<p>Whatsup. Junior living in the state of Illinois attending a private, catholic, military academy that sends some kids to a few prestigious schools (we get a lot of kids that go to U of I). I'm looking at some good schools and think that I have a fairly good shot at getting in, but then again I am kinda new to the whole system so any (ANY) input would be helpful and if anybody out there got into any of the schools listed below, it would cool if you posted you're SAT I, ACT, GPA, and any Subject Tests. My stats include:</p>

<p>Ranked 1/130 (for now, probably between 3-7 by senior year)
GPA: 3.84 unweighted, 4.74 weighted
SAT I: 2260 (690 CR, 800 M, 770 W)
ACT: 34 (35 M/S, 34 W, 32 R)
Subject Tests: Pending (Chem, Math II, US-H, Physics)</p>

<p>National Merit Commended Scholar
National Honor Society
Math Team
Science Olympiad
JROTC Battalion Logistics Specialist (my primary extra-c)
Leadership Bowl Team Captain

<p>I'm applying to:

Duke
UNC-out of state
Georgetown</p>

<p>If anybody's got any input I would SO appreciate it, thanks.</p>

<p>decent chances at those schools. Columbia will be the biggest reach. you should explore CC a little more. there are decision threads for class of 2013 applicants. you can see exactly how you match up :D. </p>

<p>example:</p>

<p>gl and don’t have the attitude that your rank will go down, heh!</p>

<p>I’d say you are definitely a contender for all the schools you have listed.</p>

<p>How important is it for you to continue ROTC in college? Columbia is not very friendly to the ROTC. I believe ROTC is actually banned from campus.</p>

<p>With respect to your chances, they are very good. The weakest part of your application would probably be your Critical Reading score; however, considering strength of the rest of your application, I think that that could be overlooked.</p>

<p>Not very interested in ROTC, its just an optional extra-curricular that I excelled in and since I do logistics, it also helped me with real life data analysis and statistics along with running a $20,000 budget.</p>
