<p>Okay so the Ivy Leagues for me are super reach schools, but I was hoping for UPenn at least. I am also really interested in Hopkins. So please could you guys chance me?</p>

<p>(I don't have my SAT scores yet so please just evaluate me based on what I do have.)</p>

<p>So here is what I have so far:</p>

<p>Will be first generation college student. Also first generation immigrant. (Came here at 8 y.o)</p>

<p>My cumulative GPA so far: 4.72 (of 5)</p>

<p>Freshman Year (year-end grades):
English 1 Honors - A
African & Asian Studies Honors - B+
Biology Honors - B+
Geometry Honors - A
Latin 2 Honors - A</p>

<p>Sophomore Year (year-end grades):
Algebra 2 Honors - B
AP U.S. Government and Politics - B+
Chemistry Honors - A
English 2 Honors - A
Latin 3 Honors - A

<p>Junior Year (1st & 2nd Quarter grade averages):
AP English Language and Composition - A
AP Physics Mechanics - A
AP U.S. History - A
IB Psychology - A

<p><em>I also took a summer Microbiology course at the community college nearby, and passed with an A, but I don't know how much that counts.</em></p>

<p>Volunteer at local hospital, 3 hours per week, for about a year now
Volunteer tutor for children grades 1-8, 2 hours per week, for about a year also
Mock Trial (attorney position) - 2 years now
Academic Decathlon - 2 years now
I've been doing ballroom dancing for 2 years, but I don't compete</p>

<p>I have taken my SATs and will be taking my AP tests this year, so I don't have those stats yet, so please try to evaluate me based on what I have. And also, I really feel like my extracurriculars are lacking. Pleaseletme know what you think and what are my chances at UPenn or Hopkins (I know it's a long shot). Thanks!</p>

<p>You have the course rigor down, that’s good. It looks like you’ve shown upward trend as well with your grades, another plus. Your GPA is a bit low, but by the end of junior year it’ll probably go up. Strictly going on grades, JHU would be a high match, and UPenn would be a low reach, I think. But that could all change (in either direction) depending on your SATs! Good luck! If you really like the schools, apply ED to one next year.

<p>It really all depends on the SAT. Your GPA is fine, so just get a 2250+ on the SAT, and a 750 on at least 2 subject tests and you’d be in line to get in. Good luck!</p>

<p>Being a 1st gen will help you a lot, and based on immigrant I’m guessing you’re an URM as well (unless you’re European/Asian). Like others have said, it’s not really possible to chance without an SAT, but you should be fine as long as you get in the 2100-2300 range. Your ECs are a little weak though. Your app isn’t flawless, but it’s still pretty solid. As long as your essays rock you should have a really good chance :)</p>

<p>Chance me back? (don’t judge my title lol, it’s a joke)
