So I’m just a high school freshman with the following potential stats I may achieve up until 12th grade. I just want to set a threshold [goal??] for the rest of my high school journey. Thinking of applying to Ivies, MIT, Stanford, Duke and Caltech. What do you think based off my potential stats?

10th, 11th, 12th : perfect 4.0
Duolingo: 145-160 based off the practice test

AP Scores: Probably mostly 5’s and some 4’s in AP Lit, AP Physics 1 and C: Mech, Calculus BC, CSP, 2D Studio Art, Microeconomics, Psych, Chem, Stats

You have the same 2% chance that every other qualified international applicant has. Come back when you have real stats to update. In the meantime, research affordable safety options.

wonderful stats and i know how hard it is in india. Truely though IVYs are a hit or miss no matter how good the stats are since most applying have pretty similar stats. and ivys want to fill their class with a lot of geographical diversity. I would def look at some non ivys but amazing schools and still hard to get into like UMICH, georgia tech or UTaustin UCLA ,UC berkeley Good luck in your search.

Dang, your stats and ecs seem pretty solid. I’m a freshman in a selective magnet school and I don’t know anyone else in my school who has as good ECs so keep it up! As for your stats, I’d say come back once you have completed those, that way you have something more solid.
