Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am wondering what my chances are at getting into high standing school. Preferably Princeton or Uni of Chicago.<br>
GPA: less than stellar my freshman and sophomore year; I am really turning it around, though.
9: 3.129
10: 3.133
11: 3.929
I took rather difficult classes this year as Honors Chemistry(No AP :( ) Anatomy and the most advanced Math class I could take this year was Pre-calc and trig. I will have four years of Spanish. Next year I am taking AP Stats and Calculus, College Writing along with other rigorous classes. I will maintain a 4.0 next year as well.</p>

<p>EC: I am captain of the football team, Vice President of our student activity council and president of our National Honor Society. I am the designated leader of our new battle of the books ( for lack of a better name) club. By the end of the summer I will have over 40 hours of service time ( school requires 20). I am volunteering at the congress office and will be able to get a LOR from our congressman, a Princeton Alum, and a Professor of Psych who taught at UNI.</p>

<p>Testing: I received a 27 on my first ACT; I, however, retook it and got a 32. I plan to retake it once more aiming for a 34+. I will be taking the SAT math II exam and the SAT chemistry. Both of which I believe I can do well on. Expected 800 on math and 750+ on chemistry. </p>

<p>I hope to make up for my GPA with exceptional test scores and ECs. Just wondering what my chances are. Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>Captain of varsity football? Are you good enough to get recruited? Otherwise you’re GPA has really taken a hit and you’d need the 34+ ACT, but that still puts you at a below-average shot at these schools. Are you sure they’re the best fit for you?</p>

<p>I agree, Princeton will be a high reach for you. Your GPA is not good sophomore year. But it depends on your major though… Chance me back?</p>
