<p>At a very competitive (multiple kids going to mit/harvard, acceptances to oxford and most of the ivies) small public high school in the north east </p>

<p>I take mostly honors classes whenever available (AP Chem/Eng next year). Had one D in honors alg 2 ( currently working on that being changed, class was a catastrophe, stayed after every single day for help with teacher)</p>

<p>Very strong ADHD. 131 Verbal IQ (just trying to give you a feel for the type of student I am)</p>

<p>650 Math and English on PSATs, top 5% nationally</p>

<p>Just had my 504 processed, will have extra time/possible access to computer for SATs</p>

<p>You seem to have a pretty good list of colleges for your credentials. With the exception of Northwestern, Colby, and perhaps UCSD if youre out of state, I’d say the rest are pretty good matches. However, you will want to work on your extracurriculars. Involve yourself deeply in something you’re passionate about. That’s what sets certain students apart from others. Good luck!
Chance me back?</p>

</p>

<p>wha… you mean you can look up definitions and stuff?
And how do you have ADHD with a 131 IQ? Just curious</p>

<p>No, just for the writing section of it. bsmd11</p>

<p>I suffer in executive function, not in verbal processing. My GAI and FISQ are lower, but I digress</p>

<p>You seem to have a strong chance for most of the schools you listed. As the above poster stated, you will want to get involved in more extracurriculars this and your senior year. Also, if you can, try and raise your unweighted GPA up a bit so you can have a stronger chance at schools such as Northwestern and USCD.</p>

<p>Chance me?

<p>You seem to have a solid list. However, Northwestern is just too big of a reach to have on your list. Bard will also be a big reach as well. The other schools seem plausible. Good luck with the application!!!</p>

<p>Please chance back. My thread is “Review my List… Please”</p>
