Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey y'all. So as you can tell from the title I'm not a genius. To be honest, I've been incredibly lucky throughout my high school career, which to be honest is probably the only reason I'm ranked so highly. I've never done a science fair, never done extensive research with a Harvard professor. But anyway, here goes... (I'm applying to UPenn, Brown, and JHU; right now I'm interested in either finance, engineering, or psychology). </p>

<ol>
<li>GPA: 3.95, weighted is 4.7</li>
<li>Class Rank: As of now, #1</li>
<li>SAT: 2390 (yeah...don't know how I pulled that one out.)</li>
<li>SAT II's: 750 Math, 750 US History</li>
<li>Classes: AP Macro, AP Micro, APUSH, AP Lang, AP Physics, AP Calc AB (Junior)
(Senior): 6 AP's but don't feel like listing them all</li>
<li>Job/volunteering: Probably about 400 hours of community service, had a teaching job for like 4 years, made $40 an hour</li>
<li>Awards: All-Eastern/national orchestra, National prestigious writing competition, various awards given by school/presidential awards</li>
<li>Clubs: model un, newspaper,magazine, business club, orchestra, Spanish club</li>
<li>I'm also LGBT, doesn't mean anything but thought i'd just throw it out there...</li>
<li>Started a local art club that has many members, I lead it and give free art lessons to community kids, 5 years</li>
<li>ap scores: physics-3, calc-4, lang-5, apush-5, micro-5, macro-5</li>
</ol>

<p>JHU: Match (if you ED; high match if you don’t)
Brown: Reach
UPenn: Reach</p>

<p>If finance is your thing, you might want NYU Stern; for psychology/engineering, UMI.</p>

<p>Thanks, my dream school is upenn…do you guys have any advice how to present myself as an attractive applicant to them</p>

5

<p>OP: You have incredible chances at all those schools. Good luck!</p>

6

<p>Let me know if being lgbt helps…
Please. Haha as so am i</p>

7

<p>Thanks Beatles!!:))</p>

8

<p>How do I present myself
So as to be attractive to brown?</p>

<p>Girl I will have you know that I am chancing you even though on my thread you just posted a link to yours instead of actually chancing me. Hmph. It’s all good though. Okay so I think all of those schools are attainable. Like other people have said, the Ivies are unpredictable. Otherwise I think that you could get into all three. As far as presenting yourself, literally the best advice is to be yourself. At this point you’ve already done everything you can do so you just have to hope that your personality will win them over via essays and supplements. Peace be with you.</p>

<p>I’m sorry hehe, but I just read your stats and you never mentioned your class rank, but you seem like NYU is a match for you while Columbia is a slight reach; depending on the strength of your essays.</p>

11

<p>Also does anyone have any recommendations for suitable schools for me given my stats?</p>

12

<p>Perhaps the OP’s high school is non-ranking…</p>

13

<p>Are you male or female? If female, apply to Cornell Engineering, their female acceptance rate is like 50%.</p>

<p>Less reachy schools: Notre Dame, Emory, Rice, NYU, UVA/UNC/Mich/UCLA OOS.</p>

14

<p>Does anyone have any advice as to how I could improve my chances? Any Brown alumni/current students?</p>

15

<p>Dude quit bsing. Ofc you’re a genius, or you wouldn’t have gotten a 2390</p>

16

<p>any brown ppl have advice for me?</p>

17

<p>Ivies are all reaches, you’re smart enough to know that. But, I’d say you have as good a chance as anyone to get in provided you don’t majorly screw up in high school. I wish you had provided more information; then I could have assessed you a little better.</p>

<p>But as far as the ivies, the ones you listed seem to be the most likely to take you. </p>
