Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>im really upset because I found out I finished the semester with 2 B's and I tried really hard to get an A and I think I ruined my chances for any top schools because I now have 5 B's on my transcript. Here's my stats
UW GPA: 3.73
Weighted: 4.45 (but just honors no AP or IB I'll be taking those my next two years)
Ranking: not sure, I'm a sophomore
PSAT: haven't taken
Practice ACT: 27 (I know it's bad but I didn't have a calculator on the math section bc I didn't know they were allowed so it'll probably go up)</p>

<p>Not sure if this helps but I'm the only girl in my county taking both Latin and Greek Honors and I go to the only school in the US (1/3 in the world) that offer Greek IB which I will be taking. I plan on majoring in Linguistics or Classics. </p>

<p>EC:
•President of my National Charity League Chapter
• Active volunteer at a big hospital, will be on the hospitals Auxiliary board next year
•I was in a poetry contest and was published
•run on cross country and track (JV for both, probably JV for all 4 years I'm just average. But my team was league champs in the hardest league in the state but I don't think that helps me)
•highly competitive Model United Nations member. Will be traveling to Cal in February and London, Panama, China, or New York in upcoming years.
• 80 hour volunteering commitment to a charity over my Junior and Senior years that I will choose (part of my schools grad requirements)
•my school is the top 38 private school in the nation</p>

<p>Okay my dream school is UPenn but I know my GPA is not Ivy material. But do you think if I bring it up over the next two years of high school I will have a shot? </p>

<p>Other schools I am interested in
-Notre Dame (my dad and grandpa went there so I'm a legacy btw)
-Northwestern (also a legacy)
-Brown
-Georgetown
-Boston university
-Boston College
-NYU
-Elon
-UVa</p>

<p>Btw I'm a white female from California</p>

<p>Do I have a chance at any of these and which ones? If not where should I be looking?</p>

<p>You’ll have time. Don’t worry, I’d say try to shoot for a higher GPA this next semester and continue throughout. High school is hard and I think you need to take a deep breath and give yourself some credit for your already high GPA! You’ll do better, and worst comes to worst, if you do not get into a ‘top school’ like you wanted, you can go to a school that’s not so high up and transfer. But right now you have time. EC’s are important, one thing I would suggest is something called the Senate Page Program, it’s very prestigious, if you can get in (you need to be a rising Junior in a summer session, and a junior for the semester session), it’s renowned and pays you (also provides room and board if you need it, the costs will be deducted from your salary). It got me into a lot of colleges, and I think it could boost up your applications. </p>

<p>Happy Holidays, Mary!</p>
