Chance me for Ivy's and others

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Ok so I am really hoping for some responses seeing as how my last thread was basically me talking to myself…</p>

<p>White, Male, in upper NY area
My school only offers AP's for 11 + 12.
From 6-9th grades I missed a lot of school due to a medical condition which is cured after years of searching and hard work. But because of it my grades suffered. Although since of my sophomore year, my grades have improved significantly
Have Legacies at Princeton and Amherst...</p>

<p>BIO: 800
US History SAT II: 730 (retake?)
ACT: 34
E: 35
M: 33
R: 33
Sci: 35
Reading not available yet</p>

<p>Jr year
AP Bio - B+
AP US History A-
AP English Language A-
French 4 A+
PreCalc B+</p>

<p>And in 12th I am registered for
AP Psych
AP Comp Pol
AP English Lit
AP US Gov
Physics Honors
Calculus</p>

<p>The grades above are not exact and my GPA has been hit hard by Freshman year so my GPA is around a 3.5/3.6 but that is unweighted and without Jr. year grades which have not been added in yet.</p>

<p>EC's :
Volunteered for 3 years at a preschool camp
Summer Internship in a Recording Studio
Academic Challenge Team, Key Club, Film Club, Volunteer Ambulance Corps EMT, Volunteer at a local Hospital for 2 years now I volunteer over 8 hours a month
Varsity Golf Team (Jr year and Sr. year)
National French Honor Society
Helped start a charity and organized events for it... collecting toys for children with Fanconi Anemia
Internship in a Neuroscience lab this summer and throughout the year next year. 10 Hours a day 5 days a week</p>

<p>My essay will be amazing I am a very good writer and I feel I am going to write some stellar essays.</p>

<p>PLEASE Chance me for: Duke (ED) Tufts, Princeton (legacy), Northwestern, Binghamton, Cornell, Rice, Emory, Vanderbilt, Brown, Carleton, Pomona, Amherst (legacy) and I have some SUNY's but I figure my chances for those are pretty good.</p>

<p>Thanks again</p>

<p>lots of views ... no responses come on guys... i comment on all of your chance threads</p>

<p>The low GPA will keep you from Brown, Rice, Cornell, and possibly Duke/Emory.</p>

<p>I think you will be "matched" at Carleton+Pomona+Vanderbilt+Tufts</p>

<p>Legacy or not the GPA being low will hurt at both Amherst and Princeton. </p>

<p>Northwestern will be a little bit of a reach as well. </p>

<p>Probably IN at SUNY and Binghamton</p>

<p>note that Binghamton is a SUNY--if you live in NY state that could be good on the tuition side of things...</p>

<p>also about that US History SAT II, I'd say you're better off taking other tests in subjects you think you're better at, unless you think you could do really well in with history and want to put in the time to re-study. most schools have those tests as optional, or only look a limited number of them. just my opinion.</p>

<p>Hmm I figured that given my medical situation in 9th grade like missing 46 days of school will be good enough so that some of the "reaches" will take into account why my GPA is what it is...</p>
