Chances for USC, Brandeis, etc

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello there!</p>

<p>I was wondering what my chances would be to get into Brandeis, University of Southern California, Johns Hopkins, University of California Los Angeles, Dartmouth (Dream school) , Rice, and University of Rochester. </p>

<p>My Stats are:
-3.34 GPA which is broken down into [3.11, 3.24, 3.60, 3.76]. The 3.76 is first quarter senior year, it can still improve.  I'm counting on the upward trend to help, but I'm not sure how much it will.
-2020 SAT.  I can still retake it in January, but I will only do so if it will drastically improve my chances to get into any of the above colleges.
-700 Biology SAT II’s and 720 Chemistry SAT II’s.
-4 in AP Biology and 5 in AP Chemistry. I’m planning on taking 3 more AP’s before the end of high school because I’m in 3 AP’s this year.
-My school doesn’t weigh GPA’s, doesn’t have a class rank, and doesn’t have valedictorians.  Would this hurt me?
-Ranked 6th at Regional's Figure Skating Competition and am currently on a national champion figure skating team which will be performing in Ice Chips, will be part of the Evening with Champions, and will compete in France.
-Editor-in-chief of the school magazine which I started due to the lack of a student voice in the other school publications
-Team leader/ facilitator in the drug prevention program in our city
-Peer tutor in the sciences</p>

<p>Do you think all these colleges are too high / should I look at less good colleges? </p>

<p>Any input is helpful input!
Thanks!</p>

<p>i think that the gpa could hurt but it depends on ur class/workload…ur SAT is pretty good but to get into the ivies, youll need 2200+ to make up for the GPA…but all of ur colleges are quite competitive i’d say…a couple safety/targets wouldnt hurt…maybe something like boston university or something</p>

<p>I think USC is a match. While your GPA is low, the upward trend will help. I think retaking your SATs will definitely help if you think you can get above a 2100. Your ECs are impressive though.
JHop is a reach, along with Dartmouth.
UCLA would also be a match.
URoch low match.
Rice low reach</p>
