<p>Hey guys. I've been religiously reading this forum for any input I could get for myself but I have finally realized that my attributes are unique. I would appreciate it greatly if anyone could give me some realistic advice. I have talked to two guidance officers in my school and both of them have said completley opposite things. My parents are convinced I should apply to every Ivy, but I believe that could just be a waste. Anyway, here I am on paper...</p>
<p>American Male
Attend one of the best public schools in New Hampshire
GPA UW: 3.85</p>
<p>Freshman Courses: Advanced Writing, Geometry, Latin 1, Psychology, and required science and humanities courses.</p>
<p>Sophmore Courses: Algebra II, Chemistry, Latin II, and required science and humanities courses.</p>
<p>Junior Courses: Pre-Calculus, Physics, Latin III, AP European History, and required humanities course.</p>
<p>Plan for Senior Year (expect to get all As) AP Calculus, AP Physics, AP Literary and Comprehension, World Religions, Art 1 (need it for state requirment), and required humanities course.</p>
<p>Total APs: 4
School does not have honors classes (I know, it's weird)</p>
<p>SATs: Took them once in 7th grade, and once in 9th. I will be taking them this year (11th) and expect to get 700-750 in each subject.</p>
<p>As far as ECs go...

If I get in, will take an extensive 6 week course on Astronomy, taught at St. Pauls school, arguably one of the best high schools in the nation.
Also, additional community service throughout the rest of junior and senior year</p>
<p>Colleges I am looking into: Ivys, NYU, Duke, Stanford, U Chicago, U Michigan, U Wisconsin, Berkeley, USC, Tulane, Northwestern</p>
<p>Colleges I feel I have a very good shot at: Syracuse, Villanova, BU, UNH</p>
<p>Anyway, thats it. If there is something I need to clarify please let me know. I know I cannot express myself or my transcript from this alone, but any input into my odds of getting into these colleges (or similar ones) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.</p>
