<p>I am a white male attending a College Prep School outside of Chicago.
All Stats and ECs through my Junior year</p>
<p>SAT Dec 2009: M 710 CR 650 W 710
SAT Jan 2010: M 770 CR 750 W 640
SUPERSCORE 2230
Almost all of my schools, with the exception of Illinois and UCs, either disregard the writing part, superscore, or both. So I'm not too worried about the Jan poor writing score</p>
<p>Freshman Year 3.0 :(
Sophomore 3.75UW 3.9 W
Junior 3.8 UW 4.23 W
Total 3.5 UW 3.7 W
Class Rank 38/115
My freshman grades really killed me. My class rank sucks because of those and because its a competitive private school with entrance exam. I know that Stanford, Princeton, Hopkins, Carnegie Mellon, and UCs disregard freshman grades.</p>

<p>Just glancing at that list, I think it’s pretty clear that the SATs don’t need to much work. With some of the big schools, the 9th grade scores might hurt you. But overall, your EC’s are solid and scores are great. I wouldn’t put you out of the running for any of those on the list. It may be a reach for the top 7 or so. </p>
<p>And just from a Floridian’s perspective I can say that you should definitely be able to get into UF, even if you are out-of-state. Not sure how seriously you were considering that one, though.</p>
<p>Kind of like John234 said, the SATs don’t need very much work, but I would think about taking it once more. With your scores you’re at least in the middle 50% on all of these schools from what I know. ECs are great.
It shouldn’t be hard to get into most of these schools for you. The schools that disregard freshman grades may be good.
Some of these schools I don’t know very much about, but I think you’d be in at most of the schools
U Chicago is one of the reaches I see…probably either low reach or a reach</p>
<p>I tried my best…haven’t really done this before</p>
<p>dont worry about the low freshman grades. i have the same problem. if the admissions people actually care about doing a good job, they will note your upward trend. id say good chance for all of them but the class rank might keep you from stanford and cornell. JHU may be a reach too but not a big one at all.</p>
<p>if youre a junior u may want to retake the SAT. not that your score is bad, since 2200+ is all wicked good, but an outstanding SAT may balance out the fact that your gpa is lower than it should be b/c of your freshman year</p>
<p>U of Chicago-low reach
Penn State-low reach
Princeton-reach
NYU-high match
Binghamton-match
Baruch-match
Stanford-reach
Cornell-high match
Johns Hopkins-high match</p>
<p>you’re a very strong candidate all around. Your language and math skills are phenomenal, and your SAT and GPA definitely do not hurt you. I expect that you will get into at least some of the ivies you listed.</p>
<p>Taking the SAT again can only help you. With score choice and most schools superscoring, if you can break that 2300+ barrier, you would have a big headstart over other kids applying to most of those schools. So far lookin good.</p>
