Chances at Emory, Princeton, Georgetown, Berkeley, UVA, NYU, Tulane?

Chance Me / Match Me!

I know this is sort of premature, but I’m very determined :wink:

White Jewish F from Chicago

Here are my credentials so far:

ACT: 31 (M-28, S-29, E-34, R-31). I got a 23 on the writing section, only because that was the first time I took the ACT and I did not have a chance to really prepare for it. (I plan on taking it again this week)

I haven’t taken the SATII yet, but I plan on taking World History, Math L1, and Literature (maybe Chem)

GPA: 4.2 W (My school doesn’t calculate UW)

APs: 4 by the time apply- AP Psychology, AP European History, AP Statistics, AP Computer Science (My school only offers 8)

ECs:
-Founder and Editor in Chief of school newspaper
-Founder and captain of our XC team
-Member of the GSA
-I volunteer at a home for the blind and play piano for residents every Sunday
-I interned at 2 music stores
-This summer I plan to intern at a not for profit law firm that provides lawyers for cancer patients
-I went to a public speaking camp at UCBerkeley and won the debate championship there

Hooks:
-I speak Hebrew and French relatively well
-My dad is in jail
-Half Israeli
-I go to a performing arts high school for classical piano

I’m applying for the class of 2021, if that wasn’t made clear enough.

Princeton, Georgetown, berkeley you have close to no chance at unless you significantly raise your act. Emory and UVA you could probably slide onto the waitlist. NYU and Tulane, you probably have a good chance.
