Trying to Decide where to apply, chance me?

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I am a current Junior in High School a bit concerned about the college admissions process. I am a bit unsure of which schools to apply to and which ones I have a good chance at. My high school is nationally ranked in the top 100 and pretty competitive. My GPA is not excellent but I believe my extracurriculars to be pretty good. I plan to Major in Economics My stats are as follows</p>

<p>GPA: 3.7 (10-11), 3.6 (9-11)</p>

<p>WGPA: 4.0</p>

<p>SAT I: 700 Math, 700 CR, 700 Writing-2100</p>

<p>SAT II: 720- Math II, 770 Biology</p>

<p>AP's- 4 Spanish, 5 Biology, 5 Statistics</p>

<p>EC's:
- Eagle Scout;
- Head of National Honor Society of Boy Scouts (Order of the Arrow for those who know of it, our Lodge is around 200 members);
- Head of Finance for a Youth Group helping disabled Children;
- Vice President of our local Venture Crew;
- President and Founder of Investing and Finance Club at School
- Have an internship at a local company</p>

<p>Honors/Awards
-A Couple of Model UN Awards
- Scout of the Year 2011</p>

<p>I am currently looking at NYU, UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UCD, UCSB, Northeastern, Emory, USC, Carnegie Mellon, Wake Forest, Wesleyan, University of Rochester, and UMich (please do not feel obliged to comment on all of them, there are quite a few). I was considering applying to Cornell ED but I dont think I could get in regardless. Outside of the US, I am looking at applying to Oxford and LSE, if anyone has any experience with that? If you guys have any suggestions please comment, thanks! If you leave a link, ill get you back!</p>

<p>Thanks a bunch!

<p>NYU: REACH
UCB: REACH
UCLA: REACH
UCSD: MATCH
UCSB: MATCH
UCD: MATCH
NORTHEASTERN: SAFETY
EMORY: REACH
USC: LOW REACH
CARNEGIE MELLON: HIGH HIGH REACH
WAKE FOREST: HIGH MATCH
WESLEYAN: LOW REACH
U of R: SAFETY (dont know much about it)
U of M: HIGH MATCH</p>

<p>Try Penn State University Park (Smeal business school and possibly honors college if you apply); Cornell ED is a low reach to high match so give it a shot.</p>

<p>Eliminate a few reaches (carnegie mellon is WAY up there) and apply to a few more favorable matches and maybe one more financial safety.</p>
