soon-to-be junior chances

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello. I'm going to be a junior in a high school. I don't have many stats for one to base an accurate decison on any college but here goes:</p>

<p>I'll avoid freshmen year grades mainly because many school choose to ignore these grades anyways. I'll say this, though; I took all honors classes and got straight A's with the exception of B's in 2-3 semesters of bio and lit.</p>

<p>Sophomore Year: (Grades-Semester1/Semester 2)
Hnrs World Literature and Compostion- B+/A-
Hnrs Gemoetry(highest geometry available)- A/A+
Hnrs Chemistry-A/A
Spanish 3- A/A
AP World History- B+/A
Exam:5</p>

<p>Junior/Senior Year- I am going to continue all hnrs courses with AP classes.
AP's the next two years:</p>

<p>Chem
Calc BC
English
Spanish
APUSH
Physics
either Biology or Stats</p>

<p>I recently got my scores back for the practice ACT and got a 33
Science-36
Math-35 (1 pre-algebra question wrong!!)
English-30
Reading-29</p>

<p>Oh yeah, EC's: (counting Jr./Sr.)
SchoBowl-2 years JV, 2 years V)
Math Team-3 years(I scored the highest individually at my regionals, if that means anything)
Baseball-1 yr.
Tennis-3 yrs.
I have other mathematics awards and hope to get involved voluntarily in the near future.</p>

<p>I'm sorta undecided, but I am most likely going to major in Chemical Engineering or Astrophysics, including related fields I still have to look into.</p>

<p>Any feedback on admission status at Ivies(mainly Columbia), Caltech, Stanford, MIT, these types of schools would be great. I have other reaches and safeties in mind, but I didn't feel the need to ask my chances at these schools.</p>

<p>Believe me, I know it is hard to make an accurate conclusion when looking at my limited stats. All I ask is that those who have a good amount of knowledge regarding admission at certain schools give me an educated response and I will be very thankful.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance,
Adam</p>

<p>Unless you have some really good science related EC's, you are probably out of luck with MIT. A lot of kids get rejected from MIT with better stats than it looks like you'll end up with because their science EC's weren't good enough. I think your chances at Stanford are also rather low :(. I would focus on lower Ivies like Brown and Cornell where you will be more competitive. I don't know anything about Columbia, so I can't help you there. My advice is to get straight A's from here on out.</p>

<p>If you can be the math team captain, it will increase your chance at MIT.</p>

<p>Every single Math Team captain from my school gets into MIT. But then again, I'm in MA...</p>

4

<p>The quality of math teams varies greatly among different schools. Do you have any AMC 12 or AIME scores that might give us more of an idea about your math skills? Also, where are you from?</p>

5

<p>i got the best score in my school on the AMC 10 this past year...my score was better than the highest score of every other grade level-fr. jr. sr., i think it was in the 110's</p>

<p>this is unrelated to what i just posted, but im also first-gen</p>

6

<p>and does anyone know anything about Columbia-the Fu Foundation of Engineering?</p>

7

<p>I don't know anything about it.</p>

8

<p>anyone know about it?</p>
