my stats

<p>I'm a junior at Stuyvesant High School (top publicly-funded high school in the nation) in New York City, NY. Right now, I'm looking at a 92.1 percent average. However, considering the institution at which I study, every class here is honors equivalent somewhere else, and most of the classes are taught on a college basis, regardless of AP label or not. My extracurriculars are decent, I'm a member of several school clubs, publications and whatnot (Cure the Kids, Red Cross, Digital Photography, secretary and president of Muslim Students Association, SPARK, etc.) I have taken 5 biology elective courses which were mostly college level intro courses. A benefit I have is having taken two languages in high school, one to Regents level (Spanish) and the latter as an intro college course (Arabic). My dream school is Harvard, but I know many exceptions to the Harvard rule: some kids with meager averages and decent ec's get in, while valedictorian varsity crown champs get rejected.</p>

<p>What are my chances at Harvard? At my school (and I've been told and reassured this), NYU is a safety, and I'm also looking at Cornell, Columbia and Penn State. If Harvard is too unrealistic, I will early decision Dartmouth.</p>

<p>isn't it a bit late to early decision dartmouth?</p>

<p>He's a junior.</p>

<p>What are your standardized test scores?</p>

<p>well right now, i havent taken official SAT per se, only practice, where i run about 2100 (three months ago, i've probably improved since), i plan to take it in april 06. to anyone who can help me project my chances at harvard, assume three things: i get a 2400, i get a 2250+, or that i get a 2000.</p>
