I'm from the Northeast, not a legacy...</p>

<p>SATs: only took it once
Critical Reading: 790
Math: 690
Writing: 790 (essay 12)</p>

<p>haven't taken SAT IIs yet but most likely in the 700s for US History, French, and English (maybe Latin or Bio)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.9422
Weighted-about 4.3
Class Rank-top 5% (school isn't any more specific than that) class size of about 400</p>

<p>ECs-
Student Gov't-secretary 9th and 10t; Principal's Committee-co-chair 10, chair 11;

Nat'l Latin Exam-Magna Cum Laude-9th; Nat'l French Contest-9th in US 9th grade, 10th in US 10th grade, waiting for this years results...;

<p>It seems you have really good raw stats ( GPA, SAT besides Math could go up a little) and I think you could get into UPenn if you do ED because your stats look really good. If you don’t need financial aid I would say you’re in at NYU, and all of the other top tier schools on your list are a crapshoot to tell you the truth. Also, I know a lot of top applicants who were waitlisted or rejected from the University of Chicago, it is really competitive. You look good for UPenn ED if you are paying full tuition. Good luck!</p>

<p>WOW! 500 Community service hours??? Man you are the ideal perfect person. I have nothing much to say, but I really think your academics/ec’s are solid.</p>

<p>Good luck to you in the future, I’m very sure you will get into most of your choices.</p>

<p>The only thing that is Possibly lacking is the math SAT score, but even that is pretty much on par. You have an EXTREMELY good chance at all of those schools.</p>
