<p>I know I probably have the objective stats to be in the running, but I wanted to get an opinion on my chances with some of the subjective stats.</p>
<p>I'm applying Princeton (SCEA and first choice), Yale, MIT, Columbia, Cornell and possibly Brown as reaches. Matches are tentative, but I'm thinking about Tufts, JHU, and Carnegie Mellon.</p>
<p>No Legacy, or URM or anything like that. In fact, I'm Asian, so there's nothing that could possibly give me any boost.</p>
<p>GPA:
Basically all A's and A+'s (a 4.0 by some systems?); our school counts Gym and whatnot, so weighted GPA is probably unrepresentative.</p>
<p>Coursework:
Most rigorous offered within school, 5's on US History, World History, Chemistry, and English Composition. No dual enrollment or community college courses or anything like that.</p>
<p>Scores:
SAT I: 2340, superscored, M/R/W: 770/770/800
SAT II U.S. History: 750
SAT II Math Level 2 (IIC): 790
SAT II Biology - M: 750
SAT II Chemistry: 770</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
I have an activity list that clearly shows my level of involvement and initiative in the following:</p>
<p>Summer Research at Columbia University; entered Siemens but failed.
Honors Chamber Ensemble (violin), Concertmaster and Vice-President
Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra (Community Orchestra)
Chess Club, Founder and President
Debate Team, Co-Captain
School Magazine, Editor</p>
<p>And some other clubs that I'm not sure I should even mention: Computer Club, Model UN, Philosophy Club, Math League, Science League</p>
<p>*Recs and Essays *
Recs will most likely be excellent, + My mentor, a professor at Columbia, is writing me one.
Essays are looking good, I've been revising since August.</p>
<p>I'm lacking work experience and major awards. This is where my uncertainty comes in.</p>
<p>For people with a bit of intuition with chances (as in, they've made quite a bit of good predictions before), does it look like I have a decent shot for my reach schools? Could I at least count on getting into my matches?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
