So some of my top schools are UNC Chapel Hill, Dartmouth, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, George Washington, University of South Carolina, and Amherst.

Will I get in?

I took a normal all Honors/International Studies courses and have completed all science classes by the end of my sophomore year. I am now a junior and here are my stats. I am taking IB courses and am going for the full diploma

AP Scores: World History (3), wanting to take Spanish

IB Courses: HL History of the Americas, HL English, HL Chemistry, SL Bio, SL Math, ToK, SL Spanish

My GPA is 3.95/4.7685

I know I have no SAT/ACT but I am taking the ACT in December and the SAT in January. What would I need to hit on these to make them obtainable?

I had strong awards and honors with…
Keystone Award for IB
National Honors Society
Spanish NHS
Beta Club
Eagle Scout Project Completion
IB MYP Certificate

Community/School activities
Three Varsity Sports
100+ hours service last two years
Co-Founder winter running club
Active youth member at church
Young Life Club
Boy Scout for 9 years
IB DP Student
A bunch of other stuff like that

Letters of recommendations
They will be good because I have a great work ethic and am cooperative towards others.

Will I get in? I’m really worried because my school is really competitive. I am ranked high though (top 3% but that is all they tell you; technically my school doesn’t rank).

Hard to say without SAT/ACT scores, but even if you do well on those, you have listed a lot of top schools where many that do well do not get accepted due to all the high performing kids that apply. So it’s impossible to say if you will get in. But certainly, given very good SAT/ACTs, you are admit-able to all those schools, so plan to apply, but have a set of fits and safeties that you like too.

@Outofthenest I don’t really have a set in stone list of any schools within the 20%-50% acceptance rate on East Coast that I can afford. Any ideas?
