Please tell me what you think

<p>I'm only a junior now. Please tell me your thoughts on how to improve.
I want to go to Columbia and Penn the most.</p>

<p>4.5 Weighted GPA
4.0 Unweighted GPA
I have AP Chemistry this year, expecting a 3 on the exam.
Next year I will take AP European History, AP Stat, AP Calculus <----Will the colleges still see these classes even though it will be my senior year?</p>

<p>EC's (included what I will have in twelfth grade)
Varsity Swimming, two years. (9-10)
Interact club, one year. (10)
Robotics club officer, two years. (11-12)
Academic team, three years. (10-12)
Math Honor Society/ Mu Alpha Theta officer, then president. Three years. (10-12)
National Honor Society (contemplating becoming an officer). (11-12)
I volunteered two summers. (9-11)
Tutor once a week, three years. (10-12)
(Only Spanish I and II)</p>

<p>Scores
SAT: Took it once, probably around an 1800 the first time. Definitely need to improve here.</p>

<p>What I am most concerned with is having enough AP classes and unique EC's. I am also afraid the bulk of my academics come in twelfth grade, and that colleges look at grade eleven mostly. Thank you for consideration.</p>

<p>You have a good shot at Columbia, but Penn is probably a reach unless you get your SAT score up.</p>

<p>I’d say reach for both schools. Unless you break at least 2200 on the SATs then maybe it might raise your chances.</p>
