<p>You're lacking in extracurriculars, but you are strong in math and science. Columbia and UPenn, brown, I think you'll get into at least one of those 3. Rest I think you're in</p>

3

<p>Great! Anyone else?
BTW: Forgot to add JV Tennis (3 yrs) to the list. Nothing big but it should be there I suppose.</p>

4

<p>Columbia, UPenn for premed? shouldn;t you be considering schools like duke and brown instead?</p>

5

<p>Brown's on there and I hate NC...
Already applied so it doesn't matter now, just want chances on the schools I listed. Besides, Columbia and UPenn have great pre-med progs.</p>

6

<p>Come on...anybody else? I'd like a second opinion at least.</p>

<p>penn columbi and brown(plme) may be difficult. but you could get into brown(regular) and the rest of the schools.
and yes, penn has a great pre-med program</p>

9

<p>hmm, I think that Penn and Columbia might be a reach, but you never know. It also probably depends a lot on your personal high school situation (aka how many students do these universities usually take from your school). Good luck though!</p>

<p>Thanks! I attend an extremely competitive public high school. Sends quite a few to Ivies each year. Last year, we had four go to Princeton alone. I'm not sure how many applied to the same schools as I did this year, but I would assume quite a few. </p>

<p>BTW: Forgot to add the standard AP Scholar, NMSQT semi, and NHS. Plus I take Latin and have two gold medals from the National Latin Exams.</p>

<p>One last thing; since I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting to include quite a few activities (gave them a 5 page resume), can you guys emphasize what it is that's missing. I may either have those things or, if I don't, I'd be curious to know what's going to hold me back from my top choice schools...</p>
