<p>This is probably a strange question because so often on here you see a kid with good grades, decent SATs and a laundry list of the best EC's you've ever seen, but I am the exact opposite.
I took the SAT in May without preparing much and got
760 CR 690 M 670 W = 2120
Then, I studied my butt off in math...and dropped 40 points. (but got a perfect CR)
800 CR 650 M 710 W = 2160</p>
<p>So my SATs (superscore 2200) are putting me in the mix for a bunch of super selective schools.</p>
<p>My grades are decent but I didn't have the toughest workload.
All A's or A plusses Freshman year with honors Math and English = 4.214 Weighted GPA
All A's or A plusses Sophomore year - EXCEPT honors Algebra 2 - B+ - with honors English Spanish and Math = 4.357 Weighted GPA
All A's or A plusses Junior year - EXCEPT honors English and math - with honors English, Spanish, and Math = 4.179 Weighted GPA </p>
<p>1st Quarter Senior Grades
AP Euro - B+
AP Computer Science - B
Honors Calculus (couldn't get into AP :( ) - A
AP Psych - A
Personal Finance (lol) - A+
English IV - A+
= 4.179 Weighted GPA</p>
<p>Now for my ECs... they're bad. Like really bad.
Job working at a supermarket for 20 hours a week this year
Volunteer work - like 50-ish hours a year including camp counselor and lighting for school play
Member of a few clubs at my school</p>
<p>Do you think that this fact will really keep me out of some schools I want to get into?</p>
<p>So that's my application in a nutshell. I think i want to go to school for business, and I'm applying to the following (in order of most reachy to least)
UPenn
Wash U in St. Louis
Boston College
Northeastern
Villanova
Fordham
Marist
Rutgers
UMass-Amherst</p>
<p>I may be applying to more, and if there's a school you think I should look at I would really appreciate it if you dropped it in the comments.
Also I'm a white guy from NJ, if that makes any difference.</p>
<p>Okay thanks for listening to pretty much my life story lol. </p>
<p>TL;DR - 2200 SAT, 4.2 Weighted Cumulative GPA, Terrible Extra-Circulars. Can I get in good schools?</p>
<p>(and i took the SAT in October but i don't know what I got yet)</p>
<p>(i'll be happy to chance you too, just link yourself in the comments)</p>
