<p>Hey Guys, I wondering if you guys could chance me for my quest on getting into good colleges.
I need help in choosing really good schools to apply to and have a decent shot of getting in. My choices now are: Harvard (Dream), U of Chicago, NYU, Boston U, SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Stony Brook, CUNY Macaulay Honors (Baruch, Hunter, CCNY).</p>
<p>My Stats:
SAT 1: 2280 (Cr:780, M:770, W: 730)
APs: USH (4), Biology (3), World Hist (2).
Subject test: Math II (710), Chemistry (730), USH (800)
Senior Year Course load:
AP Calc AB, AP Economics, English 12, AP Physics B, Finance, IT. Self-studying for AP Pysch since my school allows a max of 3 APs per year.
GPA: 88/100
Regents Exams (New York State Exams): English (94), USH (97), Global (93), Living Environment (82), Physics (82), Chem, Trig and Geometry were all 65. Because I substituted my Subject test scores instead of taking the regent. Honestly, those classes were the GPA killer.
Ethnicity: Asian
Income Bracket: Low</p>
<p>ECs: Key Club (webmaster), Model Congress, Founder & President of school Math Club, Red Cross Club. I know it's not much, if at all anything.</p>
<p>The problem is that my beginning years of HS wasn't going so well, and my grades suffered because of that. I have received almost every grade imaginable.
For my personal essay I was thinking about writing about how I coped with coming out of the closet to my strict conservative parents and how they were understanding of me. This situation had adversely affected my freshman and sophomore year.</p>
<p>It's not much, and I believe I can bring my GPA to at most a 93 during the mod-year. I'm currently a junior at a public school. Do you think I have any chance at the schools I mentioned, oh and any recommendations on where to apply?</p>
