My Chances of Getting into an Ivy League/Stanford

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am currently a junior and go to a school in Los Angeles. I want to know my chances of getting into an Ivy League and/or Stanford. Background information about me: I am Asian (Filipino specifically), low-income (less than $40,000 a year for 4 people), and I am currently ranked #2 out of about 430 people in my class. My unweighted GPA is 3.95 and my weighted is 4.25. Freshman year I took: H Biology, H Algebra 2, PE, Health/Life Skills, H Spanish 1, and H English 9. Sophomore year I took: Spanish 2, AP Environmental Science, AP Human Geography, H English 10, Math Analysis, AP World History, PE, and Photography. This year I am taking Spanish 3, AP US History, AP Calculus AB, AP Psychology, H Physiology, AP English Language, and a calculus supplement class that was mandatory at my school if you take AP Calc AB. Next year I am taking AP Statistics, AP US Government, AP American Literature, AP Art History, and AP Chemistry. I have had straight A's since 9th grade except for 2 B's: one in PE (I know it's embarrassing) and one in Math Analysis (all because of one test :/) I have taken the SAT's only once so far. This year I was too pre-occupied with studying for AP testing, that I winged the SAT's earlier this month. I received a score of 1680. I will be taking the subject tests for US History, Biology (E), and World History next week. For the October SAT's, I will actually study for it and hope to get a score higher than 2000 (my goal). I have been part of Key Club since 9th grade, I am currently vice president (and former secretary) of our school's chapter of the California Scholarship Federation (CSF), and I am also co-president (former treasurer) of Gear-Up, which helps mentor kids about college. I have been involved in student government since sophomore year. I am currently Publicity Commissioner for our school's Junior Class Officers (JCO) and I will be part of the Senior Class Officers (SCO) next year. </p>

<p>With all this being said, I want to know my chances of getting into a school such as Stanford, University of Chicago, or any of the Ivy Leagues. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :P</p>

<p>Most of your stats look good, but good god dude, *** is up with your SAT score? no offense, but a 1680 is horrible even for a lot of average colleges. Definitely try to raise that, and even though you can’t really study for it, I hope things turn out better when you retake it. A 2200+ would be preferable for ivies/stanford, but you should atleast for for 2100+. And a few of them like Stanford and Yale require that you send all your SAT scores. But other than that, your stats look pretty good. You have a great rank and gpa, and a strong course load. Your ECs are also fairly good, but then again, you never know with ivies and other top schools</p>
