<p>Here's the rundown:</p>
<p>I'm in the top 8-10% of my class, which is an all-honours program. I take the hardest courses possible, and will have completed Cal I+II and Linear Algebra (near the top of the class in all three) by the time I matriculate (if I am accepted)--just mentioning that since I know that Wharton (my 1st choice) likes students with strong math backgrounds. Meanwhile, my SAT was 730v, 690m when I took it 2.5 years ago, and from the practice tests and tutoring I've been doing recently, I should score between 2150-2300 on the new SAT...as for SAT IIs, I should score about 730+ on Literature and 700+ on Math IIc.</p>
<p>As for the more marginal stuff, I have an 89% average (I'm Canadian, so an 89% in Canada is worth about a 3.8 UW in American terms), albeit with a very nice upward trend for the last three years. My ECs are pretty good (3-4 solid leadership positions for 3 years, and some peripheral stuff like local music scene activities).</p>
<p>My essays and recommendations should be stellar--I am a good essay writer (I got into UChicago last year, but turned it down to finish my Canadian program) and I have an excellent repore with my teachers (not to mention good grades with those writing the recs).</p>
<p>In order of personal preference, what are my chances at these schools, and my overall chances of getting into at least one:</p>
<p>Wharton
Penn
Columbia
Dartmouth
NYU-Stern
Northwestern
Amherst
Swarthmore
UC-Berkeley</p>
