Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm a junior in high school and live in Oklahoma. I've taken both the SAT and ACT once, and plan on retaking them both, taking the new SAT in April or so. Here are my stats as of yet:</p>

<p>SAT I: 1440 (760 Verbal, 680 Math)
ACT: 32
4.0 GPA (unweighted)
AP U.S. History Exam: 4</p>

<p>This year I'm taking:
AP Calc
AP English
AP American Govt
AP Physics B</p>

<p>I am secretary of National Forensic League, vice-president of National Honor Society, secretary of Young Democrats, and House Representative. I am heavily involved in speech/debate and my main passion is journalism. I am copy editor and reporter for my school's newspaper
This summer I participated in a journalism workshop at a university. My article for the workshop was published in my town's newspaper. I intern with the newspaper now, working a few hours/week writing articles. My columns have also been printed in the state newspaper.
I also just found out that my PSAT score was 223, which should be high enough to result in National Merit Semi-finalist status.
My query is basically to find out if my extracurriculars are strong enough. Does anyone have any opinions on my chances to get into Harvard/Columbia/Yale/any Ivies? I don't think my academics can get that much stronger, and I plan on taking 4 AP classes next year. </p>

<p>Also, does anyone know of any good (free) summer programs? I'm already applying to Telluride. Does anyone know how hard it is to get into Telluride? What are my chances there?</p>

<p>you are a jr, go enjoy life, worry about this later</p>

<p>I could be concerned with it now and thus prepare myself while honing my skills at journalism, or I could post a dozen frantic posts this time next year asking for futile advice. Which would you choose?</p>

<p>Just keep on focussing on journalism. See where it can get you. Just do what you like. You seem to be doing that already. Then, do well.</p>

<p>Really, just enjoy yourself. Don't fret too much.</p>
