Ivies/Stanford (Especially B-School!)

<p>Hi, I am a junior in high school and was just curious as to my chances at any of the Ivy League schools + Stanford.</p>

<p>To begin, I am a Caucasian male from Michigan.</p>

<p>My GPA is 3.96, and my ACT score is a 32, and my class rank is in the top 8 percent (25 out of 295).</p>

<p>By the end of senior year I will have taken 6 AP classes, and five years of Spanish (which means the "most rigorous schedule" box will be checked on the common app) :</p>

<pre><code>AP Gov
AP English
AP Microeconomics
AP Macroeconomics
AP Spanish
AP Calculus
</code></pre>

<p>I have also taken all honors, accelerated, and AP courses since Sophomore year.</p>

<p>ECs:</p>

<p>3 year member of the varsity debate team, and I have won trophies and achievement awards in debate</p>

<p>4 year member of the varsity tennis team, plus 2 years as a captain</p>

<p>I am also an editor of the school literary magazine, and helped start the literary magazine from the ground up</p>

<p>Am a member of NHS (I will either be an officer, or will be a chairmen of the tutoring committee)</p>

<p>I have a job outside of school, and have been working there since sophomore year. I have received many raises, and have somewhat of a high status there considering I am in high school.</p>

<p>I will be attending the American Legion Boys State program in the summer, and possibly an engineering camp held by the University of Michigan (engineering is not my intended area of study, but is still somewhat interesting to me).</p>

<p>Community service:</p>

<p>Volunteer many hours to multiple community organizations through NHS</p>

<p>Tutor through NHS</p>

<p>Coach recreational education tennis to local youth since freshman year (I am a certified USTA coach, as well)</p>

<p>As far as letters of rec, I am very close with several teachers who will write outstanding letters for me (one of them the English department chair, and varsity debate coach), and I am one of the top students in AP English (MY essay will be strong as well).</p>

<p>My intended areas of study are a major in International Business, and a minor in Spanish or International Studies. I know Cornell and U Penn have incredible business schools, but admissions is the real problem. </p>

<p>My stats are at least semi-competitive, but would I actually be admitted into any of the Ivy League schools, or to Stanford? If not, or if it would be close, what could I possibly do at the end of this year/senior year to boost my chances? Please keep business school in mind, as well. </p>

<p>All responses are appreciated, Thanks!</p>

<p>P.S. If anybody is familiar with the Ross School of Business (at University of Michigan), what would my chances be there (both as a pre-admit and as a freshman admit)?</p>
