<p>I am an Asian male
Unweighted GPA: 4.0
Weighted GPA: 4.44898
I am in the IB program at my school and have taken/will take 4 AP classes too.</p>

<p>Class Rank: 3 in a class of 623 students (I could have a higher class rank, but I chose to take an academy (4 year study focusing on one field) in engineering, in which I learned principles from various engineering fields and some statistics, so I was not able to have a bunch of random AP/IB classes to boost my GPA)</p>

<p>PSAT: 217 (good enough to qualify for national merit in my state)
SAT: 2150
ACT: 36
SAT II:
Math II: 800
Physics:780</p>

<p>ECs:
-I have volunteered and have held leadership positions at my local science center/museum for the past 3 years.
-I am the president of the physics club at my school.
-Vice president of Mu Alpha Theta.
-Took scholar's bowl (called quiz bowl in some places) in sophomore year and will take next year. I was fairly good at this activity.
-Debate team for 2 years. I am not amazing at this in terms of NFL points because I am too busy to go to many tournaments, but I always get good records at tournaments.
-I have presented at technology conferences about the pro/cons of bringing technology into classrooms. My school gives our students iPads, and I was one of 2 students chosen to represent my school at these conferences.
-Math team
-I helped start/play in a youth cricket league in my area. This league has branched out to include 3 teams, and we now play in competitions with other teams throughout the state.
- ~400 hours of community service from various places (mostly from the science center though)</p>

<p>pretty good scores/stats/extracurriculars. but make sure you explain in your essays your passions/how those relate to your major.</p>

<p>btw are you indian?? how did you do north south.</p>

<p>also colleges only look at freshman and later activities really unless they’re really big</p>

<p>UPenn - low reach
MIT - low reach
Stanford - slightly higher reach (just b/c its stanford)</p>

<p>I am Indian. I don’t really understand your question about north south, but I did it by signing up (I guess?). Also, is low reach easier than high reach (I’m kinda new to this forum and don’t fully understand the terms yet)?</p>

<p>It goes in this order from most difficult to least difficult:</p>

<p>High Reach
Reach
Low Reach
High Match
Match
Low Match
Safety</p>

5

<p>UPenn: Lower reach
MIT: Reach
Stanford: Higher Reach</p>

<p>I don’t think you’ll get into Stanford but you sound like a good match for MIT.</p>

6

<p>For a school like MIT or Stanford , would anybody have match or high match? Also, since you said I might be a good match for MIT, is there anything I can do in the 6 months that could increase my chances of admission?</p>

<p>Your ACT score and GPA are great. If there is anything you can do within the next 6 months, it should be writing a good essay and perhaps score another 800 in SAT2.</p>
