<p>I'm currently a second semester Junior and I'm taking 5 AP classes. Last semester, I managed to get all A's, but this semester things have been a little more complicated with SATs and AP Exams and extra curricular activities. I might get not one but two Bs this semester, and I'm kind of freaking out about college apps because of them. So far, I've gotten all A's since 9th grade which leaves me with a 4.66 cumulative weighted, and now, I guess, with potential Bs, 3.99 unweighted. I have 1000+ volunteer hours from volunteering at a hospital, a dance school, and various charity events. I do different types of dance, and sing different types of music (from around the world) and perform very often. I taught a dance class for a year. I also do theatre, and got a good review in the newspaper about my performance (hope to use this as a video supplement). Apart from that, I volunteered in research at a local hospital my summer between soph and junior year, and will be doing more research this coming summer, hopefully I'll be able to get out a science project. My PI has offered to give me a rec letter. I also tutor a handicapped girl at my school twice a week. My SATs are decent (2200) but I plan to take them again, and I haven't received any SAT II scores or AP Exams scores yet, although I feel pretty good about those. I also still have to take a few more SAT IIs before I send in college apps, which I know is REALLY risky, but I really had no other choice with my extra curriculars.
What do you think my chances to get into Ivy Leagues, Stanford, UPenn, UC's, UChicago and the BS/MD programs @ BU, Brown, and Northwestern? Thanks! :)</p>
<p>I forgot to mention that I also have a job x)
Oh, and also, would you also be kind enough to give me any last minute advice for making my application more successful? I know it’s late in the process, but if there’s anything I can add during the next few months I’ll do my best to. Thanks!</p>
<p>Wow! That is A LOT of service! Tutoring is definitely something that colleges will respect, as well your SAT score and grades. Some EC that would make you stand up would be nice. Other than that, just raise your SAT and you should be good!</p>
<p>Chance me back ?</p>

<p>Thanks! I read your post as well. Wow! There’s really nothing I would add to that…just write knock-out essays and you should be good :)</p>
<p>You are a fantastic student! You are exactly what those colleges are looking for! </p>
<p>The only advice I would give is to stay humble but be proud of yourself. Really evaluate the things that make you a person, once you take away all the academic stuff. Those are the kind of things you need to write a killer personal statement. Personal Statements are very important when going up against so many competitive students, especially at places like UChicago.</p>
