Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm going to be a senior this year, and I'd like to see what my chances are. I won't be looking for financial aid if that means anything, and I'm an Asian male. I'll be applying to:
Washington University in St. Louis- ED
Vanderbilt
Duke
Northwestern
UChicago
Notre Dame
Michigan (Ann Arbor)
Illinois (Champagne-Urbana)
Stanford
Wisconsin (Madison)</p>

<p>GPA Cumulative- 3.58 uw/4.19 w, somewhere between 15%-20% in my class
Freshman GPA- 3.39 uw/4.12 w (Honors Physics, Honors Geometry, Honors World History, Honors Spanish 2)
Sophomore GPA- 3.70 uw/ 4.04 w (Honors biology, honors algebra 2/trig, AP US History[5])
Junior GPA- 3.60 uw/ 4.34 w (AP Lang[5], AP European History[5], AP Compsci[4], Honors Chem)
Senior year, I will be taking AP Calc AB, AP Physics C, AP Economics, AP Lit</p>

<p>I'm at one of the top public schools in Illinois</p>

<p>I attended the Stanford High School Summer College, where I earned a 3.45 GPA in a biology lecture and general psychology</p>

<p>ACT- 35 (35 E 34 M 34 R 35 S)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars</p>

<p>A great deal of my ECs are in music. I'm a violinist, playing concertmaster at both of my schools orchestras, and I participate in one of the top ranked youth orchestras in the midwest. I performed a solo during my junior year, and will most likely perform another one this year with my school. I also do occasional gigs at my church and an elementary school in an underprivileged area. For my school, I played in the pit orchestra during my sophomore and junior year, putting in about 50 hours each year</p>

<p>I tutor 4th and 5th graders every Thursday at the elementary school mentioned above</p>

<p>This summer, I volunteered at the courthouse for a federal judge and a non-profit, totaling about 50 hours for the judge and 100 for the nonprofit</p>

<p>I ran cross country freshman and sophomore year, and track as a freshman</p>

<p>I began chess club and science club during my junior year, and plan to continue going</p>

<p>Sophomore year I lead a small group of 8th graders, and sophomore and junior year I lead a small group of 3rd graders for my church's elementary school program</p>

<p>Recs</p>

<p>One of my teacher recs will probably be alright, one will be excellent. I'm also getting one from the federal judge I volunteered for, and one from the non-profit I volunteered at.</p>

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!</p>

<p>I took the bio subject test and got a 680, but I’m not sure if I want to report that. I’ve taken 8 honors and 4 AP classes so far. My school is pretty difficult, so that’s a very hefty courseload that exceeds around 95% of my class</p>

<p>So Duke RD with its 9% acceptance rate is a low reach but WUSTL ED with its 30+% acceptance rate is a reach? Are you trolling or are you really this ignorant?</p>

<p>Your ACT is very good while your GPA is not. That would hurt your chance at some schools.
What is your intended major? I assume you are not going to engineering or business but just LAS.</p>

<p>Duke - Low reach
Northwestern - Low reach
UChicago - Reach
Notre Dame -Low reach
Michigan (Ann Arbor) - Low reach (poor GPA)
Illinois (Champagne-Urbana) - Low match (in state)
Stanford - Reach
Wisconsin (Madison) - Low match</p>

<p>I’m currently undecided. I’ve been considering either biology or business, but I will most likely apply to LAS and may switch to business later down the road if possible. I’ll also be declaring a minor in music performance. Also, what is my chance for WashU? Thanks so much for your help</p>
