<p>As a rising junior, your stats beat out many rising seniors. You definitely want to consider retaking the Biology Subject Test as well as to take Chemistry Subject test if you can given your planned major and route. Your course load seems fine by me, and your ECs are good, but try to emphasize the ECs that relate to your intended major and route more on your application (you already have them, so that’s great!)
JHU-low reach
Yale, Harvard, Brown, UChicago-reach/high reach
OSU-safety/low match
WashU-match/low reach
Case Western-low reach/reach</p>
<p>By the way, thanks for helping me think of asking the guy that I am working with in my internship for a recommendation. I am sure he as well as the rest of the IT department would love to write me one. (Now if I can get him to accept my money for all the times he paid for lunch…)</p>
<p>Considering that you are a rising junior with these stats, I would say:
Yale, Harvard - reach
Jhu, Brown, Uchicago - low reach
Rest - match</p>
<p>Improvements:
I think you could probably boost your chances a bit by rigoring up your schedule if that’s possible. Also, a few more state or national awards would help out.</p>
<p>As a junior, you still have time to improve your scores if you want to. I’ve heard different things about whether or not to take both ACT and SAT, but seeing as you have a good ACT score, you probably do not have to take SAT if you don’t want to. Since you have time, you should retake the biology subject test, as a 700 only makes you a higher scorer than 60-70% of testakers (according to collegeboard). </p>
<p>I know a lot of colleges like to see commitment in ECs, so just focus your ECs on your major and make sure you have a strong relationship with each of them.</p>
<p>I agree with what everyone has already posted about your chances. Take prezbucky’s advice and look into LACs! I have 2 friends going to Vassar and Weslyan for science majors, and the LACs’ small class sizes are definitely a plus because you’ll be able to have a closer relationship with your professors, which is good for future references and research opportunities. I’ve also heard great things about the pre-med routes at Emory and UPenn.</p>
<p>Overall, just keep up what you’re doing, and I believe you’ll be a strong applicant, Good luck! :)</p>
<p>You are a very competitive applicant for all of these schools! Most of these schools are reaches for everyone, but setting that aside, here’s what I think:
JHU - match
Yale, Harvard, Brown - very unpredictable so I really don’t know but I would be surprised if you didn’t get into at least one
Case Western, OSU - safeties
WashU, UChicago - matches</p>
<p>I agree with everyone else. You’re in great standing for JHU. Your ACT score is stellar. Just make sure to keep your grades up these next two years and stay near the top of your class. If you do that, I’d say you’re in the clear.</p>
<p>You have great ECs and you definitely have a great ACT score. ESPECIALLY as a JUNIOR. I do agree that you don’t have to take SAT I as the schools you mentioned is either/or so your ACT will be sufficient. Take more SAT II like Chem and Math I or Math II. Since you are pursuing a bio major, retaking the bio test is recommended. </p>
<p>JHU reach
Brown reach
Harvard high reach
Yale high reach
UChicago high reach</p>
<p>I am kind of new to chance and I am not familiar with the rest of the schools. Don’t worry too much as you still have time! </p>
<p>As the people who have posted above, I too would suggest you to take the SAT 2 again. As for ECs, I would suggest you focus on just a few of them and try to excel in them rather than having an endless list of ECs.
Do get that doctor to write a rec as it will help.
Overall, I think your chances are great at all the places but one cannot be sure of admission to those Ivies as they are a crapshoot for everyone.</p>
