<p>I’d say yes. Depending on which test you send in (SAT or ACT), you should have a good chance. What kinds of grades do you get?</p>

<p>I’m unfamiliar with what you said “academic average.” Is that like what your average grade in your classes is?</p>

<p>It’s good that you do sports too (:
good ec’s
and (not to be racist) but if you’re familiar with affirmative action, that should help you too. AA is where colleges take students from minorities (like African Americans, Mexican, etc.) and make it easier for them to get into college.</p>

<p>you should be fine!!</p>

<p>chance me plz!</p>

<p>So basically, I’m trying to get into those top schools like Harvard, MIT, Yale, etc.</p>

<p>Am I doing enough?
I’m a Freshman right now.</p>

<p>4-year plan:</p>

<p>9th grade:

AP Environmental Science
AP US Government and Politics
A different school in my area offers a College level Calculus CD (called Calc 3) class, so I’ll be taking that
TA </p>

<p>The TA is because there aren’t any more AP classes that my school offers. They are talking about adding an AP Psychology, so if they do, then TA will be replaced with AP Psychology. Any more AP that they offer I will take… </p>

<p>Somewhere in 11th or 12th grade I will be taking the SAT in Hebrew (I’m a native speaker. I will probably study through a class or with my parents in order to get my skills up to par with what the exam requires).
I am going to do a summer SAT prep class, and I will be retaking it until I get 2350 + </p>

<p>I swim competitively and I’m on varsity as a freshman. During the year, I swim on a club, and then I swim for my high school during the season. Next year, I am going to stop swimming for a season and do water polo. I have a secured water polo varsity position because those who are on varsity swim are automatically on varsity water polo.</p>

<p>I am part of:</p>

<p>Key Club
Science Olympiad
Academic League
Quiz Bowl (AL and QB are jeopardy-like academic trivia games. QB is nation-wide, AL is just in my area)
Volunteer at synagogue
California Scholarship Foundation
in 11th grade I can start NHS, National Honors Society</p>

<p>During the summer, I will be either interning or traveling abroad to study in England - I haven’t decided yet. I plan on doing a program or interning / studying abroad throughout my summers. If I make it, then next year there is a high-school age Junior Olympics held in Israel which I will go to if I’m good enough.</p>

<p>If I maintain all A’s and actively participate in those clubs and secure officer positions in a few of them, and keep swimming, and get 4’s and mostly 5’s on my AP Exams, coupled with an awesome interview and essay and letter of recommendation, will I have a good chance for the Ivy League schools?</p>

<p>You can never be sure with the the top schools such as yale, mit and such but you have the high school profile of most students they admit. It looks like you are well on your way, just keep that determination and make sure you have killer essays and you will have a great shot!
Also my school doesnt have the 4.0 gpa system so my average is just that off all my grades. I am aware of AA but not really sure how that will play into getting admitted.</p>

<p>Sorry to say but I think that Stanford will be an extremely high reach, considered only if you raise your SAT to 2100+, which I would seriously recommend. Just prepare for it, it should be easy!</p>

<p>You didn’t write what major you want to pursue, but I think you should find some interesting ECA’s on the way. Yours are ok, but being just ok does not give you high admission chance, if you know what I mean.</p>

<p>Just my 2 cents</p>

<p>Please chance me back you can see my topic on the first page here. Thanks!</p>

<p>I think you need to add some diverse ECs, gain some leadsership, and raise your scores. Brown and Stanford seem to be high reaches, and you’re in good shape for most of the LACs on your list. But just being in good shape doesn’t guarantee anything-essays, recs, and your transcript matter dearly. Good luck :)</p>
