<p>I would really appreciate if some people could give me an objective idea of what my chances are for the following list of schools:</p>
<p>Harvard
Princeton
Columbia
Yale
Stanford
University of Chicago
Johns Hopkins
UC - Berkeley
University of Michigan
NYU
University of Miami</p>
<p>I am interested in the Neural Sciences and Psychology.</p>
<p>SAT: Haven't Taken
ACT: 34, (35R, 34E, 33M, 34S) Taken one time
Unweighted GPA: 3.93
Rank: My school doesn't but in top 5% I know for sure
Class Schedule Senior Year: IB2 History, IB2 English, IB2 Spanish, IB2 Math SL, IB2 Physics, IB2 Chemistry, IB2 Economics</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
-Taken two classes dual-enroll, for college credit, at a local University (Psychology and Biology courses)
-Research with my psychology professor in the summer (co-authored a paper that has been submitted for publishing)
-I.C.U. volunteer <200 hours
-Board Member of non-profit organization that raises over $15,000 a year for cancer research and special needs charities.

-Work at a Medical Supplies Company as a salesmen (in summer), and delivery-man (during school)
-On an unrelated note I compete in a lot of triathlons and have received first place in my age group a couple times in some, this isn't something that I would put on a resume but I might write about it in an essay.</p>
<p>Recommendations:
-My physics teacher and I have a very interesting relationship and i suspect his rec will be very good.
-My counselor and I also love each other and she is going to write about how I have been a student ambassador, big brother to three freshman, mentor, and a bunch of other things involving creating a closer community in the school.
-My additional rec will be my psychology professor who has told me that I was the best student in the class I took with him (I was the only high school student in it).</p>
<p>I'm a white, middle-class male :/
I don't have any real hooks other than that my high school is considered very rigorous and is nationally and internationally ranked. (In top 15 for the last five or six years nationally).</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for the advice I really appreciate it as I don't really know much about how and why colleges grant acceptance.</p>
