Chances at NYU and others

<p>hey everyone, I am a senior this year getting ready to apply to a few colleges and just looking to see how im doing right now. I am a hispanic male, and was placed on some sort of collegeboard list of 5000 hispanic scholars based on my PSAT scores, along with being a National Merit Scholarship recognization</p>

<p>I come from a pretty competitive high school, each year maybe 10-15 kids out of 300 get sent to IVY's, many others go to upper level private university. I am in the top 5-10 percent of my class and have pretty much the most rigorous schedule one could take throughout my high school career.<br>
Ap classes include
World History-5
US History-5
Biology-5
English Language-5
Psychology-4
My Senior Year I am also taking
AP Physics
AP Government
AP Calculus
AP English Literature
AP Statistics</p>

<p>Whenever an AP course wasn't offered, I took the highest level course available for that subject. </p>

<p>My GPA throughout high school to this point is around a 95 unweighted, Im guessing around 97 weighted. </p>

<p>On my SATS I got
Reading-700
Math-740
Writing-710</p>

<p>SAT subject tests
Biology-780
Math 2-690
US history-720</p>

<p>My extracurriculars include things like vice president of student council for 3 years, varsity golf for 4, including captain for 3 of those years, Competed in DECA at the national level, and placed at the state level, and I have volunteered hundreds of hours working at the first tee program in my area, which is my main extracurricular.</p>

<p>the schools I am considering at the moment, some of which I know are a reach or even totally out of the question, but they are</p>

<p>NYU/Stern
Carnegie Mellon
MIT
U of Chicago
Pepperdine
Northwestern
UPENN
Cornell
Boston College</p>

<p>if you can chance me for these schools, and maybe help me find a safety or two that would be awesome</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>NYU here. </p>

<p>you look really solid for Stern! i don’t see where you can improve. just write really good supplements for the NYU app.</p>
