Chance me

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm currently a junior at a very competitive public high school that sends kids to top schools every year; last year kids went to columbia, princeton, yale, u of chicago, cornell, dartmouth, mit, and caltech (probably some others i'm forgetting). </p>

<p>I'm looking at the following colleges, but being a junior this is obviously no where near official:
Berkeley
Georgia Tech
University of Rochester (live in rochester and have done some programs there...don't know if that helps
Cornell
Johns Hopkins
University of chicago
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)
Ohio State (parents are alums)</p>

<p>As for majors probably molecular biology, aerospace engineering, or neuroscience</p>

<hr>

<p>Academics
Rank: High school doesn't rank
GPA (unweighted): 4.0
SAT: taking it december 3rd, but usually get 700-730 on practice tests and got a 780 on a math section I did today
SAT II: plan on taking Biology, Math II, and Physics
AP's: World History (4), Physics B (5)</p>

<p>Junior year schedule: honors pre-calc, english 11, ap us history, ap chem, ap bio, ap computer science</p>

<p>senior year (most likely): calc bc, ap physics c, ap macro/micro, ap law and gov, creative writing, and possibly band and/or ap environmental</p>

<hr>

<p>EC's (which happen to be pretty freakin' weak):
Treasurer and writer for our school newspaper, which has been ranked best in the state numerous times in recent years</p>

<p>Young Republicans club</p>

<p>Treasurer of the Men's Club (doesn't sound official, but we do walks/bbq's for testicular cancer)</p>

<p>science olympiad</p>

<p>have an internship lined up at a research lab at the U of Rochester</p>

<p>planning on volunteering at big brother/big sister this summer</p>

<p>If its not too late, haha
You seem like a VERY strong candidate for most of these schools. Although the SAT II can make or break you, its good to take them! (You’ll probably do very well on them) But, may i suggest a sport? Getting into competitive schools like Cornell, JHU, and Berkeley, its great to have a sport on your transcript. As for chances:
Berkeley-Match
Georgia Tech-High Match
Rochester-High Match
Cornell-Match/Low Reach
JHU-Low Reach
Chicago-Low Reach/Reach
RPI-IN
Ohio State-IN
Good Luck!!</p>

<p>Assuming you get somewhere around a 2200 on the SAT, I think your pretty much a match for everything, especially with that internship lined up at the research lab. </p>

<p>Berkeley - match
Georgia Tech - match
University of Rochester - in
Cornell - match
Johns Hopkins - low reach
University of chicago - match
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) - in
Ohio State (parents are alums) - in </p>
