<p>Hi,
I'm a high school junior from Illinois and I'm freaking out at the prospect of applying to schools next fall. I have a couple of schools in mind and I'd like it if some chances me.
3.902 GPA Weighted
School Type: Private Catholic College Prep School (one of the best in Illinois)
Rigor of Classes: By end of high school will have taken 5 APs and majority of my classes are honors. (APs are hard to take at my school)
Clubs: Football 4 years (3 Varsity letters), Basketball 1 year, Tech Club 2 years, International Relations Club 2 years, National Honors Society, and a Spanish Tutor for 2 years, founded Business/Economics Club
Leadership: I've volunteered for 100 hours, football captain sophomore year and senior year
Test Scores: 30 ACT
Recs: Will be very good

I want to major in biology or chemistry.

<p>If your weighted GPA is 3.9, after having taken 5 APs, I’m assuming that your UW GPA is around 3.6. Correct me if I’m wrong. Anyway,</p>

Minnesota Twin Cities - High match
Brown - No chance
University of South Carolina (main campus) - Low match
Duke - No chance

<p>My advice: standardized tests - I know it can be hard but pull something higher on the ACT, or possibly SAT. demonstrating knowledge in a subject with the SAT II can always help. About brown… I know someone who got in with 1800s SAT although she was international. However, its imperative that you get those scores up.</p>
