<p>Hey, I'm new here just wondering what my chances are for some schools with the following information:</p>

<p>I'm a Junior.
Class rank 18/519
GPA Weighted 4.96
GPA Unweighted 4.27
SAT First time taken: Verbal 650, Math 650 (need to improve terribly)
Courseload: Heavy (4 AP's senior year, 2 this year)
AP's taken: Calculus AB, Euro AP (next year: Spanish, Language, Biology, Gov)
Varsity Sports: X-Country, Swimming (Captain), Tennis (played JV)
Clubs: Academic Team, Key Club, Film Club, Mock Trial Team, Debate Team, Ultimate Frisbee, Environmental Club

<p>Thats about all I can think of. My top schools are:
University of Pennsylvania (stretch)

New York University
Cornell
Brown </p>

<p>THANKS</p>

<p>University of Pennsylvania (stretch) - Reach
Columbia - Reach
New York University - Reach
Cornell - Reach
Brown - Reach</p>

<p>Reach, Reach, Reach....REACH</p>

<p>Yeah, I'd say you probably need to find some better Match and/or safety schools because all of those are reaches with your current stats.</p>

4

<p>is it the sats?</p>

5

<p>how do you get a 4.27 gpa UW? isn't a 4.0 the maximum gpa w/o honors/aps?
I'd say Reach for all of them, match for NYU if u increase SAT</p>

<p>Er, NYU seems a match... Your SAT scores are right in the middle:</p>

<p>What kind of increase in the SAT's would be beneficial in helping my cause to get accepted to most of these schools?</p>

<p>Taking them in June so I don't have to be bogged down with SAT and AP's in the same month</p>

8

<p>just wondering, how do you get above a 4.0 UW?</p>

<p>anyways...</p>

<p>University of Pennsylvania (stretch) = High Reach
Columbia = High Reach
New York University = Low Reach
Cornell = Reach
Brown = Reach</p>

<p>NYU is a match if you don't need $$. Rank is low unless you go to an exceptional hs (average SAT above 1350 old), SATs need a substantial rise (200 points plus) and your ECs are weak for ivies.</p>

10

<p>A 200 point rise in the SAT... Uh a 1500 is a stretch coming from a 1300</p>
