My weakest area</p>
<p>I know there are alot of unknowns and extremely weak ECs but could anyone tell me my chances, if I do resonably well on my SAT/SATII's, for these schools:</p>
<p>UMass-Amherst OOS
UCSC OOS
Michigan State In-State
UMich In-state
U of Chicago OOS
Georgetown
MIT(heh)</p>
<p>I am hopeing to study Linguistics, so if all of these are over my head could anyone please recommend some good Linguistic programs more at my level?</p>
<p>no chance for mit. why mit, anyway? it's not known for its linguistics. very little chance for georgetown</p>
<p>also, you need the tests by jan at the latest. so i'm not too sure what you mean when you give a range for your SAT I (since you'll need subject SATs too by jan, which you do not have)</p>
<p>umm.... MIT and linguistics?? Isn't Noam Chomsky (voted the world's most "intellectual" person - whatever that means) the professor of linguistics there? Granted, Chomsky's probably known more for his political contributions rather than his linguistics. He's still pretty smart and well known tho!</p>
<p>The only thing that concerns me about your application to high level schools... is the severe grade inflation exhibited by a homeschooled applicant. You have a 4.0 in virtually every class you listed. That shows huge grade inflation, which might trouble some admissions officers.</p>
<p>Yeah I know that the most unsettling thing is the large amount of 4.0s. I was hopeing that since I have nine classes, and probably more by the time I graduate, from outside sources such as the local high school and a community college that if they ignored my homeschooled gpa that they would still have something to go on.</p>

Well I am only a junior as of today so I still have time to take the tests before it is my turn to apply.</p>
<p>I wouldn't worry about assigning grades to your classes at home. Just have whoever writes your "School Report" (typically a parent for home schoolers) describes what you've done with some detail, but not enough to make a readers eyes glaze over.
A good idea may be to focus on 2-3 SAT Subject Tests and get some impressive scores.</p>
