Reasonable Shots?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am posting here with a slight amount of trepidation. College hunting has never been a primary concern throughout high school and has only become of significant interest to me here in Junior year. Most of my friend's SAT's have fell in the 1900-2100 range, and I wouldn't be shocked if mine did as well (I only just took them today). Seeing some posts here on this forum have been, to put it simply, slightly discouraging.</p>

<p>In either case, here are just some basic "stats" (I guess that's what they are called).</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 unweighted (I'm damn proud of this GPA, though I'm pretty sure I'll be getting some B's this semester, only two though I think).
I have taken no AP or honors classes up till this point, but I will be taking AP Calc BC and AP Environmental Science next year.
SATI: I predict somewhere in the 1900-2100 range (reading and math scores will be better than writing), but I won't know for sure for a little bit.
SATII: US History 710, Bio M 670.</p>

<p>ECs:
Teaching Assistant for 3 years at my Synagogue's Hebrew School and a Teacher for one year.
I was a member of a Jewish Youth Foundation Board, we dabbled in philanthropy, raised 25,000 one year, 60,000 the next. Gave it away in grants to various organizations.
A side-product of this was that I was selected to be on the National Advisory Committee (12 of us in total from all across the country) to plan the first ever National Jewish Youth Philanthropy Conference; it took place this spring and was very successful.
Chapter President of my school's JSA Chapter.
Lt. Governor of the state JSA (this actually pretty big).</p>

<p>I guess as for specifics, the schools I'd be asking about for chances are Georgetown, George Washington, Brandeis, Emory, Rutgers. Though really, I'm looking for any school, preferably on the east coast, that have good social science programs (US History, Politics). Something not too far from an urban center, and that generally has a nice feel to the campus.</p>

<p>Any advice is appreciated.</p>

<p>Most of those schools look like they fall in range except test scores might be a little low...
Question:
how have u never taken AP before and then next year you're taking Calc BC?</p>

<p>At my school the difference between AP and non-AP is really just that AP classes teach to the test. Anyone can sign up for them... and they aren't all that much harder than the non-AP classes. The program I am in at my school doesn't really encourage taking AP classes anyway. But I asked my math teacher what class he thought I should sign up for, and he told me that it although it would be hard, he thought I would be able to really succeed in Calc BC.</p>

<p>So I signed up.</p>

<p>ur lack of hard classes on your schedule is probably gonna hurt you a bit</p>
