<p>Very good chances at Harvard and Yale (apply restricted early action if you can for boost) and probably in at UVA definitely in at va trch</p>

3

<p>That Urm will help</p>

4

<p>You’re in.</p>

5

<p>Agree with the last post - you will have no problem. I would say very high probability of Harvard or Yale and definitely in at UVA and VT. I assume good essays and an interesting back story given your ECs and academics.</p>

6

<p>As sonic care said, the URM will definitely help. Considering that status your stats seem on par or a little above average in that category. Try to make your essays portray your individual voice and you have a very strong likelihood of getting in.</p>

<p>thanks guys this is making me feel a lot better :slight_smile: I actually reside in VA so Tech was like my safety. I was worried however about my extracurriculars. I haven’t done one sport or specific activity for all four years and I thought that was like a minimum to get accepted into any ivy.</p>

8

<p>How can a rising junior have these stats? It’s not wise to predict your performance on the toughest and most important year of highschool.</p>

9

<p>You’re black, you’re in</p>

10

<p>URM or not, you have amazing chances OP. </p>

<p>FeganMox, what a disrespectful comment</p>

11

<p>Hahaha feganmox you are a hater!you would have a good shoot even if you were not a URM but anyway you have amazing stats your URM status is a definitely a plus!good luck!</p>

12

<p>Well, to make it short, I believe you’re in at all of the mentioned uni’s. Your URM status will help a lot, but, more importantly, you are worthy of these regardless of your race! Keep it up bro! Chance me back please: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1380168-chance-me-mit-caltech-ill-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1380168-chance-me-mit-caltech-ill-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

13

<p>keep your grades up senior year. another thing: what do you plan to study? It would help if you had a certain direction that you are leaning towards. Science? Humanities?</p>

14

<p>For majors i’ve consider political science, English or lit, or something mathematics related.</p>

15

<p>Also i included my schedules from all four years for a reason. If you look at my freshman year i was in pretty easy classes. Notably Algebra 1 part 1 (the lowest possible math you can take at my school), but then I took a total of three online classes (Geometry, Chemistry, and Algebra 2) all on my own without guidance counselor or parent making me take them. I took those classes so I could advance my studies and take more APs and basically earn more credits for my diploma. Is there anyway I could express that in my application?</p>

16

<p>Well deserved admit for sure (or at least as sure as you can be with schools that competitive. But I’d be confident if I were you)</p>

17

<p>You have amazing stats and should be proud. You will be fine for your applications.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

18

<p>From your other posts you state you have not even taken the PSAT just a sample test.</p>

<p>You have not even started studying for the SAT according to your post last week where you
you state you are aiming to get 2000 on your SATs. Now suddenly, you claim you have a score of 2350.</p>

<p>In a post last month your weighted GPA is 3.97 now it has gone up to 4.4. </p>

<p>You are essentially making up all your stats and want us to give feedback on a totally hypothetical scenario.</p>

19

<p>Owned.
Ha! GAYYYYY!</p>

20

<p>I would think you are already in, but like all Ivys, there selectivity Is so random. You could have a twin with everything the same or even lower stats and they could get in and not you. Just hope you get lucky on that day.</p>
