<p>I am currently a senior at a highly competitive high school. I rank in the top 5th percentile (most likely to be valedictorian). I have taken 7 AP exams so far and scored 5's on all of them. Two of these exams were math-related, 1 was english-related, and 4 were science related. I have taken three years of physics, 2 years of chemistry, and 2 years of biology course. My GPA is basically a 4.0 on the 4.0 scale. I unfortunately currently have a B in my AP Biology class. Will this hurt my chances for getting into these colleges?</p>

<p>I'm interested in applying to the Ivy's and other top private universities (MIT, Stanford, etc). I would like to major in science or engineering. I understand that SAT scores are not the only factors for admission, but are my scores up to par for a prospective student at these colleges:</p>

<p>Superscore individual SAT section scores:</p>

<p>M: 740</p>

<p>CR: 780</p>

<p>WR: 790</p>

<p>SAT II Subject Test Scores:</p>

<p>Chemistry: 740</p>

<p>Physics: 700</p>

<p>Math IIC: 770</p>

<p>Literature: 670 (horrible score)</p>

<p>I am also applying to safety schools such as Rutgers, NJIT, etc.</p>

<p>I am currently acing all of my classes, including AP Lit and Organic Chemistry, but my AP Statistics and AP Biology grades are not that great (they're currently in the B range)</p>

<p>I also take part in a lot of extracurricular activities: avid chorus member, guitar player, freelance photographer, dancer, president of the school student board, etc.</p>

<p>I have also skipped a grade.</p>

<p>What are my chances for getting into MIT, Columbia, UPenn, Brown, Princeton, Johns Hopkins and/or NYU?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>P.S. Could my nationality affect my chances?
I am a female and Indian.</p>

<p>Your stats are pretty strong. You’ll be competitive anywhere. Your essays (and recs) will determine how successful you end up being. Nothing in your post makes you stand out from the crowd, but you’ve been more or less general, so that’s to be expected.</p>

<p>like philovitist said, you’re a great candidate for any top schools- but as you know they’re highly selective. kids with perfect GPAs and 2400 SAT scores can get rejected from those schools, so don’t be disappointed if you don’t get in. Please chance me:) <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1408517-please-chance-me-tufts-chicago-cornell-darmouth-northwestern-florida-3.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1408517-please-chance-me-tufts-chicago-cornell-darmouth-northwestern-florida-3.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Seems like you have the best chance of getting into UPenn</p>

<p>You’re a strong candidate for all of these schools! Hard to say whether you’ll get in or not, it’s pretty much a toss up from here. Also I don’t think you should submit that Lit score. Anyways good luck! I’m sure you’ll get into many of those schools <em>Knock on wood</em> don’t wanna jinx ya!

<p>Solid stats, so you’re more than academically qualified. It’ll come down to your subjective facotrs- recs, essays, and ECs. Good luck!</p>
