<p>Okay you’re saying your school only offers ONE AP??? Stats? That is un poco loco if you ask me. Your ECs and GPA are good, but the lack of APs is freaking me out about your chances. If honors really is harder than AP, then you should take the AP exams for those classes to prove you know the material as well as an AP student would.
Duke - I don’t know much about it, but you will need a 2200+.
Stanford - You will need to pray a lot and get a 2250+. (same with Penn and brown).
The rest - You have a really good shot.
The reason I gave you such a high SAT requirement is because of the way you described your school. If honors really is the highest at your school, then I can’t see a B+ killing your rank that much. The only way I could see that is if some kids took AP Euro and got As while you took honors Euro and got an A.
In the end, Ivies and stanford are meant for people with exceptional talent and kids that are ranked really highly in their classes. If you can demonstrate that extraordinary talent with your SATs, then you should be all set. (Meaning you will have the same chance as the rest of us).</p>
<p>But:
Congrats on the GPA
Great ECs!
And sorry for being kind of a jerk.</p>
