Could I actually get into these schools?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey just wondering if I am aiming too high....just looking at all those other people and their impressive test scores, i'm shocked.
So school looking at...
United States Military Academy (West Point) <---this is where I really want to go
Stanford (2nd choice)
Princeton
Harvard
Yale
Columbia
Dartmouth</p>

<p>I go to a prep school in the northwest that is extremely academically rigorous
I've taken all the honors course I could (which at my school is only allowed in math)
AP's aren't offered at my school until never year and I'm taking all 3 of them
I am ranked about between 5-10 in my 250ish people class
I have a 3.94something cumulative GPA
SAT math 620 reading 690
SATII US History 690 MathII 690</p>

<p>My extracurricular is extensive...I have dedicated my life to riding horses (i've been riding since I was 6)... so lots of stuff over the past 4 years.</p>

<p>United States Pony Club: Won Regionals 4 times, Competed in 4 times in National competions, won nationals this year, tried out for international team, rated C2
4-H: lots of grand champions in county level went to state 3 times
Foxhunting Club: Have my junior colors and active member
Community Service: Hippotherapy for disabled kids
American Polocrosse Association: won regionals, won National Champions last year
Varsity High School Equestrian Team: Letter, went to State
(List goes on and on this is just the major stuff)</p>

<p>Work:
I teach at a riding camp all during the summer and I give lessons during the year on weekends, I've coach other teams in games and polocrosse around the state and in other states</p>

<p>Other Academic Stuff:
Went to Girls State
Been on President's List for past 3 years</p>

<p>So does my extracurricular make up for not so good test scores?
How much does it hurt me that I wasn't involved in my school?
Also anyone applying or going to service academy schools please talk to me. I really want to get into West Point</p>

<p>all of your schools are big reaches, not just for you but for most people. gotta pick out some safeties and matches!</p>

<p>You are unlikely to be admitted to any of those schools (except WP, if you know a congressman) with your SAT scores.</p>

<p>Try to pull the sat's up this october and then you might have a chance. (I'm not trying to be mean, but nobody really can say for sure that they'll get into an ivy league)</p>

<p>Do any of the schools compete in equestrian sports? If so- that will help a lot. You are competing on a national/international level, and doing well. Other than that- your scores are not in the range that the Ivies are looking for. West Point, who knows- you could make it. They look at other factors, not just academic scores. Your athletic accomplishments could help there. You are clearly a good competitor.</p>
