<p>I am from California, and have been tracking what type of student athletes Stanford usually takes. As an athlete myself, I know Stanford looks for grades first, not athletics. (This is the case for the Women's soccer team. I know this for a fact.) You are going to be the valedictorian of your school which is definitely really good. Stanford wants the cream of the crop people obviously. I am a little concerned about your AP scores.
English Lang-3 (basic comprehension of the material)
The SAT II Scores are low as well.
MATH II : 710 (but prolly around 740-770 after December's test), and Chemistry (670, will not retake)</p>

<p>USC-Match
Stanford- Big Reach
Yale- Big Reach
Princeton- Big Reach
Harvard- Big Reach
UPenn (College and Wharton)- Big Reach
UChicago- Big Reach
MIT RD- Big Reach
UCLA- Match
UCB- Match</p>

<p>You have some ambitious goals here. If you want to get into the Ivy's, I would consider stepping your ball game up and trying to get recruited, because on grades alone it's going to be hard.
Best of luck!</p>

<p>HYPS only if you get recruited. You really should know by now if your on coach lists. Those schools take the big majority of their athletes ED/EA.</p>

<p>If you're almost good enough for Div 1, you should be eagerly recruited by D3 schools. I'd put some focus on the top ones.</p>

5

<p>Do not want to play D3 Basketball, and I do not like the feel of uber-small schools (hence, good sized schools on list). Secondly, how dang high do my test scores have to be? Isnt a 34 equivalent to like a 2290 or something?</p>

6

<p>Bump it up..</p>

7

<p>About 1510/1600 CR + M.</p>

8

<p>Bump again</p>

9

<p>according to a few conversion charts ive seen, 34 ACT = around 2280-2330 on the SAT...so its not exactly a simple percentage conversion</p>

10

<p>Your only shortcoming is AP scores. SATs don't matter as your ACT is really good.</p>

<p>Stanford- decent chance
Yale - slim chance
Princeton-slim chance
Harvard-slim chance
USC (Merit-scholarship)- in, good chance for scholarship
UPenn (College and Wharton) - decent chance
UChicago -in
MIT RD- decent chance
UCLA-in
UCB-in</p>

11

<p>For schools such as Yale and Penn, should I only submit my ACT score? And when I self report my AP scores, should I include English or just leave it off?</p>

12

<p>How many AP's does your school offer? If it offers many, you probably should have taken more.</p>

<p>And your SATs are a bit low for some of those schools....</p>

<p>but your 1/715!!!! status is very very impressive.</p>

<p>Just sending the ACT's seems to me to give you a fairly decent chance at most of your schools..??</p>

<p>Our school offers 12 AP classes, so taking 8 is pretty good. World History AP was not offered when I was a sophomore (world history is a sophomore class at our school), I had to take Physics I before Physics II so that's why I am taking that as a senior. The only AP class I really could have taken that I didn't is Biology AP, because Art History and Psych AP are worthless APs in my opinion. So with 12 offered, 8 AP classes isn't bad in my opinion, especially since the most taken by any kid at our school was 9. Taking more than 4 in my junior year would have been an impossibility because of scheduling conflicts. I know I am not up to the level of some of the AP students on this website, but it is really hard when I'm working on basketball a good 30 hours a week. By the way, in terms of basketball, I am a rising senior so the recuriting is coming in real late. I sat most of last year, backing up a former Gatorade Player of the Year, on a team taht was ranked at one time 15th in the nation.</p>
