<p>So I am currently looking to apply to:
Notre Dame
Georgetown
Yale
Cornell
Columbia
Clemson
UC Berekley
UCLA
Stanford
UChicago
Harvard</p>
<p>Do I have realistic chances of acceptance to these schools? What are some of the best ways to improve my chances as shown by my resume? My family can afford the whole cost of tuition and everything else. Are there free online classes i can take to enhance myself? I will have completed between 7-8 AP courses and maybe a few courses at our local PSU campus by the end of senior year.</p>
<p>it honestly all depends on how things play out. i’m assuming you’re a junior. take sat II that play to your strengths and your predicted major. study your butt off for sats. load on leadership and e.c.'s, maintain your gpa, which will get hard, believe me. if you do this, may of these schools will be within reach. the ivies are never predictable this early, but if you work hard, you may have a shot.</p>
<p>I think you have good chances at these schools. If you get the SAT score you’re expecting, that should help a lot. When you go to do your application, make sure that you highlight the leadership in your EC’s and you should be fine. Good luck!
chance me back?</p>
<p>For all these colleges it’s a little early to tell. Assuming the worst on the SAT and you only get a 2250 you still have a great chance with that score. If you reach your high and almost perfect score, there’d be no problem. Your EC’s and awards are excellent. So is your GPA. Try and get 8 or 9 AP’s, especially for the ivies. As for SAT II’s, it depends on what your desired major is. If it’s, say business, go for Math and a language. If it’s humanities, take lit and a history. If it’s a science major, take the desired science + one more (bio, physics, chem) and math! Good Luck on those!
(This is assuming a 2300, 800’s on math and the others, and your GPA doesn’t change)

<p>From your current stats, Norte Dame and Clemson are in your range. 2000 is below average for many of the schools on your list, but they’re crapshoots for all. Just work on essays and getting your scores up! </p>
<p>It’s hard to tell at this point without actual scores. But if you can get a 2200+, that will really help give you a boost. Try and get your SAT, SATIIs, and ACT out of the way early. It will make the process much less stressful. Your ECs are good so keep up the good work on that. I think your chances will come down to your essays. Start brainstorming early on and write the best essay possible. If you can polish all of the parts of your app, you will be very competitive. Best of luck!</p>
