<p>Schools:

Washington University in St. Louis
University of Virginia
Johns Hopkins </p>

<p>Are there any other schools I should consider?</p>

<p>Duke - def in
UCLA-- DEF in
Georgetown - reach
University of Pennsylvania - FAR reach
University of Maryland-College Park - in
Dartmouth - reach
University of Chicago
Washington University in St. Louis - hard to do with those SAT scores, but with good recs you can do it
University of Virginia - in
Johns Hopkins - again, reach, but bring those SAT score sup and you should be alright</p>

<p>good luck, sistaaaa</p>

<p>UCLA out of state might be a bit tough.</p>

<p>your gpa, class rank, and heavy courseload are very impressive. And your EC's and accomplishments shine as well. I'm guessing it's a foregone conclusion that you would get stellar recommendations, so all that's left is getting a high SAT score (ever think about trying the ACT) and a kick-rear essay/personal statement. That 1 vs 100 experience looks pretty cool, maybe you can write something about that. Personally, I would give a couple of the other ivies a shot (clue: one starts with an H, the other with a Y :)), why not. Good luck hilary.</p>

<p>but she has legleg at UCLA!</p>

<p>I don't really think legacy counts for anything at state schools, considering there are about 6,000 people in every class.</p>

<p>bump (10char)</p>

<p>oh, well whatever
it's still not that hard to get in there</p>

<p>but you REALLY need a higher SAT score</p>

<p>get those SATs up, and I think you can get into any of those schools. good luck!</p>

<p>I'm applying to Wharton. Could you chance me?

<p>I know, I don't want to be harsh, but you're going to need a LOT higher SAT CR score and Math score to get into UPenn, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, and Dartmouth. Like at least a 100 points higher in CR and at least 30-50 points higher in Math. Your EC's and grades are very great, and should mitigate the SAT scores somewhat, but until you can get at least 730+ on all three categories of the SAT sections, Upenn, G, JH, and D cannot be seen as safe. Have you looked into other really great but not as selective colleges like Pomona or Williams? </p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>

<p>I'm hoping to major in something more science-oriented, so I don't think liberal arts schools like Pomona or Williams would be good choices for me.</p>

<p>"1 vs. 100 game show contestant "super smart kids episode"" lol</p>

<p>I guess you have to apply to the show right? </p>

<p>Cause I would love the chance to win some $$$</p>

<p>Or is that show no longer running....</p>

<p>Yeah, you have to apply hahah. But I actually don't think it's running anymore.</p>

<p>ok, hilary. time to share.... how can one get into these game shows and maybe win some moolah.</p>

<p>Hahahah go on Craigslist and find auditions and then go to the auditions and then apply and then get in. Pretty simple, eh?</p>

<p>hmmmm... just might,,, thanks for the tip.</p>

<p>Any other schools I should look at?</p>

<p>Cornell? USC? Carnegie Mellon? In the Big Ten: Northwestern, Wisconsin, Michigan, and many of the other Big Ten schools have good science-related programs.</p>
