Chances-uva, cornell. Thanks!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>hi! thanks for reading this and i hope you can tell me what you think my chances are at cornell, uva(im in state), maryland college park honors program, and duke. i will also be applying to VT and george mason as safety schools. i moved between 8th and 9th grade and unfortunately the new school system automatically placed me in regular, not honors, classes my freshman year. i know i should have fought to get into the honors classes but back then i was pretty naive and didnt really know the difference. The next year i was placed in honors classes, and ive had a difficult schedule since then. </p>

<p>AP classes taken:
Grade 10-World History, 5 on the exam
Grade 11-Biology, Calculus AB, Statistics, US History, English Comp
Next year-Comp Sci, Chem, English Lit, Gov, European Histoy, and maybe Psych or Physics</p>

<p>My school does the A+, B+ thing (a 99+ is an A + and is worth a 4.5, and 90-93 is a B+ and is worth a 3.5). i've gotten all A's or A+s except for a B+ is AP Stats and geometry and 2 Bs in spanish 3. not counting the pluses, my UW GPA is 3.9ish. Counting the pluses, its a 4.05. my wieghted GPA is around a 4.5, with honors and AP classes giving each grade an extra point(an A in an honors/ap class is a 5.0) and my class rank is 23/317, but it would be much higher if i had taken honors classes freshman year</p>

<p>SAT I
Verbal-730
Math-800
Writing-760</p>

<p>SAT IIs
Biology-750
US History-730
im considering taking math level II. even if i got an 800, would it really help me much?</p>

<p>ECs and Awards....yes i know these are lackluster
Pep band 9-12
marching band 10-12, section leader 11 and 12
Jazz band 11-this is a class, but we do lots of gigs and such outside of school
chess club 10-12, president next year
NHS 11-12
Outdoor track 11, hated it! not doing it next year lol
grade 9 class award for algebra II, earth sci, history
grade 10 class award for trig, bio, history
grade 11 class award for calc and physics
around 50 hours of community service</p>

<p>Also, i will be self-studying for the AP calc BC exam next year and am currently teaching myself spanish with rosetta stone, since i surely didnt learn any in school lol. Not sure if colleges even care though</p>

<p>ethnicity-despite my username im caucasian</p>

<p>thank you for your time!</p>

<p>Also, speaking foreign languages does help, esp. if you want to get into business, or public relations.</p>
