I’m currently in my junior year at a very small Catholic school (120 students 9-12) in a rural area and I’m interested in these four schools. While my choices may change in the future (obviously), I just want to see if this is good for these four schools. Btw, I grew up in another country and have only lived in America for 4 years or so, but I’ve got dual citizenship
Academics:
-Gpa: 3.96 (UW), 4.15 (W)
-SAT: 2020 (Soph. year)
-ACT: No idea
-AP classes: (Psychology:5) (US History 4) Those were sophomore year, am currently taking AP chem, Calc bc, and Comparative gov. My school’s only got 4 AP courses btw.
-Extracurriculars: Model UN, science olympiad team that won regionals and state, captain of baseball team soph year, varsity track as frosh&soph. All regional in track both years. JV football frosh&soph year. Helped tutor athletes after school.
-Summer activities: AAU track, travel baseball for my national team in Asia, interned in tax department at a law firm and also assisted with translation, interned and performed research at the national institute of biotechnology.
Misc: Fluent in three languages, ranked 3/539 at my old school and 1/30ish at the school I’m currently in.
Volunteer/community service: Volunteered at a hospital about 5 hours a week, and I help the teachers with grading or with errands around school. This year I’ll probably do more though.
You have an excellent start but your will need to improve your SAT scores.You might want to try taking the ACT too. Try to get your scores ~2300 (old) or 1500(new) , or 34+ on the ACT. All of the schools your mention are reaches at your current stats. If you keep your strong GPA and improve the ACT/SAT, you’d be a low reach for USC, UMich and Duke, and a reach for Stanford.
If you are good enough to be on a national baseball team, you might be recruited as an athlete. That changes things considerably and your admission chances are 100% if recruited as long as you meet the admission and behavior (no drugs, drinking, or criminal/deviant episodes please) standards. You can only commit to one university, however (recruited athletes are usually offered scholarships). You may want to contact the various university’s athletic departments since you are unlikely to be well known if you play in another country. Keep in mind that that is a very difficult road since you have 2 full time jobs as an athlete and scholar, and you will be probably be on-campus all year long and taking summer classes so you can graduate.
