<p>hi guys i am currently a junior at austin high school in Houston texas </p>
<p>These are my stats</p>
<p>3.6585 gpa
1354 sat
112/678
Student council soph and junior years
NHS
plays baseball and football
350 community service hours</p>
<p>these are the schools iam applying to
Southern Methodist University
Texas Christian University
UT austin
George washington U
Duke Univ.
Georgetown</p>
<p>Give me an honest answer on my chances good or bad.
thanks</p>
<p>i am not sure about the other schools but duke and georgetown may be a bit of a stretch. But, don't worry about it. If you don't get in, just think of it as their loss.</p>
<p>dont know too much about the other schools but id says GW is a good match but Gtown and Duke are reaches. Duke is extremely selective and that GPA is a little low</p>
<p>SMU - safety/match
TCU - safety/match
UT - reach/match (not in the top 10%)
GW - match
Duke - reach
Georgetown - reach</p>
<p>Would applying Early admissions help my chances?</p>
<p>you really wouldnt need it except for Duke and Gtown. i think it would increase your chances at Duke slightly and but not so much at Gtown. honestly i think you are like %10 for Duke depending on EC and essay and like 10-15% for Gtown same reason. The class rank and average is a killer no satII hurt as well</p>
<p>do yall think i would have a chance at NYU or university of chicago if i bring my gpa up to around 3.72 and a rank of about 100?</p>
<p>and how about UPENN? sorry i keep adding but im getting a little bit anxious</p>
<p>I belive UPenn is harder to get into than duke.</p>
<p>Its too hard to tell they are just so hard that it just varies from year to year once u get out of the HYP the next 5 or 6 are a crap shoot and really depend on the applicants</p>
<p>It'll be really hard for you to get into UT Austin because you're not top 10%, and you live in-state. With that rule, a lot of highly qualified Texans get turned down because the top 10% rule fills up so much of the class. The remaining spots mostly go to Texans with amazing other stats (1600 SAT score, for example) or out-of-state students for diversity purposes.</p>
<p>1354 on the SAT? is that possible? i thought the SAT is scored on like 10s. is there something i am missing? are u some person special that you get a special scale?</p>
<p>yeah, newbyreborn, you didn't know that? but for the reach schools, just pull up that SAT score to 1455+.</p>
