<p>Nice GPA and sat! Make you very ideal for any of the top schools. But what majors are you interested in?</p>

<p>Also, off topic, but what is the blood donor championship? Sounds crazy haha</p>

<p>haha thanks!! i received the blood donor championship because my SGO raised the most pints for blood donation this year in NJ lol :slight_smile: </p>

<p>And on a side note, what schools do u think i should apply to as matches and safeties?</p>

<p>My reaches, however, are Harvard, UPenn, Columbia, Stanford, and UChicago.</p>

<p>Honestly with the Ivy Leagues, their admissions can all be toss-ups. If I were you, I would just apply to ALL of the Ivies and I am pretty sure you will be admitted into at least one of them. </p>

<p>So my philosophy is apply to a crap load of Ivy leagues and top schools like Stanford and the odds are that you will be accepted into at least 1 or more of those schools. Your stats are perfect, but you know those admission officers. Applying to the Ivies is like playing Russian roulette with 5 bullets in the chamber.</p>

<p>Aceshigh is right. Apply to all if you can.</p>

<p>May I suggest any of the ucs? UCLA/UCSD/UC Berkley are public schools with that “private school” feel and they all have wonderful science programs if you are interested in the sciences</p>

<p>Haha yea! Thanks for the advice guys!</p>
