<p>SAT: 2200 (750 CR, 700 M, 750 WR; 11 essay).
UWGPA: 3.95 WGPA: 4.61
SAT II: Bio M-780. Will take Lit and either Math II or Chem this year.
AP Classes: Bio (5), U.S. Government (5).
This year I'm taking Calc BC, English Language & Composition, Psychology, and I will self study Environmental science. Senior year I'll be taking Statistics, Chem, and English Lit.
Top 5% in class of ~500 at a typical public school. No IB, a lot of AP's offered but not the best/many teachers.
EC's:
Captain of quiz bowl, officer of environmental club, creative writing club/lit mag, physiology club, UNICEF chapter, NHS, Science NHS, Mu Alpha Theta, 100+ hours of tutoring third graders in English at saturday school.
I hope to volunteer at a hospital, laboratory or animal shelter this summer (or all three!), but I was not able to be more involved in years prior due to some kinda personal issues :/</p>

<p>I'm a junior in high school right now, so yeahh I know this is pretty early. Anyway, how do you think I'm doing? My first choice is Georgetown university, has been for many years... wherever i go I intend to double major in biology and english.
Here's my full college list: </p>

NYU CAS
UMD- college park
Vanderbilt*
Tufts*
Northeastern
Boston College
Fordham- Rose Hill

<p>Thanks @Catria ! Just curious, what do you mean by “if biology really eases the process”?</p>

4

<p>Georgetown has once been a school where STEM majors had an admissions advantage (Georgetown’s greatest strengths lie in social sciences, especially history and political science, with STEM disciplines being weak in comparison) but I wonder whether that advantage still remains.</p>

<p>Anyway, Georgetown is reachable.</p>

5

<p>You got a GOOD GPA AND A GOOD SAT along with GOOD ECs. I hope that you have wonderful essays too. If so, then, I kinda disagree with Catria. If you apply for early decision for a good school on the list, like UCLA, you got an 80% chance for it. MARK MY WORDS. You got a great application. I may even suggest that you should apply for one of the Ivies too, like maybe UPenn or Dartmouth (Not Cornell, thats mine)</p>

<p>bump?</p>

<p>Haha our schools are very similar! We should keep in touch in case we end up at the same place :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I think your grades and scores are fine. Make sure to keep up your GPA and take the most challenging courses available to you and I think you should be more than fine for most of the schools you listed. The one issue I might consider is your ECs because they are a bit scattered. Make sure you use your teachers recs, interviews, and essays to demonstrate your passion. While colleges do appreciate someone who is good at everything they want to know what you will bring to their school if they admit you, so make sure your application answers that question. Best of luck!
