Applying to College

<p>Hi, so I'm really new to this College Confidential thing, so be patient with me lol
So I just started high school sophomore year, but i'm already interested in my future colleges. the list below basically summarizes my notable stats. Could someone tell me how I'm doing so far, and what type of college I would be accepted to at this pace. Could I get into an IVY League? Thanks in advance..</p>

<p>Half-White and asian
Ranked #1 in class (over 500 students in public high school)
3.98 UW GPA (Art :()
4.35 W GPA
Took and passed AP Calc AB and BC during freshman year
In medical magnet program (requires certain unique courses and medical internship over junior year)
Bi-Lingual (fluent in Japanese as well)
Go to Japanese Language School every Saturday (6 hours)
SGA member (plan on obtaining leadership position in future)
NHS member </p>

<p>I haven't taken the SAT or ACT yet but I think my range is from 2000-2300 and 30-35
I also plan on volunteering at medical centers
I havent decided on a major yet, but I believe I will go to medical school, so maybe biology </p>

<p>THANK YOU FOR ANYONE WHO ANSWERS
Please answer honestly </p>

<p>Read this: <a href=“Chance Threads - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING ONE - Harvard University - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/1420290-chance-threads-please-read-before-posting-one.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Basically “Chance me” posts are useless. They’re worse than useless for a sophomore with 2 semesters under your belt. Read a lot on this site. Then ask questions if the search function fails you. But frankly, stay away for about another 2 years – is the best advice I can give you.</p>

<p>Ah, I see. Thanks anyway</p>

<p>Here’s the thing about Ivy League/tippy-top-ranked schools: they are basically a lottery even for kids with the very best grades and test scores. So, yeah, if you continue to have a 3.98 GPA and do really well on the SAT and SAT subject tests, and take the most rigorous courses you can, and have ECs you’re passionate about and dedicated to… then yeah, you have a shot at one of those schools. BUT: just because your stats are good enough, so are the stats of literally thousands of other applicants. Those schools receive so MANY qualified applicants and only a handful get in. So… next year, when you have a better idea what your actual GPA and scores will be- and you start putting together a realistic college list, you need to be looking at other wonderful but non-Ivy schools as well. Because even with the very best stats, your chances of getting in are low. Research them by all means, and decide which one or two are the best fit for you (they are all VERY different!) and apply to them as “reach” schools… but know that it’s a very long shot even for the best student. Just keep that in mind :)</p>

<p>You are too early to ask for chancing. The project score range is too wide to anything is possible.</p>

<p>Yup, thanks for the advice</p>

<p>3.98? Forget the Ivies. I can’t imagine you getting in anywhere besides a community college.</p>

<p>But seriously. Don’t just group yourself into the “average” category. Too many students do that and don’t perform to the best of their ability when it comes to the supplemental parts of their application because they aren’t approaching with enough confidence. Also, 2000-2300 and 30-35 are VERY big ranges.</p>

<p>What the heck kind of medical internship can you do in HS?</p>

<p>lol @Erin’s Dad </p>

<p>Not really sure, the seniors have some type of internships at Johns Hopkins, County Medical Centers,etc. I think they act as “medical assistants”
