a crap shoot so even with a perfect SAT and curing cancer you could still be rejected.

@bigFuzz I have tried to focus on business over the past years, with the stock club i founded and a stock trading competition i competed in last summer as well as an internship at a hedgefund this summer do you think that would be showing atleast interest if not expertise in the business field? Thx

That does help your chances a lot and if you get good scores on your math sat and sat II. With some stellar essays and recommendations you have a good shot. Try narrowing down to a school you really like and try early admission to boost your chances as ED applicants get higher rates of admission.
