Ivies?

<p>I am a white male who goes to a pretty prestigious private school in NYC. My unweighted gpa is around a 3.8. On the sat i have taken so far I received a 2200(800cr, 720 wr, 680 m). I am retaking it in march to raise both my math and writing scores hopefully to result in a 2300. I have taken the biology sat 2 and ap test, and received an 800 and a 5 respectively. I am currently enrolled in the equivalent of ap chemistry at my school(they were recently removed). I am in honors math and have been for my entire academic career. I have been playing the viola(note, not violin) since fourth grade and I take private lessons as well as have played in the school orchestra since 8th grade. I have fenced saber since 9th grade, varsity sophomore-senior. I am about to start fencing at a club. I have also done varsity ultimate frisbee every year. In addition to this I researched the summer after sophomore year and expect to this summer. I went to the AJAS national science conference and presented my research. I have also been in model un since sophomore year. Taking all of this information, do I have a decent chance at the Ivy League schools? Thanks</p>

<p>Yea sure why not.</p>

<p>You are an average candidate. Not saying you don’t have a shot because you do have some unique attributes (fencing, national science conference). How many honors/AP classes have you taken? That is very important to ivy leagues. If you are so desperate to get into an ivy league, I suggest applying ED to your favorite. Best of luck!</p>

<p>My school had done away with ap’s so we only have honors classes and equivalents of ap. I’ve taken bio, chem history and French at these levels. I have been in the French honors track since 9th grade, I am currently in “French 5”. By the end of senior year I will have taken ap physics and ap calculus. Thanks again</p>
