Chances at Ivy Leagues

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Okay so I've recently been considering how good or bad my odds are for getting into Ivy Leagues.</p>

<p>My GPA is above a 4.0 due to AP Courses. I got a 32 on my ACT. I have not taken my SAT Subjects yet (Math and Chem or Bio) but intend to get high scores. I am also considering taking the SAT to see if I can do better on that compared to the ACT.</p>

<p>I took the highest courses avaiable freshman year. I am took 2 AP's in sophmore year, one of which was only available to Juniors and Seniors but I skipped Honors Biology, and all honors in my other courses. I am taking all AP's as a Junior and will take all Ap's as a senior too. I am at the top of my class and am the most likely going to be valedictorian, which Im not too pumped for.</p>

<p>In the extra-curricular field I am in several clubs and leadership positions. I tutor, I am president of our schools service club, on the class cabinet, student council, freshman advisor, I am president of Invisible Children at our school, and am in Ping-Pong Club (Me and my friends created it with some upperclassmen for fun). I also play Tennis for my school but Im not exactly stellar, its mostly for fun. I am also involved in a charity organization that my family friends founded called "OKA!". In my free time when I'm not caught up in schoolwork I like to mess around with computer programming and Music Writing. I used to be in band but I didn't really like the structure so instead I just write my own music :P. </p>

<p>Finally, my Uncle is Close friends with a Harvard interviewer (I've heard thats a good perk) and my two teachers who are writing my recommendation letters have a PhD if that is of any intrest.</p>

<p>Please give me some feed back on some areas I could improve. Thanks!</p>

<p>For your ECs just focus on a few and put A LOT of time into those few. Quality over quantity as they say. Your ACT score is pretty good but try to get that to a 34 or 35. Keep playing tennis consistency with one or two sports look good. </p>

<p>I kinda need more stats like the SAT Subject Tests, to make a better decision. So I can’t really judge you as of now. </p>

<p>Chance be back?

<p>You should definitely take SAT. You never know what you’ll do well on. Other than that, it appears that you’ve tried to take a hard courseload and done well in your classes. Try to get into some leadership positions. I’d chance you as Ivies being a reach. The test scores may do you in</p>

<p>Chance me back (Chance me for Ivies?)?</p>
