Chances for any Ivies, Northwestern, UChicago, etc.?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am really set on going to a top university - preferably, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, UPenn, Northwestern, or UChicago. I am also looking at Madison as a back-up option. I go to a pretty difficult all-girls college prep school. I was wondering if any of you could tell me my chances of getting in to any of these schools.</p>

<p>Here are my stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.89 (unweighted)
Class rank: n/a
ACT: 30
SAT I: 1950
SAT II: Math I - 790, Literature - 670
APs: American Gov - 5, USHistory - 5</p>

<p>ECs
Published work for science project
1st at State Science Fair, various other science project awards
NHS member
Founder and president of Teenage Republicans club (all four years)
FBLA 1st at Regionals, State Qualifier
Sophomore English Student of the Year
Student Congress (all four years)
School newspaper journalist (sophomore-senior year)
Robotics team (junior and senior year)
Concertmistress for school orchestra (all four years)</p>

<p>Service
Volunteer tutor at local elementary school one hour/week for 24 weeks (junior and senior year)
Volunteer at soccer program for disabled children one hour/week for 16 weeks (sophomore, junior, and senior year)
(hopefully) volunteer at Children's Hospital for six hours/week (senior year)</p>

<p>Work
Intern at Mitt Romney for President 20 hours/week for 20 weeks</p>

<p>I am taking eight additional AP exams this year, two for which I am taking classes. I have taken most honors/AP classes as possible. I received two B+s in honors math courses, and one B+ in an extremely difficult English class.</p>

<p>I am passionate about science and will be graduating with seven science credits, even though only three are required. I participated in an independent science research class last year, and now from that, I have work published in the Journal of Immunology. I am continuing my project this year.</p>

<p>I also thoroughly enjoy writing and English. As I previously listed, I won the Sophomore English Student of the Year, and I have done considerably well with even the most challenging professors.</p>

<p>I am Hispanic and a first-generation college student from a lower-middle class household.</p>

<p>So do I have a chance at these schools? I would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks!</p>

<p>You are hispanic and well-involved. However, I suggest that you work to get your SAT up to at least a 2100. I think you have a good chance at Cornell if you get the SAT up. I suggest you try to focus on your passion for your major and then move on from there to pick a program at the university. You have chances at all, but there are all still reaches to high reaches.</p>

<p>Chance me?

<p>Scores are a little weak for the ivies
and it doesnt seem as though you took too many rigorous classes (2 aps?)</p>

<p>your ec’s are great, but they are pretty much all high reaches. id retake the sat and act in the fall and choose your favorite and apply ED</p>

<p>You may be a match for Madison, but reach for everything else on the list.</p>
