<p>I have an SAT score of 2120 my first try (740CR/690W/680M) and did 150 points worse my second try.
SAT II- 780 Bio E, 760 Physics, 680 Math 1
I'm self-studying 3-4 AP's my senior year, (AP Lit, Bio, Chem and Calc BC)
My school doesn't use ranks, but if I had to guess I would say 3/4th out of 140, school doesn't use GPA, but about 3.8 would be accurate.
References: pretty good, approaching stellar.
As for EC's, I'm president of Student Council, Founder and Editor for the school newspaper, did quiz bowl all four years of high school and captained it 3 out of those 4, I did soccer for two summers, worked in my school's chem lab and volunteered at a summer reading program for a summer (66 hours). I also was 2nd chair trombone in symphonic band grades 9-11, 1st chair euph. in the same group this year, 2nd trombone in jazz band grades 9-11 and lead trombone this year.
Ethnicity: Nigerian-American (First gen immigrant)
Hook: I did every two years of grade school on average in a different country, I lived in a small town during high school, so I didn't have very many opportunities for research and other EC's(I'm taking all the EC's offered and only three people at my school take AP's, the other two are only taking AP lit.) I skipped three years of elem and am now an HS Senior at 14 (I couldn't participate in very many varsity sports because of this).</p>
<p>If you write a good essay detailing your interesting circumstances and increase your mathematics scores on the SAT, you will be viable for a spot in the ivies. There is little chance for Harvard, Stanford, MIT, though</p>
<p>No way with that sat score…Sorry.</p>
<p>Not even Cornell or any of the ‘lesser’ ivies?</p>
<p>Unfortunately colleges mostly look at your sat score and gpa. But you have a very unique situation which could help you a little.</p>
<p>it is a shame that you got 150 lower on your 2nd try I didn’t notice that on my 1st read. It will be difficult for you to get in.</p>
<p>Score choice?</p>
<p>most ivies require all scores submitted</p>
<p>Score choice - depends on the Ivy. Investigate all you might apply to.</p>
<p>You’re a unique candidate - generally those who finish high school so young sacrifice their chances of being admitted to top college for undergrad, however it seems you have managed to do well despite this. I’m sure they will factor your age into consideration when reviewing your application. I wonder if Harvard might Z-list you (require you to take a gap year) if they are to accept you.</p>
<p>Here’s a story (with a happy ending) that you will definitely be able to relate to:</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Haha I don’t think I can relate to the 2340 SAT score, but yeah that really gives me a bit of hope. Thanks!</p>
<p>What are you interested in studying, or what career field is attractive?</p>
<p>By the way, please don’t just think getting into an Ivy is the best. There are other good schools, and going for Cornell for the sake of its Ivy name is ridiculous. </p>
<p>I’m interested in either chem eng or Pre-Med, right now I’m just trying to get into the best university I can</p>
