Crap GPA...

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>Tomorrow's the last day of 10th grade for me. With all the grades in, I'd really appreciate some review of my chances for the Ivy Leagues. My dream school is MIT, and other schools that I'm looking at are Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Brown, UPenn (but mainly UPenn ;) ).</p>

<p>I thought I was doing pretty well with my GPA, but it turns out my GPA's pretty average at my school...
I was wondering what you guys thought.</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>9th Grade:
- AP Biology (3 on AP test, idk why :( )
- AP World History (again, another 3 :( )
- Honors World Literature
- Honors Spanish 2
- Math Analysis/PreCalculus (graded on the AP scale at my school)
- Beginner TV
- Intermediate TV
- All A's, 5.04/5.30 Weighted, 4.0/4.0 Unweighted</p>

<p>10th Grade:
- AP Environmental Science (most likely a 4/5)
- AP Chemistry 1 (at my school you take AP test after 2nd part of chem course)
- AP Computer Science (definitely a 5)
- AP US History (definitely a 5)
- AP Calculus BC (definitely a 5)
- Honors American Literature
- Honors Spanish 3
- All A's, 4.97/5.30 Weighted, 4.0/4.0 Unweighted</p>

<ul>
<li>By the end of senior year, I will have taken 19 AP courses.</li>
</ul>

<p>SATS:
- Haven't taken official SAT 1
- SAT II Math Level 2: 750, 800 (retook the test)
- SAT II Biology M: 800
- SAT II World History: 690 (if you haven't noticed, history's not exactly my strongsuit)
- SAT II US: took it couple weeks ago, 700-750 range</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
- Tennis for over 10 years; JV/Varsity of school team from 9-12 grade (you stay on the team)
- Chess Club
- Math Competition Team
- Computer Science Club
- Science Olympiad
- VOICES Speech and Debate
- Film Production Club (founder and president)
- UNICEF Club (president)
- Volunteer weekly at local hospital 4 hours a week: 500+ hours by senior year
- Avid filmmaker (hopefully I win some film festivals and such)</p>

<p>I just wanted to see how I'm doing throughout my high school journey. I would like to know what I should improve; any suggestions, comments, or criticism would be nice.</p>

<p>EDIT: I should add on that I'm an Asian male (affirmative action woohoo), and that I have a sibling dynasty at MIT</p>

<p>It’s way to early to be calling your GPA crap. Honestly, your way on target for all these schools.*Note any top school is a reach for anyone. My suggestion is you keep your eye on the prize, but take it one year at a time. Also note, having a sib at MIT may help you greatly. Honestly, your on track keep it up!</p>
