<p>**4th place in NEW JERSEY MATH EXAM (not AMC-12)</p>

<p>AN ivy league school? pretty good. there are 8, and five of them aren't HYP. I would guess that you will get in to most of those. Harvard, Yale and Princeton, however, are different stories. I would call you a reach for all three of those schools.</p>

<p>however, I would like to take a moment to throw a hackneyed, but useful, piece of advice at you. don't go to a school for the name. find schools that fit you well as a person, some outside of the ivy league. Best of luck in your remaining highschool years, and enjoy the college admissions process.</p>

<p>i think you've got a pretty good shot at all of the ivies, minus HYP (just b/c they're the most random schools in terms of acceptance ever)</p>

<p>word of advice though, i'd leave the Who's Who stuff off. i've heard that prestigious colleges are turned off by it since it's not really an "honor" (a ton of ppl qualify for it, and you have to pay to actually be included) and view it as a "space filler" to plump up the application</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice. I know Harvard Yale and Princeton would be very hard to get into. How much do you think my chances to get into, say UPENN, would be if I were to Early D?</p>

<p>Also, my 2 major interests of path right now are Medicine and Business. (leaning towards medicine)</p>

<p>Also, my school no longer does class rank. Does that hurt chances? I know that many schools are not doing class rank anymore. And for honors/awards and such, I've been invited to many places but have not been able to go to many because of financial reasons. Is it advisable to still put down that i was invited/nominated?</p>

<p>These aren't important.</p>

<p>What about nominated to Presidential Classroom?</p>

<p>Also, I just got a notification today of possible induction into the National Honor Roll. They say once accepted, they can send your name and profile to any college/university of your choice. How reliable/valuable is this?</p>

<p>Lol.. the "National Honor Roll" means almost next to nothing. Just look at it's "Requirements.":</p>

<p>Students must be in high school or middle school.
They must have a GPA of B or better.
Involvement in extracurricular activities is a plus. </p>

<p>Stop going crazy over college admissions and including ever last possible little thing possible. </p>

<p>Leadership conferences, and all those little summer programs mean next to nothing in college admissions. Include some, but not all.. Having to depend on these little awards, shows weakness in your application. </p>

<p>Overall, your grades are fine, and scores are fine. Your EC's are lacking a bit, but you should be alright.</p>
