Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi, could you please chance me for some schools including HYP? (I'll list them at the bottom.)</p>

<p>As I am currently a sophomore, there's not very much information to base predictions off of, but I'd love it if anyone could try.</p>

<p>I'm a Caucasian female and I attend a huge public, Northern CA high school (3,400+ students). Although I don't know for sure, I'm probably in the top 10% of my class.</p>

<p>I have not taken the SAT I yet, I expect at least a 2100, hopefully 2200-2300.
I am taking SAT IIs in Chemistry and Spanish soon, I expect at least a 750 on Chem and 800 on Spanish.
I expect 5s on Chemistry and Spanish Language (scores come out July 2013)</p>

<p>My Transcript (so far):</p>

<p>Freshman year (lots of required courses, almost no honors options):
-Adv. Biology (A)
-World Geography/Ancient Civ. (A)
-Freshman English (A)
-Drama (A)
-Spanish 7/8 (A)

<p>I have been dancing at pre-professional ballet studio for almost 13 years. I currently take classes 13 hours each week. I have attended international summer dance programs in PA and NYC.
I play the oboe, English horn in my school's advanced (auditioned) ensemble. I also play clarinet and tenor saxophone.
I have experience performing on-stage and in the pit orchestra for a local youth musical theater organization.
I was in Berkeley Unified School District's K-8 Dual Immersion Program and am fluent in Spanish.
I volunteer teaching dance at my main ballet studio and another local studio.</p>

<p>I know I don't have much in the way of clubs, notable awards or internships/work experience/volunteering. </p>

<p>If you have any advice on how to expand my resume, I would greatly appreciate it.</p>

<p>Schools:
Yale
Harvard
Princeton

<p>Thanks!</p>

I’d say your biggest weakness is your ECs. Your lack of volunteering might be an issue as well, no college wants selfish people. Play up your ballet volunteering and maybe add something else. Also, get involved in clubs or start one at your school, especially for leadership positions. Your grades are on par, a 2100 would be a weak SAT score, if you could get in the 22-2300 range with a 1500+ CR/M you’d be fine. Do you have any awards of any form to show for your dancing? That would bolster your resume. Many of the schools on your list are reaches for almost anyone, add some safeties! Chances: </p>

<p>Harvard: Reach
Princeton: Reach
Columbia: Low Reach
Brown: Reach
NYU: High Match
UCLA: Match
BU: Match
Northeastern:Match</p>
