High school: Highly competitive North East Boarding School</p>

<p>GPA: Grading system is weird. My grades are excellent though placing me within the top 10% and most likely 5%. </p>

<p>SATs:1470/2270
800 Cr, 670 M, 800 W</p>

<p>SAT IIs: English Lit- 690 (going to retake); US History - 800; Will take Math I expecting around 700</p>

<p>APs:

<p>My top choices are HYPS followed by Penn and Columbia, I am a double legacy at Stanford and a legacy at Penn. I am thinking Yale EA.</p>

<p>I consider Brown/Penn/Columbia to be reach/high match, HYPS reaches, Williams a reach/high match, Pomona high match, Johns Hopkins and Wash U match/safety. Applying to all of these schools I feel my chances are very high of getting into an Ivy or Stanford. </p>

<p>Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you</p>

<p>there is now way hopkins or wash u are safeties for you, and for that matter, anyone. while your grades and scores are solid, i do not see any standout EC. most kids getting into the schools you are applying to have your grades and scores and something completely crazy in terms of an EC or volunteering. however, You have a shot at every school, so good luck.</p>

<p>Honestly, people are this site aren't going to be able to help you very much. There is most data aggregated for kids from very competitive public scohols. Admissions w/ boarding schools (which one?) w/ all that politics, $$, legacies in play...really hard to tell. The person who'd know best is your admissions person at school, so you should try to work w/ them as much as possible to get answers. </p>

<p>It's not really an answer to your question, but just a caveat for feedback from this site.</p>
