Chances for Ivys

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey everyone I'm looking to apply to Princeton, Columbia, Harvard and maybe Brown. Please chance meeeee!</p>

<p>My Info:
I am a white female from Michigan</p>

<p>GPA: 3.998 unweighted (my school does not weight)</p>

<p>My school does not class rank either</p>

<p>I take the most rigorous classes possible (at my school AP's are not available until junior year)
I am currently taking:
French 4 AC (AC=honors)
American Studies AC
English 11 AP
Chemistry AP (includes a lab period and a lecture period)
Psychology
Math Analysis AC</p>

<p>I plan on taking these next year:
Physics AP
Government AP
Philosophy
English 12 AP
Calculus AB
French 5 AP</p>

<p>My extracurriculars:
3 seasons of Rowing (freshman and half of sophomore year)
One season (I have been skiing since age 3) on my school's newly established ski racing team (i'm coming back next year)
I teach Sunday school for 4-5 year olds at my church (I am also involved in vacation bible school over the summer)
I am an active member of NHS and Key club
I am a three year member and treasurer of French Club (hopefully president or VP next year)
I volunteer regularly at the soup kitchen through my church
I am looking into starting a club to volunteer at the local animal shelter</p>

<p>my extracurriculars are a bit scattered but I plan on marketing myself as a well rounded individual haha</p>

<p>My test scores:
I have only taken each test once (i plan on testing again) and i did not prepare for either (it was intentional, I was setting a benchmark score)</p>

<p>ACT: 30 ( i can probably raise it 2 or 3 points)
SAT: 1910 (I know I can get it up to at least 2100)</p>

<p>So how do I look? Any help is greatly appreciated</p>

<p>With your SAT and ACT scores as they are now, reach for all. But honestly, almost half of them, HYP, are going to be reaches no matter what your stats are, as well as Penn if you’re going for Wharton. And Columbia is pretty reachy for almost everyone too. With acceptance rates from 6-15% or so, luck is too involved for a legitimate assessment.</p>

<p>High reaches for all considering your current scores</p>

5

<p>Reaches for all. The applicants to all those schools have the same, if not better application. You also don’t have anything to set you apart. Raise the SAT and do something significant. That can’t hurt your chances.</p>

<p>Yes all ivies are most likely a reach for you, but if you increase your test scores, who knows what could happen. Really focus on one of your extracurricular(while doing the others), and try to be as exceptional as you can be in that one. Well roundedness is nice, but they also like to see depth and passion in a few activities. Good Luck!</p>
