<p>I’d say you’re a very competitive applicant. Having Girl Scout high honors like that (I never got past the Bronze, personally) is something that will set you apart since most people don’t keep with Girl Scouts through high school (unlike Boy Scouts/Eagle Scouts). Your GPA and test scores are good but keep in mind that there will be other applicants with 4.0 GPAs and higher scores. You have a variety of ECs which is interesting, but it definitely helps that you have leadership positions in some of them. All in all a strong profile. Good luck to you!</p>

<p>Your GPA and ECs are phenomenal. But your standardized scores only puts you at a level around Tufs and NYU. Northwestern and Cornell are reaches, but for the rest of the Ivies (Including Stanford and Duke), I’d say your chances are somewhat unrealistic.</p>

<p>Your Ec’s and Gpa are pretty good however your standardized testing scores put you at a disadvantage.Tufts , NYU and Northwestern shouldn’t be too much of a problem and though the ivies will be reaches Your chance are definitely not UNREAISTIC.</p>

<p>Well your EC’s are really awesome and your summer experience makes you stand out … and I personally think that you scores are good enough too … So I’d say you have a good shot at pretty much all the universities you have applied to except maybe HYP… but you are definitely gonna get into NYU and TUFTS and maybe even Cornell and UPENN…</p>
