<p>I'm applying to colleges now, and I'm wondering how well I'll fare with the schools I'm applying to.</p>

<p>The list:
American
BU
Davidson
Duke
Emory
George Washington
NYU
Rollins (early action)
Tufts
Tulane (early action)
UMiami (early action)
UF
Vanderbilt
Wake Forest</p>

<p>Educational info:
4.01 weighted and 3.36 unweighted GPA. Top 10% of class.
32 on ACT, hoping for ~1400 on SAT (taking in Dec.)
Several AP and dual enrollment courses, but poor AP test scores.</p>

<p>ECs:
Interact Club president and member since entering current school soph year
Sailing team co-founder and co-captain
Senior class VP
NHS member
Varisty tennis - 3 years (could not play fresh year)
Varsity cross country fresh year
Varsity track fresh year
Sell used car parts online in my spare time - mentioned this in my applications</p>

<p>Summer:
Attend National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine between soph and junior years. Worked at parents' office fresh and soph summers. Volunteered at local hospital summer before fresh year.</p>

<p>Emory and UF are probably my top choices, but I'll go to Duke if I do get in there (a stretch for sure). Rollins and American are backups, and the rest all of nearly equal interest.</p>

<p>Thoughts? Comments? Ethnicity is East Indian, fwiw.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Forgot to mention! My older sister attended Emory. This should help me, correct?</p>

<p>I don't think siblings can be considered legacies.</p>

<p>thanks for the comments. I spoke to a guy on the phone the other day, who said I seemed like a very strong candidate. Boosted my ego slightly.</p>

<p>kyledavid80 - you don't think having a sibling attending/ed the same university has any weight at all?</p>

<p>Any more thoughts?</p>

<p>Also in at Tulane, NYU, GW, Wake Forest and UF. I think your sister's attending at Emory gives you an edge there, but it probably is a slight reach.</p>

<p>thanks markr, that boosts my confidence.</p>

<p>any additional insights?</p>
