Chance me for top schools?

Chance Me / Match Me!

Hey,

My name is Kenny and I’m thinking about my future, so any help and advice would be REALLY appreciated.
I’m applying to (yes, I’m getting a head start on things):

MIT
Yale
Harvard
Swarthmore
University of Pennsylvania
Emory

My SAT score is 1570 superscored, I have a 4.7 on a 5.0 (or 5.33 scale, I’m not sure how my school does it but in any case, I know I’m the valedictorian at this point). My ECs have a lot to do with Yale since I live pretty close: internship at a Yale lab, two classes at Yale (and a few other classes at another local university), and participation in a lot of Yale science events. I’m also on the math and debate teams, and I’m the president of my class. In addition, I co-founded a local journalism organization with a friend. My hobbies are guitar and a local Dungeons and Dragons club.

Also, I don’t know if it matters much (I perused the threads and it seems like it doesn’t), but I had cancer in sophomore year and so I missed out on a lot (but still got good grades in the classes I was allowed to do online).

Again, thanks so much for your help!!!

Few things I missed: I’m half-Mexican, half-American, male, and my parents are separated. My subject tests scores are:
790 in Math II and Chem
750 in Physics
I go to a STEM urban magnet school.
I was recognized at MathCon, a national mathematics competition.

You look really great but just know these schools are a reach for everyone who applies, focus on stem related EC’s and make sure your essays reflect your passion for STEM! Go ad luck to you

4

You seem competitive, but you probably won’t get in because these schools are extremely difficult to all applicants.

5

You have a really impressive resume. I think you get a good chance. But like what everyone else is talking about, these schools are extremely competitive for EVERYONE.

6

Your chances seem good, but make sure to remember that these are all reaches. Good essays would definitely give u a boost
