Chances at BU, NU, JHU etc...

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am going to be a Senior
GPA: unweighted about 3.5-3.6/weighted 3.7-3.8 and should be top 10-12ish% by the time of applying from a very competitive public high school in MA.
SAT: Critical Reading-630, Math-710, Writing-640 (total: 1980) going to take again.
SATII: Math 2c-710, Bio:M-660
APs: Bio (got a 4), Calc BC, English, Stats, Psych
Got a 101 on the AMC12 and took the AIME
Skipped algebra 1 so I was a year ahead in math of all my classmates.
Took the max Honors/AP courses every year.
Part of NHS, Young Liberals Club (was the secretary and treasurer), Math team, German Club, Film club, Concert Band, After-school orchestra, marching band, and taught myself bass. I also played in a rec basketball league for the past 7 years if that means anything...
I did Youth and Government, where I held a leadership position on governers cabinet and was selected from Massachusetts as one of the "elite" 20 to go to the Conference on National Affairs in North Carolina. (About 300-400 kids participate in the program from MA, thousands across the nation). Youth and government is going to be the hook for my applications cause I was most involved in that and will most likely start it at my school as it was just that great. (I also have a letter of recommendation lined up from the state director).
Worked at a local department store and electronic store for pay and did community service at 2 Hospitals. One was more patient interaction and the other was clerical work.</p>

<p>That's me!
My main colleges right now are Boston University, Brandeis, and early decision at either JHU or NU.</p>

<p>What major are you applying under?</p>

<p>JHU - not likely
Brandeis - maybe
Boston - in
NU = Northeastern? If so, you're in.</p>

3

<p>GPA is ok ( but kinda low for JHU)
SAT is low for i think all of them
SAT2's are ok
EC's are good (nice hook/letter)
all in all ill have to agree with theoneo unless u can get that SAT up to around 2200+</p>

<p>good luck</p>

4

<p>SAT is not low for all of them</p>

<p>idk wut schools ur thinking about theoneo</p>

5

<p>I can definately see you getting into BU and perhaps Brandeis as a slight reach. John Hopkins and Northwestern (if thats what you meant) even ED would be definate reaches. If you meant Northeastern I think you will be easily in.</p>

<p>I indeed meant Northwestern in Illinois. I forgot to state in my original post that I moved from california between my freshman and sophomore years and it shows in my GPA as it goes 3.9 freshman year, 3.3 sophomore year, 3.9 junior year. As a result of this my counselor is going to speak about how my move was a reason my grades faultered that year but how I picked it up afterwards.</p>

<p>Also, can you please recommend me some schools in my range from matches to attainable reaches. I am going to do premed in college. Currently I am looking at BU, NYU, NU (ED), JHU (ED), Brandeis, Lehigh (do they have a premed program?), USC, and the majority of the UC system schools (I lived there for 10+ years and moving back would be nice).</p>

<p>If you could tell me chances at those plus give me some alternate schools to look at that would be great.</p>

<p>bump this to the top, please</p>
