I think the first 3 will be tough, but the rest should be attainable. Honestly, a lot of your stats/ECs depend on how competitive your high school is-- your ECs and GPA would be expected at a school where you are easily among the top, but outstanding for a school that is very competitive. Overall though, I think you have a good shot at many of the colleges you listed.

Reaches, as they are for most anyone, Yale and Stanford. Slight Reach Brown. Solid for everywhere else.

I think you have a good chance in all schools except the Ivys and Stanford. Your ECs are pretty impressive, and they will set you apart from other applicants. Just make sure they tour personal statement is decently good and you’ll be fine. Stanford is known for its seemingly random selections of students; you just never know. Good luck!

You have a good shot but eliminate some ec’s and put the ones you most contribute to and have done the longest. they want leadership and dedication so have a handful of clubs where you’re most involved in and mention the others here and there. Usually students take too many clubs just for the sake of being more appealing and admission office can be a bit suspicious about it. But you’re doing fine!

I think that you have a fair chance at Tufts, Wesleyan, Georgetown also. I would say the others are low reaches. Good luck!

You have a great shot at most of these schools, besides the ivies (remember, they’re reaches for everyone!)

I would suggest you self study APs next year, since I assume yourself studied Spanish thereby demonstrating you’re capable of it.

Excellent ECs and SAT scores. I will be surprised if you don’t get into most of them!

Yale University: Reach
Stanford University: Reach
Brown University: Reach
Wesleyan University: Match
Georgetown University: Match
Pomona College: Match
Tufts University: Match

Oh, and also, it would be best if you had a concentration/passion on a few ECs or activities rather than a jumble of them.

Yale and Stanford are reaches. Brown is barely a reach, and I think you’re in good shape for the others.

You have incredibly strong chances at all schools being a published writer and athlete AND trilingual. Wow. Only true reaches are Stanford and Yale. The rest are very low reaches to him matches.

Also, I recommend applying to Princeton. Its a reach of course but considering you’re upper class you’d fit the average student

the first 3 reaches

match for all but yale, stanford and brown

I agree with the majority of commenters that all are matches but the first three, but you definitely have a chance at the other three

Assuming you are student BODY president (which would be pretty nice)…

I think high match/low reach for all but Stanford, Yale, (maybe) Brown. Translation: pretty good chances at getting into a couple of your dream schools from my perspective. Do retake the SAT and try to score 2300+. Try to secure a leadership position or two more from your clubs. And I personally don’t support your idea of creating a Model UN team (hard to do, plus it looks like you’re trying to fill up your app since you waited until senior year to do so) - unless you love international relations and Model UN, then of course go for it and do what you love. that’s the thing, never let anything stop you from doing what you love (ok, I’ll stop, this is getting cheesy). Good luck!

I think you have a great shot at getting into all of those schools. Your test scores, GPA, and extracurriculars are strong. I did Tufts Summit last summer and very much enjoyed it. PM if you have any questions about it :slight_smile:

Thank you!! I’m really interested in Tufts Summit but I don’t hear back from them until April… I would love to hear more about it, will PM you right now.

@whiterwalt7 I am student body president, appreciate your advice!! I’ll chance you back right now :slight_smile:

You can get into all three except for Brown, Yale and Stanford. Only because they are ivy leagues and unpredictable. Your numbers are amazing but you should focus more on your EC’s and you as a person. I see you want to major in international relations so maybe take out the sports for EC’s and keep the rest to really show you can achieve a degree in that area. Maybe for your essay talk about your trip to Spain but make it reflect you and not sound like the other out country essays others write about which should be easy since you have many writing achievements. TL;DR Your stats and numbers are great but who are you? In the end I wish you all the best I can give (I need some for myself lol) and GOOD LUCK! <3
