<p>Hey guyss, </p>

<p>I saw that everyone was "chancing" each other to get into their top schools so I figured I might as well do the same. So here we go:</p>

<p>Schools Applying to:
Duke <3
Cornell (Probably try to get into ILR, since I'm from New York)
Georgetown
GW
UMiami
Penn State Honors
Syracuse
SUNY Binghamton
(if you can recommend other schools that could be in my target range that are good for political science/international relations/economics/intl bussiness it would be greatly appreciated)</p>

<p>Standardized Tests:
PSAT: 203 (Got into National Merit Competition, probably only Commended because the cut-off was 201, but National Merit status regardless of actual ending designation)
SAT: 2120; M-690, CR-670, W-760
SAT SUBJECT TESTS: World History-800; Biology E-730
ACT: Hopefully 33-34 (to make up for SAT) -- taking in Sept.
APs: World History-5; U.S. History-5, English Lang&Comp-5; Physics B-3</p>

<p>Cumulative GPA (Weighted): 100.328</p>

<p>Next year's APs: French, Government and Politics, Macroeconomics, Calculus AB, English Literature
--have taken all honors classes + APs since ninth grade, only non-honors classes taken were electives where no honors was available</p>

<p>Extracirricular Activities:
Model UN-9th-12th (chair since 10th grade an visited United Nations in 9th grade as apart of my high school's delegation to UNAUSA)
Moot Court-10th-12th
Mock Trial-11th-12th
Community Service Club-10th-12th
French Honor Society
Bussiness Honor Society
National Honor Society</p>

<p>Work Experience:
Cashier at a local hardware store for the past year, about 9-10 hrs/wk</p>

<p>Internship:
Research Assistant at the Representative Office for the International Bank of Azerbaijan-- Park Ave, NYC</p>

<p>College Experience:
Did a pre-collegiate summer program at Penn State University (Summer Study) -- took a fully accredited Criminal Justice Class with college students and finished class with a 4.0 (100 avg)</p>

<p>Volunteer Experience:
Local Assistant Living: Summer 2007-about 25 hours
Community Service Program at Penn State (mostly Red Cross blood drives and helping out in the State College community): about 15 hours
Helping out at Parents' non-for-profit Business school helping non-native speakers with homework, etc: 100+ hours</p>

<p>Fluent in Russian</p>

<p>So I know my SATs aren't the best to get into top-notch schools like Ivies and even Duke but I was wondering if my GPA, extracirriculars, and National Merit give me a chance..</p>

<p>Please chance, thankss so muchh!</p>

<p>Duke: low reach
Cornell: reach
Georgetown: ?
GW: match
UMiami: match</p>

<p>sorry im not familiar w/ alot of the schools on your list. However, i can recommend some colleges for you: rice, university of chicago, northwestern, and wash u @ st. louis. check them out to see if they fit you, DO NOT RELY ON MY WORDS ALONE (that includes me chancing you)…</p>

<p>you need to raise your SAT 1 math and cr… the writing score saved you but its the least important of the three…</p>

<p>raise all to 700+ and you will have a shot at duke.</p>

<p>yahh im not taking the SATs again, twice is enough thank you very much
thats why im trying to rely on my ACT score</p>

<p>I think that Georgetown is a low reach, maybe even a high match. Duke and Cornell are slightly harder because of SAT score. But apply anyways! Your GPA is insanely high, are you valedictorian?</p>

<p>Chance me back?

<p>Omg you’re so much like me, aha we should be friends <3
Honestly, I think you have a great shot at any of those schools, particularly with your GPA and EC’s, the research assistant thing is really impressive!</p>
