Thank you for any help that may come! Cheers!</p>

<p>Edit:
Had a summer internship at SolarMax Inc. (basic engineering during summer 2011)
The 3 on English AP and 4 on APUSH were results from our AP retake (tests were stolen from our school) and both were expected to be... higher.
Applying as a biochem major.</p>

<p>You’re pretty well balanced; I think you have a good chance at the schools. Again though, when it comes to Ivy League, the line blurs a bit but I would go for it.</p>

3

<p>Not at all about the OP, but note that some schools don’t consider well-balanced necessarily a plus. Consider how boring a student body would be if everyone were well balanced. :eek:</p>

4

<p>Your rank is very low and scores just average for Harvard, Stanford, Dartmouth and Brown making them major reaches without a truly stand out EC. You have a much better shot at the others.</p>

<p>Yea I don’t have crazy expectations but just trying to be a bit optimistic for myself. Hopefully my essays can bring me up a bit.</p>
