<p>SAT II's: 780 us history / 750 math / 750 literature</p>
<p>AP TESTS: 5 in us hist / 4 gov / 4 human geo/3 calc bc (4 ab subscore)/3 chem</p>
<p>GPA (weighted I guess): 3.94</p>
<p>Class rank (out of 350 people): 32</p>
<p>EC's: 3 years varsity volleyball</p>
<p>national honor society 4 years</p>
<p>Junior statesmen of america 4 years</p>
<p>Model united nations</p>
<p>Teacher and counsellor reccomendations: average to above average</p>
<p>Summary: I have pretty good test scores and an average gpa with weak to average EC's. I was just rejected flat out from wharton, and would like to know my chances to the ivies (columbia, dartmouth, brown , cornell, maybe even princeton and harvard and yale)</p>
<p>Also, academic honors: AP Scholar with distinction, national merit commended student, 800/700 clubs in my school, various athletic awards for varsity volleyball.</p>
<p>NOTE: I was also suspended once in sophomore year of high school hehe, this may be a crippling factor.</p>
<p>You should now be able to go to the individual school boards and see who was accepted/rejected/deferred in the EA round. It will be a sobering experience as you already know. Hopefully you will have your safety applications in the mail.</p>
<p>It will really come down to your essays and recs. Strong SAT, but so-so GPA, especially if your school isn't highly competitive. Weak ECs, no leadership,APs below ivy average. As I write, I think there really isn't much of a chance, but who knows, something in an essay or rec could pull you in to a lower ivy.</p>
<p>I forgot to add, I have had a job after school since the beginning of junior year, though it's meaningless work (cashier / stockperson/anything else that no one else wants to do). Also, a 4 on the AP Stat Exam.</p>
<p>Finally (I think), I have taken the most rigorous schedule possible that my school offers, for example, this year I'm taking Multivariable calculus, AP Physics, AP Computer Science, AP English Literature, and Latin V Honors (i couldn't squeeze in any more due to scheduling conflicts). </p>
<p>Anyone else have an opinion?? I appreciate it.</p>
<p>Your standardized test scores are quite impressive (besides the AP tests, which I don't believe count in admission anyways). I'm surprised you aren't ranked higher with those scores. Anyways, you're right, your EC's are a little weak, perhaps you can take up something important now to give the colleges a little more incentive to take you, because it's obvious you have growth potential. In addition, I am absolutely unqualified to make these types of opinions, so disregard this if you wish.</p>
<p>I don't really have an explanation for my GPA, other than getting some ridiculous grades in stupid classes (Driver's ed haha, also, going borderline in certain classes then falling apart at the end of the year). My grades are looking up though, as this senior year I got almost all A's (including some of the weighted classes).</p>
<p>It might be too late to get involved in EC's, as I hear colleges don't take too kindly to people loading up on them in senior year.</p>
<p>SAT is very good. ECs are not bad, but i agee. it might be the suspension that hurt. wharton is tough to get into though, so i'm sure you can get into an ivy</p>
<p>you Academic Index is pretty decent because of your scores, but the strength of your schools will have a lot to do with your admission. Look around, how are people with your rank doing overall? Your ECs dont make you stand out unfortunately.</p>
<p>As for schools HYP is a no go. They waitlist 1600 Valedictorians, which you aren't due to GPA. You have a very decent shot at Cornell, Dartmouth/ Brown/ Columbia will be a litle tougher but easily could get lucky with good Recs and Essays. I would forget HYP if I were you, and instead apply to three score focused schools ranked slightly after cornell. I would say Northwestern, WashU, and Rice or Emory would be good bets.</p>
<p>You have a great academic record. Part I of III completed. Now work on how you present you extra curricular record and personal qualities a bit more. Im assuming youre into Politics and International Relations with JSA and Model UN so expand on that. I also think essays have an amazing role in college admissions.</p>
<p>Hey Owneded, those scores are phenomenal. Your GPA might be below a 4.0 weighted but just barely, honestly it depends on how competitive your school is for GPA to hurt you. Playing a varsity sport and winning awards in that can be very helpful, but you should maybe do one or two more things to show your involvement in the community. Your academic record is great, and if you write strong essays, hopefully on your community involvement, I see no reason you shouldn't apply to the ivies (minus HYP) with some good feelings. I would also reccomend northwestern and Wash U also, because they love seeing high schores.</p>
