<p>I havent applied to any of these schools yet, i just want to set some realistic goals for myself</p>
<p>GPA: 3.7 Weighted GPA: **4.3
**Class Rank: Right around top 25 at a upper level public school in maryland (~400 people in my class) AP Courses at time of application: AP Chemistry, AP Physics, AP Biology, AP Calculus 1 and 2 AP Chem test score - 5 SAT Scores:
680 Math
640 Reading
620 Writing</p>
<p>1940/2400
1320/1600</p>
<p>This was my first time taking it also so the scores should go up</p>
<p>Also got a 800 on the SAT II Subject test in chemistry</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
- Played football all 4 years of high school, varsity football for 2 years
- Math Honor society (3 years)
- Science Honor Society (2 years)
- Volunteered at a soup kitchen
- Voluntereed at a youth weight lifting program where i provided weight training instruction
- National Honor Society (2 years)
- Blood Donor (not sure if this really counts though)
- SGA
- *I applied for an internship at the National Cancer Institute, its called the Werner H. Kirsten Student Intern Program. So for the purposes of this thread lets assume i get it. It involves working full time over the summer and then 3 hours a day during the school year along side a research scientist.</p>
<p>Schools:
-Holy Cross
-University of Rochester
-Carnegie Mellon
-Bates</p>
<p>I would major in chemistry and hopefully go to medical school after graduation</p>
<p>Im appying for other schools as well, but these are the main ones im concerned about</p>
<p>SAT score is definetly going to go up. I pretty much went into my first one without studying much at all. GPA will also come up. Ill get a 4.0 this year and next year. </p>
<p>Also i made a typo in the title, i meant northeastern. Im not sure why i typed western</p>
<p>What would you say is a good SAT/GPA would be for me to aim for?</p>
<p>The SAT 2 Chem score is great, but you should absolutely take the Math 2 not the Math 1. Are you a junior right now? If so that’s a good starting point for your SAT’s, obviously they need to go up but take them again and they will. There’s no way to “aim” for a score, just do the best you can and you’ll get what you get. It seems like you’re on the right track though. =]</p>
<p>I think you have a great chance, you just need more Extra Curriculars.
It’s good that you’re heavily involved in math and sciences in high school, just work on getting those SAT scores up and try to be elected office for one of your clubs. </p>
<p>I’d say in at everything but Carnegie Mellon, but if you do what I said above you should have a great chance.</p>
