Do I have a chance at Ivy?

Applying to College
1

<p>Basically, I'm planning on applying to several Ivy league schools and some other elite schools but I was wondering if I even had a chance at admission. I am applying as a biology major for each school.</p>

<p>Schools I plan on applying to-
- University of Pennsylvania (top choice)
- Duke
- Brown
- John Hopkin
- Cornell
- University of Chicago
- University of Virginia</p>

<p>My Stats-
- 4.0 GPA unweighted, 4.4 weighted
- #7 in my class (out of 400)
- 3 AP classes junior year (calc ab, english language, and euro history), 6 AP classes senior year (gov, bio, calc bc, english lit, spanish, and psych)
- 1990 on SAT, 33 on ACT
- Dual enrolled as a dean scholar at Lehigh University
- Extracurriculars- class president, national honor society vice president, involved in technology student association, key club, and youth group. Volunteer with special needs kids on a biweekly basis and also do occasional volunteer work at local library. </p>

<p>Is there anything I can do to improve my chances or any suggestions anyone has for admission?</p>

<p>Do you have SATII’s? Obviously the 33 on ACT is much better than the SAT score, so focus on submitting it.</p>

<p>Does your enrollment at Lehigh mean you will be considered a transfer?</p>

<p>I don’t have SAT II’s, all these schools will accept ACT subscores in place of SAT IIs.
And no, I’m not a transfer, I’m still a senior in high school, I just take classes at Lehigh but am still considered an incoming freshman</p>

<p>If that is your entire list, I would make sure you have at least one financial match and safety school on your list as well. Right now the schools you have listed are mostly reach schools.</p>
