<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Could you chance (I'll chance back!) me at:
- Duke (early decision)
- Harvard
- Brown
- UVA
- UNC

<p>I go to an independent (both public and private, weird, I know) school in CT
I have a 3.94 unweighted GPA (4.20 weighted) and I am <em>13 of 550</em> (top 2.5%) in my class. I got a 32 on my ACT's and I am waiting for the June scores to come back. I have not taken the SAT. Highest honors all semesters. My recommendations will come from my AP US History teacher and my independent study advisor (also advisor for Young Voters Society, see below). Both have written me recs before and they have been superb.</p>

<p>Took most rigorous course load possible at my school freshman-junior year...
Senior year classes will be:
- AP Calc AB
- AP English Lit
- AP Biology
- AP Economics
- Physics
- Political Science Independent Study
(also had newspaper article+news story on me for being the first person in my town ever under the age of 18 to vote [B-Day fell before general election])</p>

<p>I would say that you have a good chance with most of the colleges. You do need a higher ACT score and must take some SAT II’s for the more selective colleges. You have nice diversity in your EC’s but I don’t feel that any of them are deep enough for Harvard, sorry.</p>

<ul>
<li>Duke (early decision)-(low Reach)</li>
<li>Harvard (high reach)</li>
<li>Brown (Reach)</li>
<li>UVA (match)</li>
<li>UNC (match but might even be a saftey)</li>
<li>Wake Forest (idk)</li>
<li>College of William and Mary (idk)</li>
<li>Boston College (idk)</li>
<li>Elon (idk)</li>
<li>Marist College (idk)</li>
<li>U Richmond (idk)</li>
</ul>

<p>I am not familar with some of these colleges but they do not seem to be that selective. You should have no problem getting into these colleges.</p>

<p>Also if you write an average essay, you probably won’t get into any of the reach colleges. If it is solid that you might have a chance.</p>

<p>Overall you need</p>

<p>Higher ACT
750+ on SAT II’s
a solid essay</p>
