<p>I am thinking about applying to Cornell, UVA, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, George Washington, and NC State</p>

<p>Total Honors: 10
Total AP's: 5</p>

<p>I plan on getting 22 A's and 3 B's throughout high school.</p>

<p>GPA: Unweighted - college style 4.0 max - Weighted</p>

<p>-Freshman : 3.86 3.96 4.14 6 A's 1B
-Sophomore: 3.83 3.95 4.33 5 A's 1B
-Junior: 3.83 3.95 5.0 5A's 1B
-Senior (projected): 4.0 4.0 5.5 6A's</p>

<p>Overall (after junior year): 3.84 3.95 4.47
Overall (projected Senior year): 3.88 3.96 4.72 </p>

<p>I plan on applying early</p>

<p>Probably top 10%-15% of class (of 340)</p>

<p>SAT: Based off of my practice tests, I think a 2100 is realistic.
ACT: Haven't taken it yet</p>

<p>EC's:
-33 hours of volunteering (I will have at least 100 by the time I submit my application).
-COO and President of the consumer goods sector of the research committee on the stock market club
-Wrestling: 3-year varsity letter, 3-time All-conference, 3-time all-region, 2-year team captain
-Scholar athlete award (highest GPA on wrestling team)
-Spanish 3 National Spanish Exam honorable mention
-AMC8 (math test) national honor roll. But I don't know if I can use that, it was in 8th grade.</p>

<p>Additional:
-White
-$60,000 yearly household income
-I think my essays should be exceptional
-My recommendations should be above average, but not spectacular
-I have no doubt that I can ace the interview</p>

<p>I live in NC</p>

<p>I don’t know about the other schools, but Cornell seems like a high reach. Your grades are pretty good but it might’ve been nice to see more AP classes. Your ECs are okay but your athletics stuff looks really good. I think if you keep your grades up and get a decent SAT score, you’re probably bound to get into at least two or three of those schools, although Cornell and Carnegie Mellon are less likely.</p>

<p>Your statistics are good and so are your ECs. You should continue that and receive 2100+ on the SAT. After that, you should have a very good chance at all the schools excluding Cornell and Carnegie Mellon - and a good chance at those two. </p>

<p>UVA, Georgia Tech, and NC State should be no problem! Not familiar with admissions requirements for other schools…good luck!</p>

<p>Cornell and Carnegie are far reaches. 100 hours of community service aren’t much. Take more AP classes and fatten your EC resume. I don’t need a chance back since I’m already accepted to my dream school :slight_smile: good luck!</p>

<p>Good luck! Seems great to me! You just might want to get a few more service hours! It’s not too hard, over the summer you could work at a shelter or something and get 100 hours easily(: or after school(:</p>
