<p>If anyone has any experience or input on my chances of getting accepted into any of these colleges, please let me know! Here are they colleges:
Washington University in St. Louis
Stanford University
Brown University
Cornell University
Rice University
Carnegie Melon University
Amherst College</p>
<p>Here are some things about me:
GPA (weighted): 4.35
Class Rank: 8 out of 650 (top 2%)
I am a junior and haven't taken the SAT yet, but scored in the 96 percentile on the PSAT.
Member of: a rigorous marching band, concert band, national latin society, national society of high school scholars, latin club.
I am a girl scout (11 years), with a bronze, silver, and gold award.
I have been taking piano lessons for 8 years.
I went to state with my brass ensemble and we earned 1 ratings (highest rating).
I have received a special academic award 3 years in a row.
I will be inducted into the National Honor Society this spring.</p>
<p>SATS and essays are important in the process.
Your GPA/rank is solid and your ECs are good, but make sure to have leadership positions.</p>
<p>I would say you have a solid chance at everywhere but the Ivies and Stanford (and a better chance at Cornell, its not quite a reach) but then again, it really depends a lot on how you do on your SATs.</p>
<p>Keep up your grades and you should be a solid applicant :)</p>
<p>ec are not well rounded, but i guess that doesnt matter too much, you look like a typical applicant to these school, but these colleges need something that makes you STAND OUT</p>
<p>but your stats put you in the competitive range for these schools</p>
<p>Wow! You’re very much like me (I’m a junior too), I’m litterally in love with Washington University in St.Louis. I’ll try to go through the schools one by one so bear with me haha. A 96 percentile in each PSAT section transfers to a rough 2180-2220 on the SAT or a bit better, so I’ll use that to guage you. Assuming you score above a 2200 on the SATs, I’d say you’d have a very good shot at all of these schools and more than a chance for Brown. Be sure to write a wonderful essay and try to make your personality shine. You definetly have what it takes. Latin is also a wonderful language to study, be sure to mention your achivements in Latin, it’s not something that a lot of people have. I take spanish and latin lol. Also, once you get inducted into the national honor society, consider running for an executive office. It helps a lot, believe me.</p>
<p>Washington University in St. Louis- reach
Stanford University- Low reach</p>
<p>Brown University- (cannot chance). I’m terribly sorry, it’s a pet peeve of mine. In my sincere opinion, chancing for high ivy leagues is counterproductive. Brown can go either way, and I really don’t want to lead you in the wrong direction especially since I don’t know what your major’s gonna be. But once again, go for it, write an excellent essay, and be sure to make your personality shine!</p>
<p>Cornell- Low Reach
I’m being optimistic here, cornell’s one of the easier ivies to get into, and I think, based on your current stats, that you have an excellent chance.</p>
<p>Rice University- High Match/Low reach
Carnegie Melon University- Reach</p>
<p>Amherst College- Mid Reach
Sorry for being a bit harsh lol, but the main problem I see here is that Amherst likes to have a very athletic student body. You have no sports ECs, but don’t let that hold you back. Go for it =D</p>
<p>Hey!
I’m also considering a list of schools similar to yours (“top” schools) and WUSTL is also at the top of my list. Do you think it’s more competitive to get into Washington University this year than last? I’m kinda worried (I’m also planning on applying to Stanford too).
By the way, I think you are a match for all of your schools.</p>
<p>I’m guessing like at most schools, WUSTL will be at the same competitiveness/ more competitive than it was last year. Thanks for the encouragement, and I hope you get into your choice schools!</p>
