<p>Your academic stats are very good and on the right track for top tier schools. Work on getting up your weighted GPA though. Your ECs are also very impressive with a nice mix of variety and leadership positions. You are qualified for top-25 schools for sure.</p>

<p>My thread (chance back please): <a href=“Chances for Vanderbilt, UNC, NYU, UF, and Duke? - Chance Me / Match Me! - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1610985-chances-for-vanderbilt-unc-nyu-uf-and-duke-p1.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>thanks @sloth83 my gpa is actually 2.8 right now…but after 11th gr is over…my gpa will for sure be 3.0…and when i apply for college i will use a 3.0/4…hopefully i will MAX my classes in 12th gr first semester so tht i can boost my mid year report’s GPA!!! THANKS</p>

<p>Actually i read your app wrong the first time. Your unweighted GPA really isnt good enouh for top tier colleges, and you test scores wont really make up for it…</p>

5

<p>your sat, act, and sat II scores are different from your last thread</p>

<p>Good test scores and EC’s but GPA needs work. Even with perfect scores, EC’s and GPA, Harvard is a reach for anyone. You need to improve that GPA for any chance for top tier schools which are is small. Make sure you have at least 2 good safeties to balance out any reaches when you apply.</p>

<p>A few things:

  1. You are not URM
  2. Harvard is absolutely out of the question
  3. You need to be mostly looking at schools that accept greater than 50% of applicants.
  4. What kind of Texas high school has no guidance counselors?</p>

<p>GUYS look at his other thread his stats totally changed. Obviously a ■■■■■</p>

9
