Hi everyone! So I’ve hit my mid-junior year crisis where I’m stressing about getting accepted to colleges next year. Would anyone be willing to chance me for the following schools: Central Connecticut SU, University of Hartford, Boston U, Uconn, Villanova, Syracuse, Princeton, Brown, Columbia, UPenn, Yale, Boston C
So my stats are:
4.01 W/3.9 UW GPA
710 CR 750 M 740 W (2200) SAT
Subject Tests in June: Bio M and Math II
APs: US History (didn’t take exam), English Language, Psychology, Biology (This May), English Lit, Calc BC, Statistics, European History, Physics 1 (Senior Year)
Senior Year Course load: AP Physics 1, AP Calc BC, AP Stats, AP English Lit, AP European History, Human Anatomy, Female Literature
ECs (also including what I’m expecting to get senior year): Editor in Chief of School Newspaper (writer for 4 years)
Teacher’s Aide (3 years)
Student Council (VP, member for 4 years)
Key Club (4 years)
Math team (Varsity, 2 years)
Cross Country (Captain, Leadership Award, 3 years)
Peer Tutor Club (President, 2 years)
Religion Teacher (3 years)
Youth Journalism International (2 years)
VA Hospital Volunteer (1.5 years)
UCONN High School summer research program (summer before Senior year)
National Honor Society (also English, Math, Spanish, Science, and History…possibly running for a few offices)
Governors Scholars Award Finalist
I’m also applying for the Questbridge College Prep Scholarship so I’m hoping I get that under my belt. I’m also planning to apply for the NCM program so I would apply to the partner colleges listed above.
Personal:
I have a great relationship with my two recommenders and writing is a skill of mine. I’m also a white female, EFC 0, and my family makes <$40k. I’m a first generation and would be applying for biology/pre-med.
Thanks to anyone who was willing to read through all this and reply!
Bumpppp

you have a solid application and ‘hooks’ to put you on the map at all your top choices-you have no reason to worry.
Central Connecticut SU, U Hartford, bu, uconn, villanova, bc and syracuse you should have no worries for
brown probably a low reach
Princeton yale columbia and upenn youre definitely in the ballpark but anyone should consider these reaches
You’ve definitely got a great shot at all of these schools though, Good luck!
Thank you so much! I wasn’t sure if my ECs were “unique” enough or if what I considered to be “hooks” actually were that.
