<p>I am a high school senior in New Jersey. I am Indian, and moved to America when I was 13 from Singapore.</p>

<p>Academics:
My GPA is about 4.23 weighted.
I took the SATs once and got 2280.
Critical Reading - 680
Math - 800
Writing - 800</p>

<p>I took 2 subject tests: Chemistry (690), Math II (740)</p>

<p>I have taken many honors courses, and took AP Chemistry and AP Psychology in my junior year, and got 4s in both of them. I am taking AP French, Biology, Calc AB, and Stat in my senior year.</p>

<p>ECs:
I was in the band and played trumpet for ten years.
Freshman year: Softball team, School volunteer club, Math team
Soph. year: Softball team, Volunteer Club, French club, Medical Futures club, Psychology club
Junior year: Volunteer club, Secretary for french club, Medical futures club, Psychology club, NHS, Science NHS, French HS</p>

<p>Community service: I worked at a children's camp in the summer in both my freshman and sophomore years, and I have been doing odd jobs in my junior year at the library, the soup kitchen, a few hours at the children's camp etc.</p>

<p>I'm not entirely sure what I want to do with my life yet.</p>

<p>What are my chances at:
1. UPenn: most probably applying early decision, which should give me somewhat of an advantage.
2. Columbia
3. Johns Hopkins University
4. Cornell University
5. Dartmouth
6. Carnegie Mellon
7. Lehigh Uni.
8. Rutgers
9. Tufts</p>

<p>Thanks to everyone!</p>

<p>Try to increase your CR scores, and try to retake (or take new ones) to get your SAT IIs to over 750.</p>

<p>I think Columbia and Dartmouth may be reaches b/c your CR score isn’t high enough and your SAT II scores are not the best. I can’t chance you for Cornell without knowing your class rank since Cornell places a lot of emphasis on grades/GPA. That being said, your ECs and total SAT score are very strong so UPenn ED is probably a match and you should have no major problem getting into the rest of the schools.</p>

<p>definately improve your cr score, and get over 750 on your 2 sat IIs
i would say columbia dartmouth and upenn would be all reaches, (applying ed would make penn a high match).
you should be able to get in the other schools</p>

<p>If you can fix (increase by 60 points each) your subject test scores, Penn ED will be a High Match for you, i.e attainable with an above-average application. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>hey thanks for the reply, but what do you mean by an above-average application? do you mean essay? thanks!</p>
