<p>Hi everyone this is my first post here and I was just sort of trying to feel around for my chances at some of my schools. I'm a junior now and I have visited tons of schools and I really liked so far:
Yale
Dartmouth
Princeton
U Mich
Rochester
Boston College
Georgetown
Columbia
U Penn
I just took the May SAT and I got a 2360, and now have a 2370 overall (800 CR, 770 Math, 800 Writing). Last year, I took the AP Euro and got a 5 and took the AP lit and got a 4. This year, I took:
APUS (5 maybe?)
Chem (4-5?)
Macroeconomics (prob 5)
IB Econ SL (6-7)
IB Math Methods SL (anywhere from 5-7)
I am a full-IB student and will be taking IB Bio IB lit and IB hota (all HL) next year and IB spanish SL next year, along with Calc AB and maybe AP stat. I have as high a GPA in my school as it can get (4.0 unweighted). I have worked in a cancer biology laboratory since ninth grade and now have my own project going there, under the supervision of my mentor. I am probably going to emphasize this a lot on my essay. From my research, I have also won awards at local and state science competitions. I'm in math league, and I also swim and have won a few city championships, although im not good enough to swim at an ivy league. I also am captain of the geography team (dorky, I know) and we won a few competitions this year. I am also involved in my school's tutoring program, and tutor students in math and science, especially chemistry. I write for the school newspaper and attended a summer camp for 7 years, where i gained a lot of leadership experience that I could also talk about. I also volunteer with Habitat for Humanity.
Sorry for the long post, but I just wanted to know what you think of my chances are of getting into the schools above next year (I will prob apply to yale early action)?
Also, I am taking the SAT IIs next saturday. I was originally scheduled to take bio, us, and math 2 but i am not ready for bio yet so i am just taking the last two, and expect to get at or near 800 in both.
Thanks for reading this, everyone!</p>
<p>bump...sorry but i need advice</p>
<p>Your list is a little top heavy. You can apply to 4 ivies, sure. But you need 2/3 more matches and safeties.</p>
<p>yeah i probably will but i havent visited many of them yet</p>
