Stanford (REA/RD?), Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth, UCB, UCLA, etc.

Your stats are pretty competitive for those top schools, besides your unweighted GPA (since schools not only look at what classes you’ve taken but also how well you’ve done in them). You do seem to have strong ECs but a lot of them. Remember, there are only 10 spots for ECs on the CA. I would say pick the ones that have impacted you the most and focus on those. Also, essays are a big chunk of the admissions decisions so put some time and thought into those as well. Other than that, I would say relax because you’ve done as much as you can up until now. It’s in the hands of the admissions gods now. Good luck!

I would say that Stanford and Columbia are your highest reaches, but you have a decent shot at all the other schools! The only concern that I would have is just having two humanities teachers write your rec letters. A lot of schools like to see diversity and a wide breadth of strengths, so even though it’s late, if you could get a STEM teacher who knows you well enough to add maybe even just a supplemental it would probably go a long way for more research-y schools like Stanford.

I’m not just saying this because of your reply to my post haha but I truly believe you have an amazing chance at Cornell, Washu, UCLA, Northwestern, USC & UCB (: In my opinion with your test scores and ecs, you should really apply early decision at Cornell. Good luck to you!

@intricateuropean Thanks. But what if I had 700 bio and 740 math 2 subject tests (I’m taking them this November so I’m just guessing the worst possible outcome) and I only have one 3 in APush for ap scores. Will this diminish my chances a lot?

Tb bump? Haha.
