<p>I'm going to apply to:
HYPSM + all ivies except dartmouth
caltech
and some safeties</p>
<p>You are applying solely on prestige, I doubt that you will be accepted at the vast majority of these places. Adding your IQ to this thread is very unnecessary to the point of being elitist, I hope that you won’t include that on your app. Nice job on the SAT IIs. I really hope you will consider where you would fit in and not where you will impress people by going.</p>
<p>HYP - Probably not. While you do have excellent grades, that seems to be the only exceptional thing about your application. Most people applying to Harvard/Yale/Princeton have great grades. Furthermore, according to this: [Princeton</a> University | Admission Statistics](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/admission_statistics/]Princeton”>http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/admission_statistics/)</p>
<p>you will need to break 2300 to increase your chances from ~9% to ~22%. Simply excelling in classes is not enough for these schools. I know several kids at Harvard and Yale (some were also accepted to Princeton) and they all have something <em>special</em> about them. USNCO qualifier is nice but I’m not sure how much colleges really care about simply qualifying. </p>
<p>Stanford is probably out as well. I think that you have a reasonable shot at MIT and Caltech though. </p>
<p>I get the sense (from your username) that you are interested in working on Wall Street. In that case, I would recommend that you apply to Dartmouth as Big Green alum are highly represented on the street.</p>
<p>I would have to agree with the above. Your grades are decent, but you are in a small class, and your extracurricular are very weak for top schools. The number of APs you have is above average, but not really amazing, particularly if none are self-studied. You might want to aim a bit lower.</p>
<p>Additionally, you cannot indicate IQ on a college application - the SAT correlates very strongly with IQ and is used by colleges. Assuming your score was on a sd = 15 test, you should be able to fairly easily get a 2400 on the SAT.</p>
<p>Like me, you really don’t have a hook or an incredible achievement. So, as above posters have mentioned, you’re trying to outgun other applicants. That probably means that you’re not a lock at HYP but that you still have a shot. Perhaps a 2300+ would help. Your profile just seems quite short; I can’t really put my finger on any problem, though.</p>
<p>Please chance back! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1160541-chance-rising-senior-senior-member.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1160541-chance-rising-senior-senior-member.html</a></p>
<p>Not great. Nothing stands out. :/</p>
<p>Maybe getting a high SAT I will help, but as of right now, you seem like just another fairly smart high school kid with good grades.</p>
<p>we usually send like 2 or 3 kids to ivies. Also, of the APs 6 out of 11-13 are self studied (Chem, Calc BC, Physics B, econ, biology). These are usually the hard ones to self study too. Also, I have more ECs, if you want me to list them too.</p>
<p>But are any of your ECs unique? That’s the main thing, because nowadays everyone tries to do everything for college, and these top schools open up every application just to basically see the same person hundreds and thousands of times over.</p>
