<p>Hey... I'm currently a senior and im either planning to apply to Harvard (EASC) or UPenn (ED).</p>
<p>Based on my stats, rate my chances of getting into these schools as well as other ivy leagues and UC Berkeley/LA.</p>
<p>Academic GPA (10-12): 4.26 (Weighted) 3.52 (Non Weighted)
(9-12): 4.25 (Weighted) 3.53 (Non Weighted)</p>
<p>Scores:
PSAT: 237, national merit semifinalist presently, applying to be a finalist
SAT1: Math 800, Verbal 770, Writing 770, Total 2340
SAT2: US Hist 800, Math 2C 800, Biology Eco 800</p>
<p>5 AP tests all 5. Expecting to take 5 more in May 2006.</p>
<p>My school doesnt rank but i think im around top 10%-25%. So something around 15%-20% percentile based on GPA. I've actually gotten alot of B's tho... take a look at my unweighted GPA.</p>
<p>However, my high school is a magnet tech school ranked #2 in the nation. Therefore, classes are substantially harder than in other schools.</p>

<p>====================================</p>
<p>There... so based on those stats (and considering a SLIGHTLY above average essay)... would i be better off applying EASC to Harvard or ED to Penn?</p>
<p>I would very much wanna go to harvard more, but there's no point "wasting" my single choice applying to a college i dont have much of a chance in. ED in Penn gives me a better chance i think, but i dont know my chances in either college with my present stats.</p>
<p>Colleges im applying to:</p>
<p>Columbia
Stanford
Duke
UCLA
UC Berkeley
Harvard
U Penn
Yale
UCI</p>
