What are my chances at any Ivy League?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm sure people post this question all the time, so apologies in advance. I'm a junior and I go to a smaller school (~600 kids) in England (military brat). I've lived in 4 countries, and attended 12 schools, so I've got the whole international experience thing going for me. My mom went to Yale, so that will get me a couple of brownie points there. Here's the rest of my resume:</p>

<p>1st SAT: 2240 (will probably retake for a 2300+ if I'm lucky)
Unweighted GPA: 4.0 so far (I'm taking 3 APs with another 3-4 next year, this is the most of anyone at my school)
Class rank: 1/120ish</p>

<p>ECs:
Varsity soccer (2007-2010)
Varsity cross-country (2008)
Varsity track (2008)
Varsity golf (2009-2010)
Model United Nations (been to two conferences, was awarded best delegate and chair)
Model United States Senate (been to one conference, got a senator slot)
Boy Scouts (almost to Eagle Scout)
National Honor Society (2009-2010)
Student Leader at my local youth group (6-8 hours/wk)</p>

<p>Volunteer stuff:
Poland service project (weeklong event, 70+ hours, 2009-2010)
Assorted hours for Boy Scouts/NHS
...yeah</p>

<p>I'll probably get a letter of rec from the governor of VA (my uncle). And I'm white, so no minority advantages. Guess that's it. Questions? ask.</p>

<p>I agree with totalderiv. Your application looks nice! I think you’d want to emphasize what unique qualities you’d bring to your prospective school though.</p>

<p>Chance back?

<p>you have a decent shot. the only real thing that stands out for you is that you’re an international student. so write a great essay about that somehow. otherwise your stats are just like the typical applicant to IVY Leagues. Make sure you take all AP classes offered since you’re school doesn’t seem to offer that many and you don’t have IB (I’ve taken 10 AP classes in high school and there are still a bunch more i could have taken, but i opted for IB). They won’t count it against you since thats all your school offers but make sure you take all APs. I think Yale’s your best shot since you’re a legacy but theres no guarantee. </p>
