<p>I am a junior from NJ. (Female and white)
As of now, I have a highschool UW GPA of 3.6, and a weighted of 4.39, but these are expected to go up senior year to a 3.7 and 4.42 respectively.
My grades have gotten progressively better over the course of highschool and my GPA is brought down by poor grades in history (B-, B, B+), but I plan to pursue a career in the sciences or math
I have taken all honors classes and 2 aps (stat and english language & composition), and i am taking 5 more aps senior year (bio, chem, english literature and compostion, calc bc, spanish)
Projected SAT scores (based off psats)
Math: 740
Reading: 680
Writing: 730
Total: 2150</p>
<p>Extra Curriculars
Soccer: 3 years
Winter Track: Three Years
Spring Track: Four Years, Captain for one year
Clubs: Model UN (advisor for one year), Spanish Club, Chemistry Club
Volunteer Work: EMT 400+ hours, Food Pantry ~60 hours
Jobs: Soccer Referee (since 8th grade), Lifeguard (since 9th grade)</p>
<p>My essay will probably be about being an EMT since thats pretty much the only thing in my life that I enjoy.</p>
<p>What are my chances at these schools:
University of Virginia
University of North Carolina
Wake Forest
University of Georgia
Bucknell
Lehigh
Emory
The College of New Jersey (TCNJ)
Washington University in St. Louis
Rollins College
UCLA
University of California at Santa Barbera
Vanderbilt</p>
<p>Thank you and if you have any recommendations of schools, please let me know.
Leave a link and I'll chance you back, I promise.</p>
<p>Your stats are good and your porjected sats are fine as well. However, im going to give you a good piece of advice. Don’t try to take all those AP’s next year. AP Chem and Bio are easily two of the hardest AP’s out there and they require a great deal of work and studying. Along with that, AP Lit requires a lot of reading and AP Spanish is also very difficult for non antive speakers due to the nature of the class. Calc really shouldnt be a problem though. If you have the time to take those APS, go ahead but i would suggest to try to cut two of them. Colleges like seeing rigor in your schedule, but don’t kill yourself with and extremely difficult schedule.
Your Chances IMO:</p>
<p>University of Virginia-in
University of North Carolina-slight reach
Wake Forest-slight reach
University of Georgia-in
Bucknell-in
Lehigh-in
Emory-in to slight reach
The College of New Jersey (TCNJ)-in
Washington University in St. Louis-slight reach
Rollins College-in
UCLA-slight reach
University of California at Santa Barbera-in
Vanderbilt-slight reach to in</p>
<p>I think you have a great chance at all of the schools you are applying to. Try to get perfect on your subject tests and maybe take your SATs again(your SAT score is still good, though).</p>
<p>Do that, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you got accepted at all your schools. :)</p>

<p>You seem to be fine thus far. The only thing that could hold your application back is your GPA. If you are in the top 5% (10% if your school is very competitive), then it should be alright too, but aim to increase your GPA in your senior year. Also, if you can increase your history grade, it will show that you understand your weaknesses and are working on them, which is a positive trait.</p>
<p>Your SAT I is alright for your schools but you should aim to go higher, as that will consolidate your chances. I suggest you work hard on the SAT and give it a go in May (leave June for the Subject Tests). Your score, if you put in the appropriate effort, can jump from anywhere between 50 and 200 points. If you feel that you could do even better, you can work over the summer on the SAT again, then give it another go in October. I’d say, if you get above 2250/2300 on the SAT and get 770+ on your subject tests (I’d recommend that you take the History subject test as a 3rd subject test and get a very high score on that), then you should be set for almost all your schools.</p>
<p>I don’t know much about the Universities you posted but your stats look really good. You could probably benefit from some more EC’s, preferably in Leadership. And something in Maths or Science, science club/competitions etc. In my opinion you look at the moment, keep it up.</p>
<p>I think you have excellent chances for all your schools, except maybe UNC, due it being very sports-oriented.
However, your grades, and SAT’s are excellent, which is very appealing to University California Public schools, as they admit students with a grading scale. </p>
<p>Solid across the board, but UCLA/Vanderbilt/Chapel Hill are all notoriously tough to get into-- especially the latter given that they have a quota of in-staters that they must meet.</p>
<p>That math score is stellar, by the way. It’ll get you places.</p>
<p>I’ll say…
Wake Forest, WashU: Target
UCLA, Vandy: Low-to-mid reach
UNC: Mid-reach or above… good luck!</p>
