<p>Well thats not as in-depth as my resume but it should give a general idea. My school is pretty well known by colleges as being very competitive. Each year several students are accepted to Ivies. I'm trying to go for the whole political science approach as you can probably tell from my clubs.</p>

Boston College
Villanova

Colgate
Gettysburg</p>

<p>Safeties:

<p>Also, I have what is considered a rising grade trend since freshman year. Marks have been good fairly consistently through sophomore year.</p>

<p>I'd say that your list should have better schools. Judging your scores and GPA, it seems that other people on your level are applying to the Ivies.</p>

<p>But also, is your GPA (3.9) weighted or is that unweighted? Makes a big difference..</p>
