<p>hey i've posted on stanford and duke but i haven't gotten many responses with my new stats/ i've been overthinking my situation too much so i no longer have any point of reference as to where i stand anymore and would really appreciate any outside opinions!!! :):)</p>

<p>lets see: white middle/upperclass girl from the eastcoast burbs, at a very high ranked public school for my state.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.95+ i'd geuss by normal standards (we're on a weird 6.0 system) but all A's with a few A-'s and A+'s. and one B+ which was jr year in english </p>

<p>Courseload: most difficult I could take (I got that advice early) 9 APs altogether, everything else was honors (like frosh/soph years), debate, and an authentic science research class (do independent research etc.)</p>

<p>SAT: 2140 CR: 800 math: 660 writing: 680 </p>

<p>SAT2's: ushis:720, bioE: 670 taking lit, math2, and french in the fall. lets hope math2 especially is better than my sat1 score.</p>

<p>ACT: 35-eng 32-math 29-reading 30-science >> 32 composite</p>

<p>APs: Eng=5, Bio=5 (hoping this can make up for the sat2?), UShis=4, French=3</p>

<p>There Is So Much Crap There I Cannot Imagine You Not Getting Into Everywhere, Seriously</p>

3

<p>haha yeah he said it.. retake SAT I though</p>

4

<p>White, upper middle=need higher test scores.</p>

<p>I have been reading through many posts trying to get some answers for help in where I should be applying to colleges and have just been getting SO depressed.</p>

<p>Here are my stats, no where near where everyone else seems to be.</p>

<p>I have a waited gpa of 3.72, have taken as many honor courses as I have been able, the weight on the school website says it is at 1.10 for honors.</p>

<p>My sats are poor - I just took them for the second time in June, they are Verbal - 520 and Math 580. (This is with private tutoring for the sats for five months!)</p>

<p>I have played school ball and have been captain of my jv team and have lettered in varsity.</p>

<p>My sophmore year of high school I had mono and it hurt my grades. I have, however been on high honor roll for most of my high school.</p>

<p>I want to study biological sciences.</p>

<p>Are there any suggestions for an unexciting applicant like me as to where to apply? I have auditory processing which I think did hurt me for the sats, however, it was something that I was never classified for - I have just worked hard to try to overcome my challenges. </p>

<p>Any suggestions would be really appreciated.</p>

<p>jennyanne:</p>

<p>test scores low overall. EC good but not great.</p>

<p>unless you get SAT to 2250+, no chance at HYPS. low chance at lower ivies and the other school you mentioned. better if you do ED.</p>
