<p>I would like to know what my chances are at the following schools and any other schools I should look at are greatly appreciated. The schools I am looking at are: University of Virginia (I know massive reach), Villanova (Probably apply EA), Boston College, Indiana University-Bloomington, Penn State, and I will probably apply to University of Michigan, University of Texas-Austin and UNC for the heck of it. Oh and my parents are making me apply to CMU.</p>
<p>Basic Info:
White Male from small town outside of Pittsburgh. 1st Generation College Student
Public School. Current Junior. (Don't know if it helps but my school rarely has people apply to top schools, the best people usually goes to University of Pitt with about one or two every year going to CMU).</p>
<p>Rankings:
QPA: Weighted-4.1, UW~3.7-3.8
I'm currently 3/190 but will probably graduate 2nd.</p>
<p>Classes:
Senior year I will be in:
AP Calc II ... My school actually had to create this class for me.
AP English
Physics II - Self-study and will take AP Test
French III
AP Chem
Psych/Econ
Hardest schedule offered</p>
<p>Have also taken AP US History and AP Calc AB w/ some BC material</p>
<p>My school does not offer many AP classes and I am taking everyone possible except for AP Bio, I took Physics instead.</p>
<p>SATs:
My big downfall.
Math-690, CR-610, Writing-610
I plan on studying like crazy for these and the Math IIC, Physics and Literature tests. What score I expect on getting are: Math~750, CR~650-700, Writing~650-700.</p>
<p>Others:
I'm taking Calc I for college credits from University of Pitt and will do the same next year with Calc II. I might also take a class in Economics at a local college for fun in addition to my summer job.</p>
<p>I'm involved in French Club, TFIM (student career exploration program), Guitar Club (Vice-Pres), school academic competition team, golf team, Boy Scouts (Eagle pending), History Club, Junior Engineering Technical Society and I created a stock-market competition to be held at our school for about 15 high schools in the area. Senior year I will be in the NHS. I have also accumulated around 85 service hours (will have more by graduation). I am also a frequent competitor in martial arts competitions. I am also an alter server at a Roman Catholic church (hopefully will help with Villanova).</p>
<p>I'm very confident in my essays and teacher recs. One of mine will be from my JETS coach who was the mascot for Villanova and the val. three years ago.</p>
<p>My top choices are Villanova, UVA, & Boston College but I realized that UVA will be a major, major reach, so I started looking at IU which is hopefully a safety.</p>
