What are my chances? Any advice?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello,
I am a rising sophomore starting in September and one of my biggest goals is to get into an Ivy League school, but if I am honest I am perfectly happy if I had a chance to get into great schools like Duke, Vanderbilt, and Johns Hopkins. How are my chances looking? I would really appreciate if I got advice on what to do these last two years I have before applying e.g. Summer programs, awards to aspire for, extra curriculars...</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0833 (only two honors available freshman year--English and Geometry)
Sophomore year load: Advanced Spanish II, Wind Ensemble, Chemistry Honors, Biology Honors, Algebra II Honors, Latin IV Honors.
EC's: volunteering at local hospital once I am eligible at age 16, looking to attend UVA summer volunteering program, looking to attend Latin Gov School, shadow general surgeon.
Clarinet player (12th chair all honors symphonic band--only freshman in group, 6th chair all-area, 2nd chair in class), played in pep band at football games.
Model UN, NHS, Interact Club (hoping to be executive in later years), Latin Club.
Invited to attend Youth Leadership Program at local college, National Latin Exam gold medalist, CAV Latin Tournament honorable mention(there were no first, second, or third places received), won World Geography and Latin III academic awards.
Played JV/Varsity lacrosse freshman year, going to play tennis instead starting sophomore year-senior.
I have a legacy at Yale University and Cornell.
I am of Asian/Indian ethnicity and a girl.
I am looking into the PRE-med field.</p>

<p>Am I on the right track for schools like Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, and Duke? Any advice you guys can give me on what I should look to do sophomore/junior year would be greatly appreciated. Any tips on SATs, AP's, and essays? It's my biggest dream to go to a school like the ones I mentioned. Any and all advice is appreciated! Thank you guys so much!</p>

<p>As your test scores and junior year GPA can easily make or break a college admissions decision, we can’t adequately chance you without that information. That being said, you’re definitely on the right track. </p>

<p>See you again in the Chance Me forum in…2 years :)</p>

<p>Don’t forget to have matches and safeties… and plan them according to whatever you score on the SAT/ACT.</p>

<p>You are probably looking for a fortune telling forum. It is not chancing without required information.</p>

<p>Is there anything that you all can recommend for me to do these next few years other than get good SAT/ACT scores? In terms of summer activity, are the things that I listed (Latin Gov school, shadowing, summer volunteering) good enough? Or are there other things I should look to do. Also, I am very passionate about playing the clarinet however, do you think getting 12th chair/6th chair looks bad? Or if I can get higher chairs this year, will it overlook it?</p>
