Chance Me?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Senior next year! Kind of freaking out...</p>

<p>Chance me for: Ivies?, Duke</p>

<p>GPA: 3.94-3.95 (we'll find out at the end of this year...)
I go to a private school that does not rank students, nor provides a weighted GPA
We actually do %ages here (95%) but I like the 4.0 scale more...
SAT: 2280 (don't remember individual scores)
AP: Taken-AP Calc AB, AP Latin: Vergil, AP Statistics
Will be taking AP Bio, AP English Literature, AP Calc BC, maybe AP Psychology
Race: Asian
Gender: Male
ECs: LOTS of music... various competition winners in state, regional, and local level--Really into chamber music-going to a chamber music summer camp this summer and went to two years of the same music program run by my youth symphony
Member of City Youth Symphony (kinda wanna keep it vague for now for privacy...)
Varsity XC freshman and sophomore year
Received a part in school musical freshman and sophomore year
Acted as assistant director and musical director in two shows sophomore year
500+ hours of community service working in various things like at a cultural museum, school, and community service gigs.</p>

<p>I don't think I'm leaving anything out... please chance me! I'll chance you and tell me if you need to know anything else :]</p>

<p>Also, if anyone can suggest other schools to apply to, please tell me! I am definitely applying to other (“normaller”) schools than JUST the Ivies but I kind of wanted to see if a kid like me could have a chance in entering the Ivy League.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>A 95% on a 4.0 scale is a 3.8.</p>

<p>Seriously? I calculated the 4.0-scale GPA using the total number of A/A-/B+/etc.</p>

<p>Also: [How</a> to Convert Your GPA to a 4.0 Scale](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>How to Convert (Calculate) Your GPA to a 4.0 Scale – BigFuture) ?</p>

<p>Does anybody have any helpful advice?</p>

<p>Any helpful advice…? Anybody?
It would also be totally helpful if you can suggest other great schools as well! I am still compiling my list of schools so any feedback would be great.</p>

<p>Ivies and Duke will be reaches, with HYP being very high reaches. Have you looked at UNC and UWisc-Madison and Hamilton and Vanderbilt? All matches and high matches for you probably.</p>

<p>@born2dance94 Thank you! Do you know anybody who would be a “match” for Ivies and Duke? Also, does it help if I have a sibling who graduates '12 there?</p>

<p>@bballsam I don’t think I mentioned UMich… What kind of school is it?</p>

11

<p>If anybody else would like to tell me about any more interesting schools (and why?), please do! I’d love to learn more about other colleges :]</p>

<p>I know someone who was a match for Harvard. His dad is a tenured Harvard Econ Professor. Any Fortune 500 who donates a lot can make sure his kids are matches.</p>

<p>WOW. That’s amazing(ly lucky?)! But besides those who have tons of money, I presume everyone is probably "reach"ing for the Ivies?</p>
