<p>Ok thank you so much for clicking. Right now I'm a Junior and thinking about colleges. Here are my grades...</p>

<p>I go to a very small school with not that many AP classes offered (only 50 kids per grade). Also, I took the most rigorous schedule (actually pushed my schedule past the most rigorous)</p>

<p>Rank= 1or2/50
Race: White Male</p>

<p>Freshman:</p>

<p>History B+
Honors Physics A
Honors Geometry A+
Honors Algebra II A+
Latin I A-
English A</p>

<p>Sophmore:</p>

<p>History B+
Honors Chemistry: A (5)
AP Calculus AB: A+ (4)
Latin II A-
Honors English A-</p>

<p>Junior</p>

<p>APUSH (B+)
AP Stat (A+)
AP Calculus BC A+(teacher told me she would give me a 100)
AP Physics B (private class, no grade- (5))
Latin III (B+)
Honors English (B+)</p>

<p>Senior</p>

<p>AP Latin
Linear Algebra
AP English

Electives...</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>Math I 670
Math II (800)
Chemistry 760
Physics (800)</p>

<p>SAT1: (2150+)</p>

<p>*The parenthesis indicate the most likely score...I tried to be reasonable. </p>

<p>Latin Club (4 years)
Math Team (4 years/ captain 2 years)

<p>Id say BU id definitely a safety. Thats all I can say because for the rest all of the applicants have about the same stats as you if not better so make sure you get amazing letters of recommendations and write amazing essays and you’ll have a decent chance at the Ivies.</p>

<p>Thanks. Also, I was thinking that BU (and maybe BC) were safeties.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’d say you’re 100% in to BU and BC may be a low match/ safety if that makes any sense… BU is also my safety and I have worse stats than you do.</p>

<p>Also, if you have a chance to do some kind of volunteer work your junior year/ senior year I would go for it because although EC’s aren’t what make or break you, they certainly do help. Yours are kind of below average for the schools your looking at (maybe above average for BU/BC).</p>

<p>Bump!!!</p>

<p>You have too many reaches. Coming from a small school, where personal attention is a given (and therefore great recs, more chances for leadership, and easier As than at a large school), your SATs tell a lot. I think you’d need to get at least 2200 or higher to show you’re ivy material. (BTW: there are some terrific schools that aren’t ivy!!!) I strongly advise you to look at other colleges. (WashU, JHU, Gtown, ND, Northwestern) plus look into the LACs.</p>
