<p>Your GPA and rank is fine. SAT is ok, but not good enough for Harvard.
If you had had a better leadership position, it would be more helpful. Use your senior year well. TRY TO BE active leader in your school.
Your chance is below average, but good luck~~</p>
<p>I'd think that he has an average chance. He doesn't show much passion in anything. He's a typical good student in a school, not the extremely "fabulous" ones that HYP seem to seek.</p>
<p>I think you have a shot. Keep working on your extracurriculars and try to really devote yourself to something this year. Do activities you really want to do and your passion will show through them.</p>
<p>u are qualified.......but u need to distinguish urself thats how ppl get into HYP at that level they accept one person and reject his/her 10 clones so its pretty random but again u are qualified</p>
<p>can you make something that seems to have unique potential out of your foreign language talents? Being trilingual is different than being generally good at all things so far attempted. Can fluency be a source of a great short essay about you, are you also in a family that crosses two or three cultures? Find something that makes you look self directed and able to think outside the box...are you a closet composer, do you want to play violin at the college level? Nothing wrong with an Ivy application if your heart is in it but do read Harvard Schmarvard to open you mind up to the potential at many of our top 35-50 LACs and Universities. There are great professors and resources at many other schools in the USA, and many of the top 20 schools have a surplus of applicants with your stats, some of whom are overlooked at admissions for reasons that are never clear. Make sure to get emotionally attached to two or three schools where you are near the top quartile, visit and write essays that are school specific and come from your heart. Ivys are not predictable and also not the only schools with wonderfully diverse peer groups, interesting towns and teachers eager to teach motivated kids like yourself.</p>
<p>As far as the stats that you've mentioned, you're in the running at Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. Make sure to work on your essay because that may be used to distinguish your from the thousands of other qualified applicants.</p>
