Do I have any hope for my dream schools?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Ok so my dream schools are: Stanford, Duke, and Cornell. My decent chance schools are UCLA and Pepperdine. Safer schools are University of Washington and Arizona state. I'm a junior right now.</p>

<p>GPA(unweighted): 3.75-that's my huge problem, I don't even have a weighted gpa because I didn't take any AP classes</p>

<p>SAT 1: Taking in a couple weeks, for the sake of getting answers right now I'm assuming they'll be around 2000-2100</p>

<p>I've taken 2 honors classes and received A's in both, im in precalculus right now and senior year I will be taking AP Stats, AP Macroeconomics, AP Gov. And APES. I have all my requiered classes for admission (foreign language, ect.)
EC's
Snowboard Team
NHS
debate team(I took 3rd in the state, which led to my school's overall championship)
2 years of JV lacrosse
Club soccer for a year
Church worship Band
I was a theatrical movie actor in LA for many years, I aquired starring roles in t.v. Shows, a movie, and various commercials. For the sake of anonymity I won't say which ones, but will that be a major hook for me getting into these colleges? Thank you so much for reading.</p>

<p>I would say no for Stanford, and probably not for your other dream schools. </p>

<p>You weakest factor is definitely your GPA and courses. It will be very hard to get into your dreams schools without taking many APs. (especially if your school offers many more) If you do score in that range for your SAT I that is still on the lower-mid range for those schools. (though some do get admitted in that range; granted their other factors are probably strong)</p>

<p>Your ECs are pretty average. The fact that you have done some professional acting could help, but I don’t think it would be a major hook. </p>

<p>UCLA would be a mid reach. Pepperdine would be a match. University of Washington would be a low match/safety, and Arizona State would be a definite safety.</p>
