<p>That is a very advanced track ! Hopefully you should make National AP scholar by end of Junior year. If you get your SAT score higher and SAT subject scores upwards of 700+ that puts you more in the running. I dont know much about crew varsity but if they are a big deal in the universities you are hoping for, that would be a plus. Not clear what community service you have done with your honor society. Hopefully you can show yourself as an interesting candidate past all the APs…and in the end, that is what will get you in. Have a key summer program that shows your interest (either academically or otherwise).</p>

<p>Your Math is very advanced …have you thought of AMC tests?</p>

<p>Woah, that’s pretty much all I have got to say. From the information you provided, any school would want you. Then again, you never know what the admission officer is thinking when they are reading your application. Keep on going down the track you are going and you are pretty much going to blow their mind.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your input!! It is very much appreciated! Please let me know if you would like a “chance me”!! :)</p>

<p>I forgot to include awards in case it has any bearing…
*Student of the year in math, English, and Spanish classes
*Virginia Pilot Scholastic Team
*Princeton Book Award Finalist (they haven’t announced the winners yet)
*some sort of AP Scholar
*Girl Scout Silver Award (90+ hours)
*excellence in volunteering award (over 150 hours of work at an aquarium)</p>

<p>You sound like an incredible applicant! You just need to find that one novel EC to set you apart. Maybe this will help: [Engineering</a> Education Service Center - Engineering Camps Directory](<a href=“http://www.engineeringedu.com/camps/va.html]Engineering”>http://www.engineeringedu.com/camps/va.html)</p>

<p>Thank you for the advice!! I will definitely check out those programs :)</p>

<p>Does anyone else have any suggestions to make my application stronger?? Thanks!!</p>

<p>Stanford, MIT, Cal Tech: Reach unless you can fly or win IMO or IPO.</p>

<p>Duke: Decent chances with ED, Reach with RD
UNC, UVA: Very good chnaces</p>

<p>Jesus. Yeah, I think you should get in. I mean, you could take osme subject tests too boost your app I guess. But you should be set…</p>

<p>You will get in almost without a doubt to CalTech and MIT (the others I am less familiar with). Both of those schools are actively looking for females with your qualifications. You have great scores, but more importantly, the course load shows a genuine passion and excel in mathematics. The research projects would help you immensely and keep the GPA up! chance me: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1270182-what-my-chances-mit-caltech-harvey-mudd.html#post13700756[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1270182-what-my-chances-mit-caltech-harvey-mudd.html#post13700756&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You are all kindsa in at UVA and UNC (I’m applying there too and you just made me feel inferior). You are likewise in at Duke and CalTech probably. MIT and Stanford are crapshoots, of course, but I have a hard time seeing how you could improve your application.
Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1268192-another-what-my-chances-post.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1268192-another-what-my-chances-post.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
