<p>Hey, everybody! I originally posted this on Georgetown's forum, but I'm curious what my chances at Harvard, Colombia University, Duke, and Georgetown's school of Foreign Service are. If I could get my weak points and what I need to work on, that would be great. </p>

<p>GRADES: Here are my AP classes and any class I didn’t get an A in.
Spanish I-B (Middle School)
Honors Precalc-C (Junior year, teacher quit, though it is no one's fault but mine)
AP English Literature and Composition-A
AP Government and Politics-A
AP United States History-A
AP Macroeconomics-B (Junior Year)
AP English Language and Composition-A (Senior Year)
AP French-A (Senior Year)
AP Physics-A Senior Year)
AP CalcAB-A(Senior Year)
AP Stat-A(Senior Year)
AP Euro-A(Senior Year)
APES-A(Senior Year-Online Class)</p>

<p>TESTING
SAT: 2310--struggled in math.
SAT II: Perfect score. Took United States History, French, Math II.
ACT: Scores still pending--I predict average or above.
APS: Fives on all four junior year AP courses listed--obviously don't have senior year scores. In addition to my junior year scores, I self-studied for World, Comparative Government, Microeconomics, Calc AB, and Human Geo. I earned fives on those as well.</p>

<p>ECS: Total of 450 volunteer hours--especially passionate for Stop Hunger Now (aims to fight global poverty), French Tutoring, Discovery Place volunteer, and tutoring ESL kids at the library.
Clubs: Debate, Key Club (Since Freshman Year), National Honor Society, National French Honor Society, Latin Club (President), French Club (Officer), Newspaper (Officer), National History Honor Society (Officer), and DECA (President, numerous leadership positions since freshman year).
EXTRA
Excellent essays and recs, in my opinion.
AWARDS:
Numerous academic awards for language, history, science, and math courses. These are only school wide awards.
DECA:
Attended International Competition since freshman year and received medal of excellence since then as well.
District and State trophy holder: Over five trophies, 2 first place, 1 third place, 2 second place.
International Social Media Correspondent
International Competition Trophy winner since sophomore year: second in sophomore year and first junior year.</p>

<p>Since middle school, I've attended a broadcasting media camp held in USC and received an award and scholarship.</p>

<p>FACTS:
Adopted at the age of 13, Turkish, and fluent in three languages. Foster family makes a little over 100,000 a year.</p>

</p>

<p>People like you who BS for no apparent reason and tries to show off their stats shouldn’t deserve to get into a top college.</p>

5

<p>Harvard- High Reach (HYP are high reaches for everyone, that is unless you’ve cured cancer)
Columbia- Mid Reach
Duke- Low Reach/ Very high match
Georgetown- High Match </p>

<p>You certainly have a chance
Apply and find out
to be honest, though, that precalc grade will hurt you. you should probably ask your guidance counselor to discuss it in his school report</p>

<p>They are all reaches with Harvard & Columbia super reaches. Your C in PreCalc will hurt your chances so spend lots of time on your essays. Apply to them all but also pick 3-4 matches and 2-3 safeties. </p>
