<p>Hi there,</p>
<p>I go to an elite public school (#1 or #2 in my state, it changes). I'm white, Catholic, wholly average in that respect. My GPA's not excellent, a 3.4 unweighted and a 3.7 weighted, but given my work this year, I'm expecting around a 3.9-4 by the time I apply. My school doesn't do class rank, but I would imagine top 25%. I took 3 honors and an AP last year, and two AP's this year, and plan on taking 5 or 6 next year.
I'm a junior, and I plan to take the SAT's in Jan/March/ Oct of my senior year if really, really necessary. Judging by PSAT scores, I'm expecting around a 21-2200. I got a 5 on AP Euro last year, expecting 5's on Gov/Econ/English Language and Comp this year. I'm an excellent writer, that's really my greatest strength, so essays would be great. My EC's:</p>
<p>Consistent work with my town's historical society, particularly with one man, so I could get a great rec from him.
Lots of community service.<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/....php?do=regfin%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/....php?do=regfin</a>
4 years on debate team, I'll get Vice President next year.
Amnesty International
Academic League
A political participation club
Lots and lots of tutoring hours from one club
Three week internship at a breast cancer lab at Northwestern Hospital.
This summer I'll either work with a NY prosecutor or do a course at Brown.</p>
<p>Colleges I'm thinking about:
Williams (I know this seems out of my reach, but I've got a hook-a guy who will write me a rec whose an incredibly distinguished alum)
UChicago (legacy-dad/aunt, and I'll apply EA)
Bowdoin (probably ED)
Bates
Skidmore
Colby
Vassar
Elon
American
Northwestern (aunt is a department head at the hospital, if that helps)
BU
BC</p>
<p>What are my chances? Also, any suggestions as to other schools?</p>
