<p>What are my chances of being accepted into an Ivy League school? It is possible for me to be accepted to Princeton, Yale, UPenn, or Harvard if I'm not extraordinary? I'm a good student who gets all As, and I take all honors or AP classes. I did well on PSATs and it is estimated that I will get at least a 2100 on the SATs. I come from a middle income family. So I figure my odds go down from that. I didn't fund an organization or
participate in an outstanding extracurricular activity. I am the captain of the tennis team, in honor society, and a couple other little clubs that I do not hold a leadership in.</p>
<p>The only thing that makes me somewhat different than every other person is that I 100% know what I want to do after college. I plan to become an orthopedic spine surgeon. I chose this because I have struggled with scoliosis most of my life and it is something dear to my heart that I will enjoy doing for the rest of my life. Thus, I have taken extra science courses in high school, and I am a science peer tutor. I also volunteered at a hospital over the summer to gain an understanding of the environment. I think I'm going to write my admissions essay about this because it is something I'm very passionate about. I want to help others who are going through what I went through because the orthopedic field is male dominated. Thus, as a female I will be able to make a difference because almost all severe scoliosis suffers are female.</p>
<p>However, I really do not believe this will make very much difference in my acceptance. I'm extradinary ordinary compared to many of the other applicants. Do I have a chance?</p>
