Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>What are my chances for WashU, Johns Hopkins, Tufts, Emory, Northestern and Cornell?</p>

<p>I know these schools are all reaches for me, but I was just wondering if I have a shot at any of them.
I'm currently a junior
GPA unweighted: 3.7
VERY competitive public HS (one of the best in the country), doesn't rank students</p>

<p>SAT: 760 CR, 670 M, 790 W. Planning to take again for 700+ on math in may.</p>

<p>SAT II'S: 750 biology-M freshman year, planning to take U.S. history in June</p>

<p>ECs: VP of 2 clubs (member freshman & sophomore years)</p>

<p>National Art Honors Society (3 years)</p>

<p>Track and Field (2 years)</p>

<p>I tutor homeless students bi-weekly (3 years)</p>

<p>Religious School (2-3 hours per week, 3 years)</p>

<p>VERY Active member of 2 other clubs (3 years)</p>

<p>Work experience: Religious school teacher assistant (1 year)</p>

<p>I know these are reaches, but what are my chances?</p>

<p>I think you would be a great canidate for all of these schools, just have a killer essay and you will be fine</p>

<p>I can’t really comment on the first three because I don’t know much about them, but I think you have a really really good shot at Emory. Northwestern and Cornell are reaches in general so just maintain your GPA and, like the guy above said, write an awesome essay.
Interviewing for them might not be a bad idea either. My friend had a 31 on his ACT, a 3.8 GPA, zero AP classes until Senior Year, and he supposedly bombed his SAT II’s, but he did an interview with Harvard and got waitlisted when he expected to be denied. Maybe not the most encouraging comparison by saying that he got waitlisted, but the point I’m trying to make is that showing your personality to the colleges in person can compensate in impact for areas of your resume that are lacking. Good luck!</p>

<p>Raise Math to >700 and you’ll get into at least three (i.e. you’ll be fine).</p>
