<p>I'm at incoming senior at Milpitas High and my choices of schools are: (not including safeties)
UCLA for actuarial studies
UCSB for actuarial studies
Wharton for actuarial studies
Dartmouth for econ/stats
U of Chicago for econ/stats
Berkeley for econ/stats
USC for econ/stats
NYU for actuarial science
Georgetown for Finance
Boston College for Econ or Finance
Columbia for Econ/Stats
These are just the main ones I'm looking at right now but my #1 choice is Wharton.</p>
<p>Grades:
4.4 Weighted GPA I will have a total of 8 weighted classes including senior year and I began to take business/sociology community college courses (I have quite a bit of chances to raise my gpa past 4.4 upcoming)
somewhere in the 3.9 unweighted</p>
<p>Standardized Tests:
I plan to send in my ACT scores but I did not take an official ACT yet.
I have taken the SAT and my score for colleges is 2090 but that was with limited studying along with finals and a lot of other stuff. Still have no intention of taking SAT again.
750 Bio subject test and have not taken math 2 subject test yet but I will.
I have taken an ACT practice test and I got a 34 so I expect a 34 or above</p>

<p>I may be forgetting other things because I do a lot outside of school but yeah I'm just trying to get as much work experience and get as involved as I can in the community as I can. I really hope my ec's can carry me in. I know it seems like I do a lot and I don't have dedication for a few things but I actually am only doing ASB, the clubs (which isn't really anything), and the management stuff as of right now.</p>
<p>It is to my understanding that it is even harder to get into ivy leagues when your school is super competitive and everyone applies and everyone has great stats. HOWEVER, the people at my school don't usually apply for ivy leagues (despite lots of people having really good stats) and the few people that applied got in. We do have an increasing number of people go to ivy leagues every year so I'm hoping this trend helps me. My high school is ranked top 4% in nation so I'm hoping that will help substantiate my grades since I didn't come an easy school (it was pretty competitive). </p>
<p>Please chance me, especially for Wharton and I HAVE LEGACY FOR WHARTON as my grandpa graduated with a degree in econ so I hope that helps my chances. I am also for sure applying to u of Chicago for early acceptance and I am also doing early decision for Wharton because I know that I want to end up there. </p>
<p>I was also wondering if anyone knows how competitive it is to get into actuarial science for college because if it is obscure that will help a lot. </p>
