Chances at select universities

<p>I'm just going to get to it. Details (personal stuff), then academics, then EC's.
I want to be a bio major. Probably genetics or neuroscience. </p>

<p>------Personal-------</p>

<p>-Sex: Male
-Ethnicity: I was born here, but my parents are Iranian, so that'd make me white I suppose. I'm also fluent in Farsi (language in Iran), which helps a buttload.
-Age: 17</p>

<p>-------Academics-------
-Homeschooled (no report card :( )
-Took four college courses at a community college here, and I will be attending public high school as a senior this year.</p>

<p>--College course grades--
-Algebra II - A
-Freshman Comp. - A
-Precalculus - B
-Biology - A
-Cum GPA: 3.8</p>

<p>-----SAT-----
M 620
V 540 (I'm retaking it, and I will definitely hit the 650 mark on math and verbal.)
W 610 (Got every question right, but a crap essay score.)</p>

<p>I have yet to take Math II and Bio E/M subject tests in November, and retake SAT I in October. </p>

<p>I don't know if my class schedule for twelfth grade will affect my chances at my chosen colleges. I'm not too familiar with that stuff....</p>

<p>My homeschooled courses from ninth grade to eleventh grade.
---9th Grade---
-Algebra I
-World Literature/Vocabulary&Poetry/Grammar&Composition (very demanding load for one class)
-Health science
-Physical science
-World geography </p>

<p>---10th Grade---
-Algebra II
-World Literature/Vocab./Grammar&Comp.
-Biology
-World History
-Spanish I</p>

<p>---11th grade---
-Plane Geometry
-English Literature/Vocab./Grammar&Comp.
-Chemistry
-US History (favorite subject hands down...well, after bio)
-Spanish II
-Life Management (third favorite subject, mainly because I had the same teacher in US History)</p>

<p>I still have to see what classes I'll be taking this year. </p>

<p>-----Extracurriculars-----
Not much, actually.
-100+ hours at Stony Brook hospital
-part of the Suffolk County Orchid Society
-play the guitar (hope it counts for something....)</p>

<p>-------Selected Colleges-------</p>

<p>---Safeties---
-SUNY Stony Brook
-Syracuse University
-Union College (I might knock that one off my list, still not 100% sure.)</p>

<p>I won't say if I match or "reach" any colleges, because I'm not sure. But, these are the colleges I want to apply to along with the above:</p>

<p>-U of Rochester
-Boston University
-George Washington University</p>

<p>That's all for now. If anyone has a suggestion on a college I should add on my list, please let me know, and you can base it on the three above.</p>

<p>I honestly don't know how to chance you, since you're such an unusual case. Your GPA, which is one of the most important factors in application, is just completely different. I would say get your SAT up, and maybe squeeze in a few more EC's.</p>

<p>Perhaps I should post this in the homeschooled thread?</p>
