Macalester College
NYU
Boston University
Fordham University
Swarthmore
Carnegie Mellon
Tufts</p>

-Honors Maths (4 years)
-AP Calculus
-Honors Physics
-College English (2 years), Biology, Psychology</p>

<p>SAT:
Sophomore: CR 570, M 610, W 710=1890
Junior: CR 650, M 770, W 660=2090

<p>Do my credentials stack up? Also, are there any colleges (specifically East Coast) that I should look towards?</p>

<p>Maybe consider Haverford.</p>

<p>Hmm… question: How is your weighted lower than your unweighted? You may want to consider adding in another AP for next year, if possible. Other than that, your ECs look pretty solid, with some good leadership roles. Perhaps trying to get that SAT a little higher… All together though, nice job! </p>

<p>Chance me?? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/953745-chance-me-please-i-shall-chance-you-return.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/953745-chance-me-please-i-shall-chance-you-return.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Whoops!</p>

<p>Those should be switched around:
Weighted: 4.03
Unweighted: 4.0</p>

<p>Also, I will have taken all honors/advanced classes offered by graduation.</p>

<p>doesn’t seem to challenge you very much with only one AP. It’s good that you’re taking college courses; maybe you should continue that with a Calculus BC equivalent or some other course you’re into. Based on your SAT, you seem like a math student; you should try to work on those Writing/Reading scores to get close to the 700’s. Also, consider some SAT II’s (Math 1, Math 2, Physics?, Literature?). </p>

<p>NYU will probably be your reach. Also try Boston College, GA Tech, U of Wisconsin-Madison, some of the UC schools, UT Austin, Florida, Maryland, Clemson…</p>

<p>Any other ideas?
I’ll chance back!</p>

<p>If you’ve taken all that you can take course-wise, you should be okay. If not, you didnt challenge yourself enough</p>

<p>SAT low, class rank great.
Should balance each other out.</p>
