<p>When you are looking at schools in the caliber of IVYS, this is what they want:
SAT scores: 1560 is good enough
Gpa 3.99 is good enough
Ecs not spectacular, and that is what sets you apart, truthfully yor ECs are not IVY league cliber.
Last but not least most IVY caliber schools are looking for atleast 5 APs with 5s, If you have these your ECs may be forgiven. Lets not even talk about subject tests.</p>
<p>Here is the silver lining, You will be a great candidate for Vanderbilt, Rice, Notredame, Emory and Georgetown. Some of them like Vanderbilt might offer you full tuition scholarship. Look into these schools.</p>
<p>your specs (except extra curriculars) look similar to what mine were.
2300 ~ 2310
4.5 ~ 4.46</p>
<p>make certain to take Math II SAT subject test. and a science. and get 750+ on both. </p>
<p>like the person above said, not particularly strong extracurricular things. have done anything interesting in your proposed field? it’s okay if not, though, I didn’t really. </p>
<p>with (2310, 4.46, 3.97) and my extracurricular activities I was accepted:
Cornell
CMU
UT (full scholarship)
A&M (full scholarship)</p>
<p>Rejected:
Princeton
MIT
Stanford
Rice</p>
<p>Just to give you an idea, since our specs are similar. And LOL I remember the National Latin Exam. nostalgia attack.</p>
<p>yeah im also taking AP Calc AB, AP gov, AP LA, APbio tests this year, and AP physics, AP calc BC, AP micro econ, AP latin, and AP LA next year
what extracurriculars did you have?</p>
<p>also, history is my worst subject, so i expect more 5s on my upcoming APs. and i plan to take mathII, latin and one other subject test. suggestions? i was thinking biology, or lit</p>
