Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello, I'm a junior at a mid-size public high school (about a 1000 students). I have a 4.15 weighted GPA and a 4.0 unweighted. I took AP calc AB as a sophomore and recieved a 5 on the AP test. As a junior I am taking 4 more more ap classes. In total during highschool i will have 7 ap classes which include: calc AB, calc BC, english lang. and comp, english lit. and comp, chem, gov, and US history. I will take 9 Ap tests (my classes plus both physcs). I am also currently first in my class of 200+. I am also still waiting on my SAT scores but expect to score around a 2200.</p>

<p>What I'm really concerned about is my EC's. I have 4 years of football and weightlifting. I am a member of key club, dare, envirothon, my schools "trivia" team, and have 100+ hours of community service. I am not particually talented in any area besides math and science, and also haven't done anything outstanding with those.</p>

<p>I am going to apply to Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, U Chicago, and MIT, with OSU and Case western as fallbacks.</p>

<p>I was wondering what my chances are at any of these schools and just looking for feedback in general. So any comments?</p>

<p>CMU- Match
Cornell- High Match
UChicago- Match
MIT- Reach</p>

<p>Your GPA/rank are obviously very good. As you say, your EC's might hurt you a bit. Are there any math/science related clubs at your school? Can you gain a leadership position in any of your clubs? For SATs a 2200 is good, but may be a bit low for MIT since its so competitive. </p>

<p>Good Luck. :D</p>

<p>Yea, I realize MIT is a bit of a stretch, but it doesn't hurt trying.</p>
