chances at tufts, brown, others

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey, i am currently a hs junior & starting to think seriously about the whole admissions process… so, that’s where this board comes in. What do you all think my chances are at the following schools:
tufts
brown
cornell
northwestern
swarthmore
U. maryland- college park
-can you recommend any mid-sized, northeastern or midatlantic schools that would be matches?</p>

<p>STATS
-public school
-gpa: 4.0 unweighted, 5.4 weighted (out of 6)
-9/250+ (top 5%)
-800v, 740m on old SATs, new SAT scores pending
-800 SATII writing, will take bio, US history, and math2 in may
-228 on PSATs, so should be semi-finalist
-4 APs this year, 4 more senior year (i think), lots of honors classes
-major: biology</p>

<p>ECs- ehh not so good
-student gov't (10, 11-exec board)
-latin club (9, 10-secretary, 11-president)
-class planning committee (11)
-literary magazine staff (11)
-NHS (10,11)
-art honor society (11)
-key club (10, 11)
-orchestra (9)
-ceramics classes outside of school (9-11)
-summer after 9th: camp counselor, summer after 10th: NYLF med, this summer will work in a lab
-all of the activities that are for 11th will continue senior yr</p>

<p>hmm i think thats about it.. the weak points are my ECs, and i only have 3 years of a foreign language (latin), but thats because the school doesn't offer past III. </p>

<p>Alright guys, what do you think?
Thanks</p>

<p>I'm curious, how do you get a 5.4 GPA?
Perhaps, for your foreign language, you could take up another one. I'm taking Spanish III and Japanese I <-- mostly because I just moved there.</p>

3

<p>Amherst, Dartmouth, Williams, Haverford, Wesleyan and Vassar -- if you want to look outside the Northeast & mid-Atlantic, look also at Duke, Emory, WUSTL, Carleton, Rice and CMU.</p>

4

<p>petralee, 5.4 gpa is out of 6, where AP and GT classes=6, honors=5, and standard=4.
Thanks for the list collegeparent, i will look into those</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>
