<p>If you would chance me for some of the following schools that would be great!
University of Chicago
Northwestern
Hopkins
MIT
Harvard
Princeton
Brown
Penn</p>

<p>Info:
Currently a Junior at an unranked public school.
SAT: 2220 (670 CR 770 M 780 W, retaking in June with goal of 720 CR 800 M 800 W)
ACT: Haven't Taken (may take in fall if SAT doesn't go up)
SAT Subject Tests: 800 Math II, 800 Physics, 790 Chemistry
APs:5 on Calc AB and Physics B, 4 on World History. Took Calc BC, Physics C, English Language, Statistics, and Chemistry this year and am fairly certain I got all fives.
GPA: around a 3.9 UW, 4.6 W on a 5 point scale. Slight upward trend after sophomore year.
Classes: Almost entirely APs or honors when available, took calc AB and physics B as a sophomore which is very rare at my school. The only exception is that I took standard US History this year rather than APUSH to take some stress off of my back this year. I am in a magnet program for STEM that gives college engineering (not applying to engineering school) credit and gives accelerated STEM classes.
School doesn't rank, but I am probably in the top few percent.
ECs: Captain of quizbowl team, we are state champions and are going to nationals this year. Math club, probably will be president next year, place highly in many local and national competitions. Math Honor Society VP, I am very involved with tutoring and helped organize a competition for local middle school students. Qualified for national USCO but didn't make the camp, came in 2nd in my state. Won my science fair category but didn't move on due to time conflict. Volunteered at a local computer camp run by my school that teaches kids to program over the summer for a few weeks. I am doing summer math classes at a university and plan on doing more college level math at a local university in the fall.
Current Senior Course load looks something like this:
AP Lit
AP Gov't
AP Microeconomics
Dual enrollment Engineering (counts for two classes)
Spanish 4 or a Science class (probably AP bio)
Math at local university (hopefully real analysis if they let me take it)
Biographical Info:
Race: White
Income: Upper Middle Class
Hooks: I had pretty bad depression my sophomore and early junior years which brought my grades down. I'm transgender (MtF), which is why I was so heavily depressed, if that counts for anything. My parents are also separated which made things harder for me, and my dad is poor and never went to college.
Essays and Recs: I can definitely write a killer essay, especially for a place like Chicago. I have really good recs set up, all my teachers love me. Probably will get a good one from my counselor too. I also know I can kill an interview.</p>

<p>Your grades, test scores, and course load are all pretty good. Your ECs are strong but not spectacular, and it’s hard for me to figure out what your interests are. It seems odd to me that you are devoting two classes next year to dual enrollment engineering and you are planning to apply to University of Chicago. Can you be a bit more specific about “place highly in many local and national [math] competitions”? Did you qualify for AIME? USAMO?</p>

<p>University of Chicago - Low reach
Northwestern - High match
Hopkins - High match
MIT - Reach
Harvard - Reach
Princeton - Reach
Brown - Low reach
Penn - Low reach</p>

<p>Make sure that you get your sat up some more. Colleges are more concerned with critical reading and math than they are with writing. Also, I suggest writing about your transgender experience in your common app essay. Right now you don’t look diverse. When you discuss your experience as a transgender individual you become more appealing to colleges.</p>

<p>Now for chancing
U Chicago- Above Average(I’m going there this fall!)
Northwestern- Very Likely
Hopkins- Very likely
MIT-Average
Harvard- Slightly Below Average
Princeton- slightly Below Average
Brown- Above Average
Penn- Above Average</p>

<p>I say you could get into Northwestern or Hopkins with no problem. U Chi, Brown, and Penn are likely but less certain. Harvard, Princeton, MIT is not likely. BUT, you never know what colleges are looking for in each year!! You could appeal more to a certain school in a specific year. Message me if you want to talk more about school!!</p>
