<p>Do I have a chance? Im thinking of doing a local project related to children and the hospital....any ideas as well?
And will I fail my ap's because of the rigorous course load?</p>
<p>Honestly I would say its hard to chance you without actually test scores and junior year grades. You may struggle in AP classes, some hardship may happen. You never know. I would say work hard this year and do what you can. Try to do something that will make you stand out among everyone else and can put on your application. Because you want to do premed try to get an internship in a lab?
Sorry I just find it hard to chance you because you are going to be a junior and so much is hypothetical.</p>
<p>Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1544406-chance-me-please-duke-notre-dame-johns-hopkins-etc-ill-chance-you-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1544406-chance-me-please-duke-notre-dame-johns-hopkins-etc-ill-chance-you-back.html</a></p>

<p>You have a strong shot at Cornell, u of Pennsylvania and Washington university of st.louis. All the other ivies will be reaches. You’ll have a better shot if you show leadership in you extra curricular s, and you will HAVE to maintain the 4.0 gpa, you would also have to show rigorous improvement as you progress through high school . You have a great number of AP classes and Extra curriculars, but like I said try to earn leadership positions. I also suggest that you take the sat test and aim for at least a 2200 , if you want to compete for these ivies , your act score must also be a 34 or more. Last but not least, you have to plan and write a unique and well written essay that points out who you are and what makes you different from other people. Good luck in the future!!!</p>
<p>For leadership positions, are the class secretary and director of activities too weak?
I’m trying to write an essay on how music has affected me to become a leader and grow…
And I think I’m going to try for nhs pres later on…
But do you have any other ideas?</p>
