<p>How competitive can I be?
So I go to a highly competitive highs school in Mass.
Freshman GPA-3.8
Soph: 3.73 (2 AP's) (Chem and AP Calc BC)
Junior: most likley 3.64 (3 AP's plus two semesters of math class at a nearby private liberal arts college and an online college math class) weighted Gpa for this year is 4.44</p>

<p>SAT: 2230 m:760 Wr: 730 R: 740</p>

<p>Around 150 hours volunteering at a hospital </p>

<p>Math Team Captain for all of high school</p>

<p>Do congressional debate and state qualifier last three years and national qualifier in 9th grade and this year.</p>

<p>So with all this, my question is how likely am I for these colleges:</p>

<p>Boston College
Tufts
Duke
UCLA
UC Berkeley
Amherst
Ivy's
John's Hopkins
U Chicago</p>

<p>Are there any colleges you all would recommend for me?
So I mean I know the process is different and there is not set algorithm but any comments are appreciated!</p>

<p>I also played JV Basketball and JV soccer freshman year and competed in Varsity Swimming this year
I also won some national latin awards: gold freshman year, silver last year and I don't know for this year. Last year I got into the national latin honor society</p>

<p>I'm Indian btw and I really don't know what I want to do... Maybe premed maybe pre law?

<p>Oh yeah and I go to a private school, I am in the top 15% since our school is small~ 60 kids per grade and I got 750 on my chem subject test and 800 in math II</p>

<p>What will matter most will be your extracurriculars and your essays. Otherwise you will just be another high achieving Indian student. Think about what you can do to be different from the others and how the particular colleges’ programs fit you, and you’ll be in at many of your choices.</p>

<p>Do something you want. A lot of people I know go to “medical” field for “money.” Other than that EC’s are important as well as grades. UC’s mostly numbers.</p>

<p>Agreed with Apollo6</p>

<p>There will be many kids with your stats and background, or even higher stats, applying to the same schools. You should think about how to sell yourself as a unique student who stands out versus the others just like you. The best way to demonstrate it is with a killer essay. Make sure you are passionate because everyone can appreciate when someone is genuine about their love of their hobbies/ECs</p>

<p>Also, don’t do ECs just because it looks good, do it because you like it and would do it even if colleges didn’t look at your involvement in it.</p>
