<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I'm sure that you're all fairly tired of "chance me" threads, but I can't stop thinking about college apps (though I'm only a junior) and I think something like this would help a bit. How do you think I'd fare at the following schools?
Vandy
Gtown
Cal
Williams
Emory
UCLA
Wake
UChicago
NYU
UMich
Cornell
UPenn</p>
<p>Here are my stats:
3.7 gpa (expected 3.78 at the end of the year) (very competitive schoool) (4.2 ish weighted?)
congressional internships
peer tutor
JSA chapter president
leadership role in statewide leadership organization
speech and debate (with some awards)
debate camp
ap scores: 4s and 5s (5s on the ones that are relevant to my intended major, polisci)
2400 sat</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice,
Corny Biscuit</p>
<p>you got a perfect SAT score? haha then you’re set for most places and I wouldn’t worry</p>
<p>with a 2400, you have a great chance at every school you apply to. the only problem would be that your unweighted gpa is kind of low for ivys, so try to bring it closer to the 3.9 range.</p>
<p>Well, the perfect SAT score is definitely helping you. Your GPA is a little on the low side for these schools, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re out. </p>
<p>I say if you have that GPA up to around a 3.8-3.9 by the end of the first semester of your Senior year, you should be in very good standing. I’d say that you’re definitely in to Wake Forest, and I’d say much the same for NYU. As long as UMich and UCLA submissions don’t go completely insane this year, I’d say you have a solid shot there (if you live instate at either of those, you might as well consider them a safety). I would say your shot at Cornell, Emory, Georgetown, Vanderbilt, and UPenn are decent (as good as anyone’s can be).</p>
<p>Cal(tech?), UChicago, and Williams are definitely not going to be easy, though. Your ECs are decent, but they’re not crazy good. If you can expand your ECs, I think you’ll fare pretty well against all of these schools. </p>
<p>Not saying your ECs aren’t great, because they are. Are those all of your ECs, or is it just the leadership/major ones?</p>
<p>That’s pretty much it, haha. I’ve been an attendee at a couple of major political conferences? I try to keep the ecs limited and just focus on a few, but yeah, these are all of them. And by Cal I mean UC Berkeley 
I live in California and am South Asian, if that helps.</p>
