Please Chance Me (A Junior, But Definitely Nervous)!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I was wondering if you would be able to chance me for any of these universities and possibly give me advice as how to better prepare myself (in terms of college apps and meeting requirements and all). Here are my stats:</p>

<p>-3.96 GPA (I calculated it myself--my school doesn't calculate GPA, so it might be a tad off.)
-I haven't taken the SAT yet, but I got a 182 on my PSAT (with very little, if no studying). I'm aiming to get a 2000 or above when I take the SAT this winter (do you think I'll be able to reach my goal)?
-APs: Calc AB, French, Biology (Possibly Environmental Science, English, Statistics, and Psychology for senior year)
-Extra-Curriculars: Teach three to five year-old children at church, Interfaith program, Diversity Club at my school, Interfaith Club at my school, Tutoring (at my school and elsewhere), (Student) Ambassador (give tours at my school), School's Newspaper, Summer Engineering Program, Mentor for Summer Engineering Program (summer after I was an actual student), Drama Productions at my school (acting and tech), Tennis, Assistant to Middle School Tennis Coach</p>

<p>Right now, I'm interested in Public Health, as well as Psychology and English (Literature).</p>

<p>So, how do you think I'd fare if I applied to these universities:
-New York University (currently my top choice--the others that follow are in no real particular order)
-Brown University
-Barnard College
-Northeastern University
-Boston University
-University of California (Berkeley or Los Angeles)
-University of Southern California
-Brandeis University
-Regis College
-Tufts University
-University of St. Andrews (Scotland)
-Wellesley College
-University of Massachusetts (Amherst)
-Johns Hopkins University
-George Washington University
-Washington University in St. Louis
-Georgetown University</p>

<p>I'm sorry for the extensive list--I'm really just looking for an honest opinion. I would love to enter the college process with an honest and accurate view of where I currently stand amongst the other students who are currently in their Junior year of high school.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Happy Holidays!</p>

<p>you’re aiming too low with your scores if you want to get into the likes of brown, jhu, wustl, etc. i would say aim higher, do more preparation, it can’t hurt. at your current state, i’d say your looking at umass and northeastern level schools.</p>

<p>best of luck </p>

<p>Is the GPA unweighted or weighted?</p>

<p>@Sameer1 My GPA is unweighted (sorry for not mentioning that earlier). Thanks for all of the replies! They were all really helpful! :-)</p>
