Chances Please!!!

<p>Information:
Male Senior from Ohio
Uncompetitive public high school
Lower-Middle Class
Carribean (West Indian)
Parents never went to college, both from Trinidad</p>

<p>Academics:
I've taken the hardest possible courseload at my school, but compared to a lot of people's on here--with the 20 APs, etc--it doesn't seem that hard. I've taken every honors and AP course (even though that's only 3 APs) that I could and I have received all As, with a 3 Bs, and one C.</p>

<p>Class Rank: 11/556ish
4.2something weighed GPA
Unweighed is probably like 3.8
Senior Schedule:
AP Calculus (Year-long)
AP Chemistry(year-long)
Honors French V
Honors Anatomy
Frontier America
Undecided (possibly journalism II)</p>

<p>ACT: 31
35 English
31 Math
27 Reading
27 Science</p>

<p>SAT IIs, I took them on November 4th, and I'm almost positive I got 800ish in Math II and in US History, well, that's a different story. I'll be happy with anything close to 700.</p>

<p>5 on the AP Government Test (never took the class)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Tae Kwon Do--I've been practicing TKD for over eight years now. I'm a second-degree black belt and it is a large part of my life. I help my instructors teach often and I'm a member of the United Self-Defense Demo Team. Overall, I spend about 10+ hours a week with this EC.</p>

<p>French Club and French Honorary
I've been involved in these clubs since sophomore year. I've been the French Honorary President for two years in a row now and the French Club treasurer for one.</p>

<p>Quiz Bowl:
I've only recently started this, but it takes up a large portion of my time--about six hours a week.</p>

<p>Math Honorary</p>

<p>I don't have many awards, only the silly school ones and stuff like "Who's Who" and "National Honor Roll"</p>

<p>My Essays will most likely be good and my recommendations will be amazing from my counselor and from my teachers, minus one that I probably shouldn't have used for UPenn...but that's a long and pointless story...anyways, the schools I'm looking at are:</p>

<p>OSU
UPenn
University of Michigan
New York University
Northwestern
Columbia
Cornell
(and then some safeties)
(college of Arts and Sciences at all)
I'm unsure what I want to do--anything from math to sociology seems like a possibility.</p>

<p>Anyway, thank you for reading this. Opinions on chances and maybe some school suggestions would be great.</p>

<p>OSU - Safety
UPenn - Reach
University of Michigan - Match
New York University - Match
Northwestern - Low Reach
Columbia - Reach
Cornell - Reach</p>

<p>thank you, any more opinions? to explain my "safety" list, it's basically just any local college that I'm sure I can get into and get a full-ride.</p>

<p>bump ten char</p>

<p>bump....................</p>

<p>bump....this is a shame</p>

<p>hi, this is pure speculation BUT</p>

<p>I'd say with your background, and considering how much u've challenged yourself, u have a fairly good chance of getting in most anywhere. I mean, ur averages may be a bit here and there, but colleges look at a lot more than numbers.</p>

<p>best of luck!</p>
