<p>Hi, just wondering if anyone could give me a rough estimate as to my chances at Columbia, Cornell, Amherst, Tufts, UMich-AA, UNC (instate), BU and BC</p>

<p>Currently a junior at a competitive private school, in top 20% seeing as how my school does not rank numerically</p>

<p>White Male, (but I'm also a first generation Croatian national, so dunno if thats worth anything)</p>

<p>Freshman Year: Took most competitve schedule offered to freshmen (Alg. 2, Honors and some seminar classes)</p>

<p>Sophmore Year: Took most competitve schedule offered to sophmores: (Honors English II, AP Stats)</p>

<p>Junior Year: I'm in all honors or AP's w/1 study hall (AP US, Honors Spanish IV, AP Chemistry, Honors PreCal, Honors English IV which means I'm taking the AP English Language test, and Honors Green Campus which is an application class that deals with environmental issues affecting our school)</p>

<p>Senior Year Schedule (tentative): AP Euro, AP Spanish, AP Comparative Gov., Political Issues, Honors Physics, AP Calc. BC, AP English, and a Study Hall</p>

<p>Overall GPA: UW: 3.7 W: 4.66 (i think?)</p>

<p>SAT: 680 M, 700 CR, 760 W (taking 2 more times)
PSAT: 219 selection index, so possible National Merit
Taking ACT next weekend and SAT II's in May</p>

<p>Columbia is probably a slight reach, but great chance at the others.</p>

<p>You're in. I may worry a bit about Columbia and Cornell. But you have a really, really strong chance. You seem like you're preparing yourself very well and know what you want. Don't rule out every other school. You may not find the one that's right for you in the obvious places, so keep your options open. Good luck and feel better from that surgery!</p>

<p>so, if i put all of this stuff together well, get good recs, write the kind of essay i'm capable of writing and get my SATs up then i do have some semblance of a chance at schools like Columbia or Cornell?</p>
