What are my chances of getting into an ivy league, (preferably Princeton or MIT):

GPA: unweight- 4.0, weighted- 6.0 (school does it weird)

Extracurriculars: Varsity tennis team, math team captain, science league officer, 2x AIME qualifier, FBLA National qualifier, DECA National qualifier, DECA 2x State qualifier, FBLA 3x State qualifier, TSA member for 4 years - vice president, Certamen (Latin) team, community service club, FTC Robotics 2 years - was a director second year and made it to state finals, FRC Robotics 2 years, class rank #1 award

AP Scores: Computer Science A, Calc AB, Calc BC, Chemistry, Physics1, Economics, Stat (5 for all),
APUSH, AP Lit (4 for both)

Also, if my chances aren’t high for getting into any ivy, what could I do more this year to improve my chances more, and also what are the best schools which I have a chance for?

-Thanks for the help, much appreciated!!!

You have an extremely competitive profile. Your stats and ECs are fantastic. You should consider how to build a narrative throughout your application. You want the ECs you include, the essays you write, and the letters of recommendation you get to share a similar theme. You want depth in your application, not breadth. Focus on your essays and pick a school to apply early to. You are very competitive and your application is probably better than most others who apply to these schools

GREAT CHANCES!

your chances look great for carnegie mellon, but once you start hitting the low teens to low single digit admission percentages, acceptances become crapshoots, especially for HYPM. regardless, your stats are incredible. i see you being admitted to multiple of these schools, i just don’t know which ones, lol.

You’re special. Make sure they see that. It’s about “packaging”. @doorrealthe has it exactly right. There will be many kids with similar stats. Your ECs and passion for them will help you a lot. Paint the picture that tells them, “We need this kid”.

Best of luck.

You have an extremely competitive profile. What is your ethnicity/nationality/income/gender? These are important to accurately measure one’s chance.

7

Male/Indian/~300,000 per year … lol worst possible

Would it help though that my uncle went to Upenn if I apply there?

@dwdjwuediuw I think that indirect legacies aren’t that important

I would apply to all levels of Ivies as reaches. You have a good chance of getting into Carnegie Mellon and similar level schools.

You obviously have the stats, but @wannagotoharvard is wrong: you do not have “great chances” b/c (as @kalon and @rickle1 noted) the vast majority of the thousands of applicants will also have the stats- and 90+% of them will be rejected, b/c there simply aren’t enough beds and desks for more. Moreover, US colleges say they don’t want a campus full of students who lock themselves into the library and don’t contribute to the community- so you need to tell your story, and you want it to be consistent with the story your GC & recommenders tell.
