<p>*******I'm a junior heading into senior year so I can still add things to my application but this is what I have so far. Pinpointing some of my weaknesses, my GPA is not very high considering the type of schools I wanna get into, my course rigor and amount of APs are not many but my school allows a student to only take a certain amount per year depending on your GPA, so I'm only allowed to take 3 in my senior year. My EC's are meager, nothing worthwhile though I have some decent volunteer service. I have no awards/honors, I don't even know any kids in my school who get awards/honors besides in sports. ORM and high-income also spells doom. All the classes I take in my school are considered honors since each class is weighted, but they're not listed as honors courses, at least not on the transcript. Now, those 3 SAT 2 scores are purely speculative besides the US History one. I have not taken Math I and Literature though I plan to, and I project myself getting scores in that range. I have also not received my AP scores yet but those are what I'm predicting.</p>
<p>The following is a list of schools I'm interested in, but most of which I probably won't even apply to. I just want to know what my level is and what schools are reaches, matches, etc. and how I fare in the grand scheme of things.</p>
<p>The Ivies (now every response I've seen on this board concerning Ivy chances is that they are reaches for anybody, so I just wanna know if I'm low-reach, high-reach, etc. and whether or not I have a shot. Some of these Ivies I won't even most likely apply to. I would really like to know about Cornell though since that is the one I am most interested in out of all the schools I plan on applying to/am interested in):
Cornell
Columbia
Princeton
Dartmouth
U Penn</p>
<p>The "elite" schools:
Amherst
U Chicago
Duke
Johns Hopkins
Northwestern
Georgetown</p>
<p>The other schools (Ones I think I have a good shot at):
UC Berkeley
UCLA
USC
Carnegie Mellon
Ann Arbor
NYU
Binghamton</p>
