Thanks, and be blunt please..</p>
<p>Grades and academics are a bit low, but test scores are excellent (though how did you miss two and got a 720?). Your ECs show passion which is good. UPenn is reach, Northwestern is match I’d say</p>
<p>Your scores will hold up, but assuming that the only AP’s you have taken are Government and chemistry your curriculum will not. With that few AP’s you might need a 4.0 and better AP scores to get into a schools like these.</p>
<p>At Williams your location could help in getting your application noticed, but if you’re not the student they are looking for it still wouldn’t get you in.</p>
<p>Arobins, the thing is that AP Gov and Chemistry are basically the only two AP classes kids at my school can take before senior year. You’re required to take all the honors courses that precede it. I mean, I’ve also taken AP Music Theory, but really that’s it. Senior Year I will be taking 5 AP’s. This is the extent of what my school offers unfortunately.</p>
