Chance Me?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am a rising senior at Bronx Science, & i wanted to know what my chances are at:</p>

<p>-NYU
-Sophie Davis
-Johns Hopkins
-Cornell
-Columbia
-BU
-BC
-Barnard</p>

<p>My SAT was 2110 combined.
Math: 700
Writing: 730
Reading: 680
ACT: 30
& hoping to raise these scores [going to take both again]</p>

<p>Math II: 750
US: 720
Chem: 710</p>

<p>I<code>m not sure about my average as of now [haven</code>t gotten an updated transcript]
but something like a middle-high 92.</p>

<p>I`ve taken honors math all three years.
I took Honors English, AP Stat, AP Psych this year.
& am going to take AP Calc BC, Ap Chem, AP US Govt, & AP Lit.

Not too strong in ECs:
-Volunteered at Library
-Volunteering at nearby hospital
-Cooking Club
-MSA 2 years
-Track Manager: all of junior year.
-Biology Squad [helping out in the Biology Dep`t]
-School Library Service
& hope to join Arista next year.</p>

<p>So what are my chances at all these schools?</p>

<p>PS. I might want to do ED at either Cornell or Columbia. Which one should I choose & what are my chances at that?
AND, also, I might also want to major in BME. Does that hurt/ improve my chances?</p>

<p>You don’t have a chance at any of the Ivy’s. But you have a chance at NYU and Hopkins. NYU’s acceptance rate is very high as I recall. </p>

<p>Bronx Science is a specialized high school if I recall correctly, so that will look good for NYU and Hopkins.</p>

<p>Where do you fall rasnk wise in your class?</p>

<p>Both Coulmbia and Cornell get a lot of applicants from Bronx Science and they will only take so many. They get a tom of great applicants from the many great high schools in NY and don’t want a school full of New Yorkers. </p>

<p>So your greatest competition is your own classmates and then the rest of the high achieving kids in NYC. So get your scores up for a start-the averages include all the hooked and the kids from Alaska who can get in with lower stats.</p>

<p>Barnard ED or BC may be the best bet.</p>

<p>yeah Bronx Science is a specialized school.</p>
