<p>I've logged over 375 hours of community service as well as work as a tutor at my school.</p>

<p>I know my recommendations were good. I used my history teacher from last year who said I was the hardest working student he's ever had, and I used my three-year science teacher. I think my essays were pretty good as well. They were solid.</p>

<p>So what do you think my chances are for these schools?</p>

<p>How many APs does your school offer? Is yours the hardest schedule possible?</p>

3

<p>The only AP classes I haven’t taken at my school are APUSH and the online AP classes my school offers. I actually signed up for APUSH and some other online APs, but because of scheduling conflicts, I couldn’t take them. I did note that in my application.</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing me!</p>

<p>I think you have excellent chances to all your schools. Many of them are matches. It is always difficult to predict the outcome of applying to Princeton and Harvard, but I would say you have very good chances anyway! Good luck :)</p>

<p>Since your school doesn’t offer many AP classes, I think they’ll consider you more carefully. Your EC’s are really good and receiving an A in every class with definitely make your transcript stand out. Overall, I think you’re borderline on many of the colleges you listsed, but you’ll get into an amazing college no matter what. Goodluck!</p>

<p>I am also wondering about Virginia.</p>

<p>Bump.</p>

<p>You’re in.</p>

<p>

I can’t imagine anyone pursuing all four of those things at once. If you want flexibility though, Rochester and Brown would be your best bets.</p>

<p>Well, I’m doing pre-law without doing pre-law, if that makes any sense. I’m going to go to law school after I get my undergraduate degree. So, in reality, an English and natural science double major with a possible Latin minor.</p>

<p>HYP etc are so unpredictable, but you have as good a chance as anyone. It’s hard to see how your application could be improved.</p>
