Do I even have a chance for Ivy's?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>GPA: 3.6 UW, 4.1 UW</p>

<p>Most rigorous course schedule possible
IB Diploma</p>

<p>SAT: 2060 total (690 CR 710 M 660 W)
taking again in Nov, taking ACT Saturday, taking subject tests (Lit/Math II/Physics in December)</p>

<p>Only IB test I've taken so far: Film SL (HL is not offered)-7</p>

<p>DECA Area 1st place
DECA state 3rd place
DECA Nationals competitor and top 40</p>

<p>3 years of DECA

Model United Nations since junior year

<p>If I can get around a 2200/34 ACT and 730+ on the SAT II's, do I have a shot at Columbia, USC, Brown, NYU Tisch, Cornell, U of Chicago, Washington University in St. Louis, etc?</p>

<p>GPA’s on the low end for most of the schools you’ve listed.</p>

<p>My sophomore year was good (3.78 or so) and first semester of junior was just as good. I had to pick up more hours second semester for family reasons so it dropped (3.3, eek), but otherwise the trend is upward. I’m hoping I can prove that w/ first semester senior and that my counselor will be convincing on the school forms.</p>

<p>I’m aware that GPA is my weak point, though. I think I’ll do much better on tests this time.</p>
