I'm freaking out. Do I have a chance?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I just recently started my junior year about two months ago, and I've calculated my GPA and made my resume for all of high school... I'm wondering whether I can think seriously about getting into Cornell, Columbia, Dartmouth, NYU, Amherst, and Northwestern... Are these schools possible? The only bad thing is that I took all regular courses my freshman year, but I quickly jumped to the top as you can see.... </p>

<p>unweighted GPA: 4.0 (Junior year)
weighted GPA: 4.67 (Junior year) 5.06 (Senior)
11 AP classes in all subjects
Volunteer: 200 volunteer hours, hospital volunteer service, intern with medical examiner
Clubs: Drama Club president, Gay/Straight Alliance president, Glee Club historian, International Thespian Society president, National Honor Society, Key Club, and Academic Team
SAT Subject tests: U.S. History, English Literature, Chemistry
SAT: projected 1800 + (after taking practice tests.) I'm taking the real one in January.
ACT: 29-30 +
Top 10% of my class, probably top 3-4%
First generation Cuban American and first to go to college
4 years total for "Academic Achievement Award"

<p>For schools like those you have listed, your standardized testing needs to be much higher than 1800 SAT and a bit higher than 30 ACT.</p>

<p>i’m confused- you’re going into you’re junior year, but you have your junior and senior GPAs?</p>

<p>Yeah, I created a four year plan with my counselor, and if I enroll in the courses I’ve already decided to take, then that’s going to be my final weighted GPA. My unweighted GPA is a different story, which depends on whether or not I get straight A’s again next year.</p>

<p>K
Im pretty sure if you can handle all those AP classes and maintain a 4.0 then you can get much higher than an 1800 on the SAT
just saying</p>

<p>Well, I know, I mean the 1800 SAT was during my sophomore year for a practice test, so I’m sure that I’ve improved somewhat. Hopefully, at least. lol</p>

<p>An 1800 won’t be enough for any of the schools on your list.</p>
