Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I unfortunately don't have much diversity going for me as I am a white jew from New York going to a pretty highly ranked public school that offers the full IB diploma.
I am enrolled in the full diploma, so therefore I am taking 6 IB classes and 1 AP (Calc BC)
-my school doesn't do a gpa on the 4.0 scale, but rather out of 100
So my unweighted gpa for this year was around a 95, but with considerable weights for IBs and APs it goes up to around a 102
My class load is staying most rigorous as many IB classes are 2 years</p>

<p>I took the ACT once and got a 33 composite
31 english, 35 math, 33 reading, 34 science</p>

<p>For EC's, I am not part of a lot of school things, but have a few things that consume a majority of my time
-business club for 2 years
-national honor society (junior/senior)
-foreign language honor society (junior/senior--- spanish)
-varsity baseball for 3 years (captain this upcoming year)
-varsity basketball for 2 years
-both fall and summer additional baseball teams</p>

<p>-for 4 years I have been working with something called miracle league (helps disabled children play baseball) and something that I will most likely connect my essays with as it has left an impact on me
-I have had a job at a summer camp last summer, this summer and will again next summer
- I worked as a little league umpire for 2 springs</p>

<p>i won the school awards in a few classes, but having the #1 debater in the country in my class doesn't help
my school doesn't rank, but I am certain in the top 10 as a received a book award, which can only be awarded to a student in the top 10%</p>

<p>Currently I'm looking at Penn (legacy at penn also), Northwestern, Michigan, Duke, Vandy, Cornell, Tufts, Lehigh, USC, UVA, Richmond
top choices right now are penn, northwestern, mich, duke, vandy</p>

<p>Appreciate it if you guys could leave some input on what you think my chances are as of now</p>

<p>Your GPA is fine, your ACT is a little on the low side for some of the school’s you’re targeting. I’m sure that sports take a lot of time (I’ve seen it with some of my peers), but that does cut down the impressiveness of your ECs. An out of school EC that’s not service, as you’re fine on that front, may help. I’m not seeing a lot of leadership here either. </p>

<p>Penn: Reach
Northwestern: Reach
Mich: High Match
Duke: Low Reach
Vandy: High Match/Low Reach</p>

<p>Also I did not mention essays, but my essay will probably be about a birth defect that I had that could have limited my physical abilities, but something I have overcome to still win regional sports awards and recognition.
Teacher recs should be great as they are from my 2 favorite teachers and 2 classes i have won awards in
Guidance counselor rec should be standard and favorable.</p>
