<p>Hi! I'm a rising senior at a public school in Florida, and I am considering applying to Princeton and Dartmouth. Currently I am a full time student at a local university, and will have an associates degree by the time I graduate high school. I plan on majoring in Biology and going to Medical school. I slacked somewhat early high school (I was planning on being a music major) and got 3 B's my sophomore year, but I took 5 AP/AICE classes in my first two years of high school and currently have around a 3.86 unweighted GPA. I have around 40 credits at the University I'm attending, and have a 4.0. I am entering the University honors program and another honors society. I am also a peer mentor for incoming students and a member of the chemistry club. For volunteering, I have around a 100 hours from volunteering at various places, including Teen Court, and the local Zoo, as well as single-day events at my university. As for ECs, I was highly involved in band my first two years (marching band, concert band, all-county, state solo and ensemble, scholarship competitions, youth philharmonic orchestra, etc.) as well as Mu Alpha Theta. When I began at my university, I switched to its music program and played in the top wind ensemble and the pep band.</p>
<p>Stats:</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.8-3.9 (not sure exactly)
Weighted GPA (1 point AP/DE, 0.5 honors) around a 4.9.
College unweighted: 4.0
SAT: 1960 (670 reading, 660 math, 630 writing)
ACT: 31 composite (35 English, 28 Math, 28 Science, 34 Reading)
I plan on taking the ACT again and studying for the Math/Science.
I Haven't taken subject tests yet, but will in October and plan to do well in Biology and Chemistry (I've taken 2 semesters of each at a university)</p>
<p>Do you think I should try and apply to Princeton and Dartmouth? I am also definitely applying to University of Florida and University of South Florida.</p>
<p>I’m not so sure you will make Princeton, but definitely apply. Your ECs should follow your passion and how you reflect your passion in everything you do. Your ECs were kind of all over the place. No leadership positions either, that’ll hurt. And, SAT is pretty low for Ivies. I think you should retake the SAT since in the NE that is what is most common standardized test. You do have a very rigorous course schedule thought. I’d say mid to high reach</p>
<p>@soze All the other universities I’ve researched consider me a freshman for admission, so I would assume Princeton is the same. All I’ve done is duel enrollment. Also, I was planning on only submitting ACT scores since I obviously perform better on that test. I feel that I can get at least a 33 if I actually study beforehand. Do schools like Princeton consider ACT equal to the SAT? I know my SAT scores aren’t what they need to be, but I feel that I can get a comparable ACT score.</p>
<p>You can’t be “a full time student at a university” and earn a degree (associates or otherwise) and still meet that criteria. I would call the admissions offices of schools you’d like to attend to clarify your status before applying. Dual-enrollment is one thing, but if you get a degree, it becomes something else.</p>
<p>Quite frankly, I don’t know why you’d want to waste those two years of credit. </p>
<p>Try for Columbia School of General Studies I dont kno if you dontlike the campus or the city but the school is for non-traditional students kind of like you. </p>
