Chance me please?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hi! I am currently a junior at a suburban all girls private school in PA and was wondering what chance I have of admission/scholarship money (the financial part is a huge concern for my family) at some of the schools I’m interested in, including: Boston University, Northeastern, UVA, University of Richmond, American, GW, Syracuse, and Pitt.
Current Stats:
4.19 GPA- i have gotten A’s in all of my classes, except for an a- first semester and a b+ second semester freshman year in honors algebra 2.
I have taken the highest level courses my school offers, except I stayed in honors history last year instead of taking ap European history because I had no interest in the course material
Right now, I am currently in AP United States history and AP Physics 1 along with all honors elsewhere
I have gotten all A’s and a couple A+'s this semester
Next year I plan on taking all honors with AP Bio, AP Calc AB, and AP Stat or AP Psych (I haven’t decided yet)
My current SAT Score is around 1310. I will begin to prep in the next few month and my goal score is somewhere near a 1450.
Extra Curriculars:
Cross country all 4 years
Swimming all 4 years (possible captain next year)- we have won states my freshman and sophomore year
NHS, Math honors society, and Latin honors society
Chorus (manager this year, president next year)
Select audition choir of 8 people- only juniors and seniors
Tri-M International Music honors society
Music Ministry (prepares for and sings at liturgies and other service opportunities)- all 4 years
Track (2 years, I am not doing it this year)
Volunteer position at a local hospital- 2 years
Mock trial- 3 years
Model UN- 4 years
Art Club- only offered freshman and sophomore year
Math league- 2 years
Latin Club- all 4 years
I had a job as a lifeguard for the past two years, but this year I am planning to work at Starbucks over the summer
I went on a service trip for 5 days to Camden, NJ in the beginning of this year

I plan on going pre-med. I’m not set on a major yet but leaning towards biology or neuroscience.

I’m sorry this is so long! If you could please help me with any information you know about schools and/or if these are realistic options for me it would be very much appreciated! Thank you so much (:

Your stats definitely show that your’e a very competitive applicant in the applicant pool. The school you’ve chosen seem to be well within your reach, so I’d say that they’re rather realistic schools to be applying to. The only concern is that you’ve indicated an interest in biology/neuroscience, but your extracurriculars & summer activities don’t seem to reflect your interest. Any particular reasons why? Other than that, you have a good shot at your indicated colleges.

Thank you so much for answering! I’ve only recently decided to go pre med, as I previously wanted to be a lawyer (pretty drastic change). So, I’ve kind of been dabbling my interests the past two years all over the place. I’m also not 100% sure on what I want to major in, I’ve just read that bio and neuroscience are very popular among pre med majors, and I have always enjoyed those topics in school. I’ve applied for and gotten a volunteer position at a hospital that I’ll start in the new year, but other than that, my school doesn’t offer many science-related extra curriculars. I am totally open to suggestions, so if you know anything Bio/science related that I could do to make my application stand out a little more among others, it would be so appreciated. Again, thank you so much!!
