<p>Hello, I am currently a junior at a Chicago private school. My goal is to be accepted to the
following colleges: Harvard, Northwestern, U of C, U of I, U of Illinois Urbana-Champain, Loyola, Notre Dame.</p>

<p>Background info: M, white, 6.04 GPA on 5 pt scale, Trilingual</p>

<p>Classes for next year: AP Calculus BC, English 4 AP, Physics C AP, Spanish Lit AP, Psychology AP, Biology AP</p>

<p>In addition to this, I took the ACT for my FIRST, not last, time and got a 32 composite with a 34 in math. (Looking to improve it, I DID NOT take any prep classes) Also I am awaiting the results of my PSAT test, I have also been a 2 time gold medal finalist in the National Spanish Exam and won an award for our school :D</p>

<p>Extracurricular: 3 Years of Soccer (1 Varsity) 2 years of tennis (1 varsity), 3 years of math team (state ranked), 2 years of academic team, student ambassador, NHS member w/ 18+ hours tutoring as of October,Spanish NHS (VP) President next year, I also volunteered over 50 hours last summer at my local hospital doing work with patients, also i finish 12 years of polish school in May.
<strong>I AM DOING ALL THESE ACTIVITES AGAIN NEXT YEAR AS WELL</strong></p>

<p>Goals: Go premed and become a medical doctor. I should mention I will continue to do all of the clubs I have mentioned next year and improve my ACT by 2 or 3 maybe. Where do I stand if I can keep this up? Please let me know what I can improve on too for next year before admissions</p>

There is no way to say you’ll be accepted or not until you get an acceptance or rejection.</p>

<p>Yeah. Honestly, you never know anything until it’s done. I’ve had some friends who I was positive were going to get into their dream college who got deferred. I will say this though, it’s REALLY tough at some schools this year, and at other schools it’s much easier. It’s likely to be the same next year.
Also you don’t need to get accepted to ALL of those schools. But, I’ll say this: stats regardless, you’re not going to get into any of these universities (except U of I, UUIC, Loyola and MAYBE Notre Dame) unless you’re a fit for the school.
Also a tip: You can do a surprisingly effective self-chance by just going to the school and asking yourself if you can see yourself there (and if you want a better gauge, if you LOOK like the students there), and if you can’t… then, well, you shouldn’t be applying there in the first place.</p>

<p>good scores. Study hard for the ACT NOW. You might think I’m kidding but I’m not. If you study an hour a day for the rest of the year until maybe October of next year, I’ll assure you you can get 34+. As for Harvard, your stats are okay, just raise that ACT. You GPA isn’t really special being at a 6.04, I have basically the same stats and my GPA is only a 4.76 on a 4.0 scale. NVM that, GOOD LUCK :D</p>
