<p>What are my chances of getting accepted to Cornell, Creighton, Upenn, and Columbia, and Johns Hopkins for Chemistry, Pre-Medical, or Biology?
I am currently a high school junior from Castlewood, South Dakota.
GPA : 3.97 out of 4.00
ACT + writing : 27 (34 subscore for science) (I plan on taking the ACT again).
AP Courses : By graduation I plan to have taken 6 AP Courses (Bio, AB Calc, Eng/Lang, USGov/Poli, Chem, and Psych - Already got a 5 on Bio).
Varsity Sports : Hockey 9th-12th ; Football 10th and 12th ; Baseball 9th-12th
Fine Arts : Band 11th-12th ; Producer and student director of school plays 10th-12th ; Actor in OneAct Play 11th-12th ; Received placement ribbons for artwork at state fair.
EC / Clubs : Youth Group 7th-12th ; JETS 9th-12th (only sophomore to ever make Varsity team) ; Chess Club 9th-12th ; 100+ tutoring hours in high school ; Editor/Writer of school newspaper 10th-12th ; Yearbook editor 12th ; 50+ hours of job shadowing at hospital ; NSLC Alumni ; NHS member 10th-12th ; SkillsUSA member (local president).
I think cultural diversity will be in my favor. I come from a high school of only 70 kids. I've been the only one from Castlewood to take AP Bio, Calc, or Government, and the only sophomore that has taken an AP course.</p>
<p>Get your standardized test scores up, and you will have a higher chance. You have pretty good ECs as well. They show a lot of breath and depth.</p>
<p>Good chances with a higher ACT</p>
<p>Your ECs seem really good and pretty well rounded, but you would definitely need to improve your ACT score.</p>
