<p>I really dont think im that good because my ECs suck.</p>

<p>Anyway I am looking into </p>

<p>Cornell (Maybe ED)
Northwestern (Maybe ED)
Rice (Maybe ED)
UPenn
Colombia
UC Berkeley
UChicago
That mellon one :)
HYPSM (LOL no chance)</p>

<p>Money isn't an issue, but parents will only pay 40-50k for "good" schools.</p>

<p>Your ECs are pretty good but number doesn’t matter. They look for commitment and passion and what you have learned. </p>

<p>Your GPA is low. Is it weighted? If it is, that’s not going to help you. A 3.8 would be really low if you took 10 AP classes, and the 3s on the exams aren’t a plus either. </p>

<p>But on the bright side, your SAT is really good, you have a lot of volunteer hours and your EC are pretty good. I would suggest getting your gpa up. Your ethnicity might give you a little bit of a better chance. However, they won’t look at your stats and say “no” then see your ethnicity and change their minds completely. You still have to be very competetive.</p>

<p>HYPSM extreme reaches
UPenn reach
Columbia* reach
Cornell low reach
UC Berkeley low reach (depends on where you live)
U. of Chicago low reach / match
Northwestern match
Rice match
Carnegie Mellon match</p>

<p>3.88 is on a 4.0 scale unweighted. I think 5 or 6 B’s rest A’s. I am 16 out of 800 students so ya all my classes are weighted on a 5.0 scale, but Im not very sure of my weighted GPA.</p>

5

<p>Cornell low reach really?? I thought it was an ivy.</p>

6

<p>btw I live in AZ.</p>

7

<p>Arizona is a plus. Good shot at Rice or NU if you apply ED.</p>

8

<p>

That’s good, at least.</p>

9

<p>Your school has ~800 seniors?! If you ED to Cornell you’re probably in. That’s my advice</p>

10

<p>I hope you have a couple of safety schools that you are planning on applying to as well. I don’t think any of the schools you have listed are in that category for your stats/profile.</p>

11

<p>lol im not a senior, I put at the start “Projected:” and then undermined everything, hopefully I will have 1k + hours.
@cobftw: YES!!! so much competition, school is ~ 3500 kids I think</p>

<p>eak325 nailed it.</p>
