Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello, </p>

<p>I just want to know everyone's opinions on my chances on getting into an ivy league. Brown University, Cornell University, and John Hopkins University are my dream colleges but Northeastern and Boston College are more reasonable. I would like some advice on what I can improve on (ex. more ECs). Also, my school is small and has only honors classes. There's not many electives either. There's no AP. </p>

<p>Academics:
Freshmen year: GPA- 4.0 out of 4.5. Took 2 honors classes. </p>

<p>H- Engineering
English: World Literature
History: Global Studies
Accelerated Geometry
Spanish II
H-Music and Art </p>

<p>I wasn't old enough to do anything during freshmen year. </p>

<p>Sophomore year: GPA- 4.3 out of 4.5.
Took 4 honors classes: </p>

<p>H- Biology
H- Spanish II
H- History: American Revolution and Western Expansionism
English: Film and Fiction: Dystopias and Gods and Kings
Art and Technology
Algebra II
Volunteered at The Wish Project for more than 200 hours. Piano and Taekwondo lessons. Part of Newspaper club and Yearbook Committee. National Honors Society. Went to Vietnam over the summer for a cultural experience </p>

<p>Junior year: I'm currently a junior in high school right now.
Taking 6 out of 6 honors classes:
H- Chemistry
H- Computer Science
H- Spanish III
H- PreCalculus
H- History: Italian Renaissance
H- English: Coming of Age</p>

<p>I have an internship at a hospital, working with biomedical engineers. I am also volunteering at that hospital. Swimming, planning on doing track and field, participating in the science fair. National Honors Society. Chemistry Club. </p>

<p>I'm trying to push myself to the limits. I have been having difficulties getting rides home through my years in high school so far, therefore I couldn't do after school clubs during freshmen and sophomore year, will colleges understand that?</p>

<p>Thanks for your feedback!</p>

<p>What is your un-weighted cumulative gpa</p>

3

<p>Thanks for the reply! Well I don’t know how to correctly calculate that but I got straight As throughout these 3 years in high school. Would that be a 4? To receive honors credit in my school, students must do extra work for each class and they will get a .5 boost to their GPA.</p>

<p>I think ivies are reaches for everyone so Brown and Cornell are reaches along with Johns Hopkins. Also you didn’t say what your SAT/ACT scores were so I can’t really say for Northeastern and Boston College</p>

5

<p>Can’t tell anything without SAT or ACT scores.</p>

<p>I didn’t think the SATs yet. I’m still a Junior and I’m playing to do them senior year</p>

<p>Take the SATs in the spring of Junior year first. Then if you want, you can retake them fall of senior year</p>
