<p>Rank: 1/170
GPA: 4.0 UW, 4.385 W
SAT: 2230 (soph year)
SAT II: expecting 800 Math IIC and 750-800 Chemistry
ACT: 35 (soph year)
PSAT: 216 (soph year)
College classes: Calculus II, Multivariable Calculus, Organic Chemistry I, II
EC's: average mostly, the usual clubs, also a 2 year varsity tennis player thus far, summer volunteer at local hospital, service in key club, nhs, etc..
Research: Chemistry research, 2 year summer research in plastics engineering technology</p>
<p>Please evaluate my chances at the following schools based on this information. I greatly appreciate your help in this matter. Thank you!</p>
<p>35 ACT as a sophomore is very impressive</p>
<p>you have a chance everywhere, but no guarantees at those schools</p>
<p>Please give a % chance at each school, that would really help! thanks</p>
<p>if i had to guess</p>
<p>MIT- 20%
Northwestern 65%
GT- 75%
Berkeley- 35% (out of state)
Cornell- 65%
CMU- 70%
KU- 99%
JHU- 65% (BME 50%)
USC- 75%</p>
<p>from out of state it is pretty much like an ivy to get into</p>
<p>do Calculus II, Multivariable Calculus, Organic Chemistry I, II help in admissions at all?</p>
<p>I suppose they would help, but it would be much more beneficial if you would take the AP Calc BC rather than II (they are roughly the same level, right?) because it is not so relative between schools. Organic Chemistry and other more specific high school courses help colleges see your interests and would definitely help for pre-med/chem major.</p>
<p>I plan to take the BC and AP chem test this year. Also, does Multivariable Calculus help at all?</p>
<p>yes it will help you</p>
<p>Anyone else have thoughts on % chances of getting in?</p>
<p>you are only a junior though, I wouldnt be stressing out about college just yet, theres plenty of time to do that</p>
<p>just trying to get a preliminary feel for what type of schools i'll be competitive for</p>
<p>also what about northwestern HPME, Rice/Baylor, and Brown PLME</p>
