<p>Your scores and activities are good. I suggest you get your GPA up and try to get 750+ on the subject tests of your choice. I think right now, you have a good shot at Wake, Umiami, and UNC. Emory and Vandy are also very reasonable but again, GPA need to be a bit higher. The triple legacy will help with Harvard but only if you get your GPA and subject test scores up. Good luck!</p>

3

<p>Thank you for your input!!</p>

4

<p>I would suggest that you apply EA to Umiami and UNC as well. Good luck!</p>

5

<p>Harvard Triple legacy … You’re fine</p>

7

<p>You really think so? Even though my GPA isn’t amazing?</p>

8

<p>I think your list is very reach heavy - you have great test scores but your GPA is very low for top 20 colleges.</p>

<p>Harvard - High Reach
Vanderbilt - Reach
Cornell - Reach
UNC (out of state) - Reach [known to be difficult for OOS]</p>

<h2>Columbia - Reach</h2>

<p>Emory - High Match
Wake Forest - Match
Miami - Safe Match</p>

<p>Id say you have a decent shot at Harvard considering your awesome extracurriculars and triple legacy status! I agree with timetodecide12 for the rest.</p>

10

<p>Okay, thank you all for your input!</p>

11

<p>If anyone has suggestions for other schools that I should look at, those suggestions would be greatly appreciated!</p>

12

<p>Bump please!!</p>

13

<p>srsly though, why in the world would a school hire a 16 year old (without a teaching diploma) to teach special-needs kids</p>

14

<p>It was a volunteer summer job.</p>

15

<p>YOU CAN CONTINUE DA HARVARD TRADITION!!!
Just be fabulous in your interviews and applications and you should be fine.
Good luck!!</p>

16

<p>I think you should also look at:</p>

<p>Stanford
UPenn (Wharton could get you an instant job on Wall Street)</p>

17

<p>Wow, thank you so much, Anjili! And yes, I love both Stanford and Wharton, but do you think I have any shot whatsoever at those schools?</p>

18

<p>Bump please!!</p>
