<p>Hi, just asking anyone out there if they can tell me my chances of getting into these colleges (which are my super-reaches) with my credentials:</p>
<p>-I live in Providence, RI, I'm Chinese (adopted) and attend a very reputable private school. Class size of about 360? College graduation year- 2014. I wrote my college essay about being Asian technically but growing up with identity issues.
-I come from a middle income family, legacy at Brown (but don't plan on applying there), but nowhere else.
-My intended major changes a lot, but probably something along the lines of International Health/Public Health (I want to work with Doctors without Borders).
-No class rank, but I'm most likely in the top 10%.
-I don't know the GPA on a 4.0 scale, but unweighted 92, weighted 100.
-SAT I (CR 640, Math 700, Writing 690. 1340 composite, 2030 total)
-SAT II (Math II 670, Chemistry 680, Spanish [reading only] 720). Took them again in November, waiting on results (Math I, Math II, Literature).
-AP Exams (Chemistry 4, English Language 4, Spanish Language 4)
-Currently enrolled in: AP Calculus BC, AP Physics B, AP English Literature & Composition, AP United States Government & Politics, AP Computer Science A.
-Varsity Cheerleading, Varsity Track, JV Tennis.
-Bunches of Extracurriculars that include National Honor Society, National Spanish Honor Society, Chorus, Student Ambassadors, Computer Club, Robotics FIRST, Tutoring, Math League, American Computer Science League, Calculus League, Mandarin Club and probably more that I can't remember right now.
-Also enrolled in Chinese at the sophomore level at Bryant University, 4.0 GPA so far.</p>
<p>Are you taking the SAT I again? If not, I wouldn’t worry about it. Anyway, the ECs look good. Nothing that particularly jumps out but that’s ok as long as you can show that you’re passionate about them</p>
<p>JHU and Georgetown are reaches. Emory and McGill might be low reaches/high matches, and I’d say BC and GW are your low matches.</p>
<p>Thanks!! I’m not taking the SAT again . . . honestly, I’m a terrible test-taker and it was the 2nd time I took it, even having taken a prep class.
Thanks again!!</p>
<p>don’t really know your chances for the other schools, but I got into McGill three years ago, with a way worse SAT (1690 total) though my ACT was a 29, and about the same GPA / extra-curriculars. </p>
<p>for McGill it really depends on what Faculty you applied to and what the average is for that year Arts generally requires lower scores, science a bit higher, education and engineering are the easiest to get into and management (their business school) is the hardest.</p>
<p>I’d say Johns Hopkins is you’re major reach, they’ve gotten really tough, but still apply…I don’t know enough to really say anything about Emory or McGill, but Georgetown’s probably more of reach also, BC a lower reach/higher match, and GW you’ll most likely be in! Do you have leadership roles in all those extracurrics? That’d help you out a TON, otherwise you’re curriculum looks really good, especially the Chinese at Bryant!
Good luck :)</p>
