Hi! These are my stats (as a junior)
1490 on my first SAT attempt (700 on Reading, 790 on Math, 22 on essay)
1560 on my second SAT attempt (760 reading and 800 on math, 20 on essay)
3.9 GPA unweighted
I’ve done 3 APs so far and I’m taking 4 this year
I’ve taken AP Gov (4), AP Comp Sci (5), and AP Calc AB (5)
Right now, I am taking AP Lang, AP Calc BC, AP Chem, and AP Physics 1

EC’s:
I did an internship over the summer at a university where I worked in a lab research environment (unpaid)
Participated in numerous honor bands (District Honor Band, All State, County Honor Band… I play the flute)
I have won the NCWIT Aspirations in Technology Award
Placed third in my county technology fair (not that great but it’s something I guess)
Officer in French Honor Society and 121 Reach (a tutoring club)
5 on the AP Computer Science and Calc AB exams
I’ve done Marching Band for the past three years and I plan on doing it next year too

I’m a junior looking at applying to schools like UChicago, Northwestern, and UMich early admission next year, most probably in computer science. Is there anywhere that my ECs are lacking or do I have a pretty good shot?
Thanks!

Good EC’s and SAT Score! Impressive :slight_smile:
But your GPA should be relatively high for colleges like UChicago…
UChicago: 45%
Northwestern: 48%
UMich: 60%

^^ NO!!!

The schools you listed are some of the best in the country. Unless you go to a well known private school (I am assuming you don’t; however, correct me if i am wrong), then you don’t not have such high chances merely because THESE SCHOOLS ARE EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE. You are a strong applicant, but there are many strong applicants. This process is a crap shoot!!! Moreover, when are you planning on applying to Uchicago and northwestern? Because that would change my guesses. Also, what state are you in?

UChicago (ED): 25%
UChicago (EA): 18%
UChicago (EDII): 20%
UChicago (RD): 5%

Northwestern (ED): 25%
Northwestern (RD): 8%

UMich (EA instate): 60%
UMich (EA oos): 40%

You are a very smart person and will definitely end up at a good school. Your GPA, SAT, and EC’s are all very impressive. Good luck!
