<p>Why isn't Cornell on that list? :p</p>

3

4

<p>I don't think anyone can tell you your chances really well without SATs.</p>

5

<p>yea...lets say i did really good on them</p>

6

<p>"cause im not sure if i should apply there yet lol..it might jus be a waste of money"</p>

<p>then why are u applying to duke and princeton?</p>

<p>"WHo's who among american high school students, National Honors Role"</p>

<p>Take those two out, it is well-known that they will not be looked upon positively by any decent school, and that they are just scams that take your money.</p>

<p>Does your school offer only 2 APs? 2 AP courses including the senior year isn't exactly an impressive courseload. Of course, if your school does only give 2 AP classes, then nothing can be done about it and it will say so on the school profile that goes with the transcript.</p>

<p>Also, what is your idea of a 'very good SAT'? For some people, that might mean 2000, for others it might mean 2400.</p>

<p>Just wondering, what is your class rank? In other words, where do you place in your class? I went to a private, catholic high school in DC, and though my school did not rank, they did have deciles. What is your place in your class? Are you Top 5%, Top 10%, etc.?</p>

10

<p>we have no class rank....but i would be in the top 10%</p>

<p>I was wondering your place in your class because though many schools do not rank (like, 1/500, or 10/100, or 25/435, etc.), they do have deciles, and these deciles are reported on your secondary school report that your counselor sends to the schools. Based on your stats only, I think that your gpa is okay. Do your best on your SATs. However, that's just objective information, and the admissions office does other things into consideration.</p>
