Chance me for UPenn, UChicago, UVa and Pitt?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi, I want to get an idea as to how my stats stack up for the mentioned schools. I'm applying ED to Penn, EA to UChicago and UVa and rolling for Pitt.</p>

<p>About me: I'm a first generation Asian girl who attends a pretty prestigious school in PA. Many people at my school get into the Ivies. Also I have a parent who works at Penn as well.</p>

<p>Stats:
-4.77/5 weighted GPA
-My school doesn't do class rank but I should be top 15% at least
-As of now I got 2200 on SATs, but should get at least 2250 from Oct test</p>

<p>SAT 2s:
US Hist: 760 (took sophomore year)
Chem: 740 (jr yr)
Math 2: 780 (jr yr)</p>

<p>APs:
APUSH: 5 (took sophomore year)
Lang & Comp: 5
Chem: 4
Physics Mech: 3 (not the best score...)</p>

<p>Senior year I'm also taking BC Calc, AP Gov, AP Physics E/M, and AP Lit & Comp</p>

<p>Extracurriculars/Honors:
-Science Olympiad-I am one of two people in my school to have gone to nationals twice. I'm also an officer/ vice president of the club and have +14 top 4 medals at regional, state and national level
-Varsity Tennis
-Community service at hospital (+60 hrs)
-I did this peer leader thing at school to help freshmen
-NHS/ tutoring in math and science (NHS is a big deal at my school)
-Art, a lot of my work has been presented in artshows or sold
-I played violin since 3rd grade but stopped after 9th
-national merit</p>

<p>Teacher Recs: I asked my AP chem teacher and AP Lang teacher both of whom are department heads. My AP chem teacher is also a coach in Science Olympiad so he knows me both in and outside of school. I got a B+ in English but she knows and likes me at a personal level which is why I chose her.</p>

<p>I'm not sure how much nationality plays a role but I'm one of like two Asian girls in my grade. I plan on majoring in science, maybe chemistry. My ultimate plan would be to get into med school. </p>

<p>Any constructive criticism and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'll be happy to chance you back!</p>

<p>Everything looks good, in my opinion. I believe UVA is a match and Pitt a low match i don’t know about UPenn and Chicago those schools are extremely competitive and many great students apply every year but if you manage to stand out, through your essays for example,you have a very solid chance. Good luck.
Chance me back if you can:

<p>Thanks for answering! Does it not make much of a difference the fact that I have a parent who works at Penn? I know I’ll get the financial benefits but I’m not sure of application benefits. I also forgot to mention that I’ll be sending in an art portfolio to the schools. Also, generally about 40 people apply to Penn at my school and about 10-15 get in. Penn is my top choice so is there anything I can/should do to increase my chances?</p>
