Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm currently a middle class student of North African origin. I was going to apply to the following schools and wondered what my chances were:</p>

<p>NYU
JHU
Rice
Emory
Cornell
Duke
Stanford
Columbia
UT-Austin</p>

<p>GPA: 3.86 (unwieghted)
3.92 (weighted)</p>

<p>coursework has included all pre-ap classes possible along with AP Human Geography (3), WHAP (4), APUSH (5), and AP Lang (5).
senior coursework includes:
AP English Lit
AP Calculus BC
AP Statistics
AP Biology
Medical Microbiology/Pathophysiology
Pre-AP Spanish III
Video Game Tech</p>

<p>SAT: 2100 (750 Reading, 690 Math, 660 Writing)
ACT: waiting for scores
SAT II's: taking bio and math level 2 next month</p>

<p>EC's:
-JV/Varsity Soccer for 3 yrs
-HOSA (secretary) senior year
-UIL Academics Current Events for 2 yrs
-Science Fair freshman year (advanced to state)
-Science Olympiad senior year</p>

<p>i've been on the academic honor roll all of high school of course and was recognized at the regional science fair thus advancing to state, i have also won awards at district competition for UIL Current Events and i am an AP scholar with honor.</p>

<p>Volunteer Work (150-200 hrs)
-helped repaint house working with muslim-jewish interfaith organization
-led youth prayers during holy month of ramadan
-helped teachers of a religious part-time school with students
-worked at library with shelving books, etc.</p>

<p>I am also going to begin teaching at a Weekend Islamic school started by my parent. This is a paying job.</p>

<p>Also not mentioned is the fact that from the summer following my freshman year until now i have been in a program where students memorize the entire Quran (Koran). This is a major commitment that takes several years and I have had to attend classes throughout the year and all during the summer. It is especially tough considering I play soccer and have to work with my other EC's along with the AP workload.</p>

<p>I want to major in public health and become an epidemiologist. I have a great interest in diseases and am inspired by Richard Preston's work, who I plan to write an essay about.</p>

<p>My recs should be good as well</p>

<p>You have a good shot at all those colleges except Stanford and Columbia, a little shaky on those</p>

<p>ya i was thinking along that line. I am still a little concerned about how my ec’s dont really stand out and how i dont have that many leadership positions though.</p>

<p>Hmmm, you have a good shot at most of those, except for Stanford, Columbia, and maybe Rice. EC’s are the best ever, if you can get more, definitely do. They make you so much more competitive. (You have great ones already though!) also, chance me, perhaps? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1393753-chances-top-schools-especially-rice.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1393753-chances-top-schools-especially-rice.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
