Chances of getting into Cornell, Dartmouth, etc?

Applying to College
1

<p>Could someone tell me the chances of my getting into the following schools, majoring in either ecology, botany, or bio (trying to go to med school):</p>

<p>Cornell
Dartmouth
U Chicago
Georgetown
NYU
Emory
JHopkins
Northwestern
Boston College
William & Mary</p>

<p>(are these all reach schools for me? or do i have a relatively good chance at any of them?)</p>

<p>I'm a rising senior, my stats:
unweighted/weighted GPA of 3.85/4.06
class rank: my school does not report rank
predicted SAT of 2100 CR:750 W:750 M:600 (not sure of these scores, but based on my previous SAT, im expecting scores around these)
SAT Bio: 800; predicted SAT Lit score: 700-750</p>

<p>JR year took: AP environmental science (5 expected), AP bio (5 expected), AP Lang & comp (4 expected)</p>

<p>SR year will be taking: AP French, AP Lit, AP Calc AB</p>

<p>Sports:
have been a competitive club swimmer for 10 years
swam for HS varsity swim team, 9-12
top 10 in the state (small state) in 2 events (100 br & 200 im), 9-11 (12 predicted)
two sectionals cuts (100 br & 200 br)</p>

<p>EC:
environmental club, 9-12
red cross club, 11-12
habitat for humanity club, 11-12
key club, 11-12
president of red cross club, 12</p>

<p>community service: don't know exactly how much, but I've volunteered for the local library, the red cross, a museum, local nature society, highway cleanups, local chinese school, and expect to enter a volunteer research program this summer involving population studies of invasive plant species</p>

<p>The reason I haven't been more involved in more ECs is because my swim schedule is very rigorous, and involves 2-2.5 hour practices daily. the sudden participation in numerous clubs jr year was due to a schedule change in our school that allowed clubs to meet during the school day instead of after school (which gave me the chance of not skipping swim practice to go to a club meeting)</p>

<p>I'm also asian, and i volunteer at various events for my local chinese school, if that makes a difference.</p>

<p>also, will applying without recruitment (for swimming) greatly affect my chances of getting in?</p>

<p>bump, someone please give me a good answer.</p>

<p>I think you have a great chance of getting into NYU, and a fairly decent chance of getting into the others. Get your math score up, though. It’s far below average for those schools.</p>

<p>You are certainly competitive for NYU and BC. The others are reaches, but certainly worth applying to! You will get lots of ignorant hate on this chance thread, but It is still worth applying to all the schools you like. I you get the chance, could you take a look at my latest chance thread about Cornell and others?</p>
