<p>Hi, sorry for the longish title but these are only schools I am looking into as of now.</p>

<p>SAT 1: 2370
SAT 2: 800 Math 2, 790 Bio M
ACT: 33 (Won't send)</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 UW, 4.74 W</p>

<p>APs: USH, Bio, Chem, Stats, Language, Literature, Calc AB, Calc BC, World History, Computer Science (All 5s)</p>

<p>No Awards :(</p>

<p>ECs: Cross Country 4 Years, Varsity Golf 4 Years, President of Medical Club, Key Club Member, Cofounder of Ulimate Frisbee Club</p>

<p>Job Experience: 100+ Volunteer Hours</p>

<p>My recommendations are also very strong!
My essay, I felt was only subpar though...</p>

<pre><code> Thanks in advance!

<p>your welcome in advance</p>

<p>I think you’ll definitely make it to UCLA, NYU and Cornell. As for the others, you will at least be deferred.</p>

4

<p>what kind/s of volunteering do you have? if you really want to pursue a career in medicine then you should try BS/MDs</p>

5

<p>Well, you should be in at NYU, UCLA and very likely Cornell. It’s rolling the dice territory on the remaining schools, as they get so, so many solid to amazing apps.</p>

<p>Essays do play a strong part in admissions reps figuring out if you’re a fit for their overall class, so hoping that they’re not as “subpar” as you say. And a bit more leadership would’ve been good to see beyond the one item you listed.</p>

<p>Volunteer hours are good, but hopefully they’re in interesting areas that will peak admiss reps interest.</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins would’ve been good choice too given that you’re apparently choosing a pre-med path.</p>

<p>Did you apply anywhere ED or EA, and what were the results?</p>

6

<p>won’t be surprised if you get in to Stanford, Yale, and cornell; won’t be surprised if you don’t. but i think you will just looking at your academic stats</p>

<p>what do you mean these are the only schools you’re looking into as of now…I mean everyone needs safety schools!</p>

<p>Essays are pretty subjective. Did it show something about your personality that colleges can use to get to know you better?</p>

<p>UCLA: Match
NYU: Match
Cornell: High Match
Stanford: Reach
Columbia: Reach
Yale: Reach</p>

<p>Why wouldn’t you send a 33 ACT? It’s still 99th percentile</p>

8

<p>UCLA and NYU: Match
Rest: Low reach - Reach
Good luck!</p>

<p>Chance back?

<p>“ACT: 33 (Won’t send)”</p>

<p>You must send all scores to both Stanford and Yale. They require full testing disclosure. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with a 33 ACT.</p>

<p>Can’t you come up with a better idea than NYU given what it costs to attend?</p>

10

<p>I’m very interested in NYU too, despite the really high costs. College in NYC just seems like a completely different experience, ya know?</p>

<p>But @OP, you are a Low Match for UCLA and NYU. :)</p>

<p>Cornell and Columbia are High Match-Low Reaches.</p>

<p>And as almost always, Stanford & Yale you can never be sure of. So put 'em ad Mid Reaches.</p>
