<p>What is your rank?</p>

<p>Does your school offer calc BC? AB will look like a weak effort at Wharton. Hopefully you’ll go beyond senior year?</p>

<p>Wharton will be tough. UMich yes, pre admit probably not. Vandy/Emory probably. The others are reaches.</p>

4

<p>No my school doesnt offer BC which sucks but whatever.</p>

5

<p>Do you live in Michigan? If yes, you will most likely be pre-admitted to ross</p>

6

<p>No im actually in Ohio. Oh and these are my AP scores so far:</p>

<p>US History - 5
Chemistry - 3
Environmental Science - 3</p>

7

<p>Most likely acceptance at Vanderbilt and Emory</p>

8

<p>anyone else??</p>

9

<p>Double hook in first generation college & URM, + excellent GPA & ECs.</p>

<p>All other things being equal, Wharton is the only reach.</p>

<p>Are you retaking the ACT/SAT? A strong showing would help your chances a lot.</p>

10

<p>South east asians (which country are you from exactly since an ur country might help slightly but not much) are not an under-represented minority and First generation status only helps at certain elite colleges.</p>

<p>UPenn Wharton: The sibling legacy will be a slight boost. I know this for sure since I’ve asked about it (at a peer school). That said, without a 33+ ACT score it’ll be unlikely. Ask your counselor to make it clear in the report that your school doesn’t offer Calc BC.
UMich Ross Pre Admit: In but Ross Pre-admit, probably not.
UChicago: Contingent on 32+ ACT and Essays
Northwestern: Good chance imo.
Vanderbilt: In
Emory: In
WashU: In
Duke: Unlikely without a 33+ ACT score.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

11

<p>My class rank is 1/450 and by South East Asia, i mean my family is from Bangladesh but im not sure if im supposed to specify on the app.</p>

12

<p>Not sure how much the sibling legacy will help, but your ACT is probably on the low side</p>

13

<p>ACT are lows as are the AP scores…</p>
