<p>I am currently a Junior at a public school in the suburbs of Philadelphia.
Here are my stats:</p>

<p>Rank: 7/721 as of last year, will be 2 ,3, or 4 this year
GPA: unweighted: 3.9778, weighted ~4.4
Ethnicity: white male (if that matters)
PSAT: M 66 CR 62 W 62
SAT: M 640 CR 630 W 700 (taking them again and studying like crazy)
ACT: expect ~33+
SAT II: Chem 730 and will take Physics and Math I or II, not sure yet</p>

<p>APs:
Euro - 4
Bio, APUSH, Eng Lang - taking this year
Physics, US Gov, Eng Lit, Chem, Calc AB (my school doesn't offer BC but I may self study for it) - taking next year</p>

<p>EC's

<p>Classes
All highest levels possible. My school does not allow AP's until 10th grade, where Euro is the only option. 3 is the max in 11th, and only 4 kids do that, I am one of them. 6 is the max senior year, but band is a class so the max I could do is 5, and my school does not offer AP Chem, and the equivalent is Honors Chem 2, but I will be taking the AP test.</p>

<p>Summers
7-11 for 3 years (boss loved me)
I am applying to both the Drexel Summer Mentorship Program and Fox Chase Student Scientist. I expect to get into at least one, but possibly both if my essays are as good as I think....... Which would look more prestigious?</p>

<p>My college choices in order of preference:
MIT, Johns Hopkins, Cornell, Stanford, Drexel, U Pitt</p>

<p>If I forgot anything, please ask!!!</p>

<p>Thank you so much!!!</p>

<p>You really have no shot at MIT with those scores/rank and without something major to back you up, like state or national level awards. </p>

<p>MIT - high reach
Hopkins - low reach
Cornell - low reach
Stanford - high reach
Drexel - in
U Pitt - in</p>

<p>I took the March SAT and got the following scores:</p>

<p>CR - 710
W - 700 (again :confused: )
M- 800</p>

<p>Does this change anything?</p>

<p>Cornell now a match, Hopkins now a match (I think?), MIT still a high reach, Stanford probably a mid reach, obviously in at Drexel and Pitt.</p>
