Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm currently a middle class student of North African origin. I was going to apply to the following schools and wondered what my chances were:</p>

<p>JHU
Rice
Emory
Cornell
Duke
Stanford
Columbia
UT-Austin</p>

<p>GPA: 3.86 (unwieghted)
3.92 (weighted)</p>

<p>coursework has included all pre-ap classes possible along with AP Human Geography (3), WHAP (4), APUSH (5), and AP Lang (5).
senior coursework includes:
AP English Lit
AP Calculus BC
AP Statistics
AP Biology
Medical Microbiology/Pathophysiology
Pre-AP Spanish III
Video Game Tech</p>

<p>SAT: 2100 (750 Reading, 690 Math, 660 Writing)
ACT: waiting for scores
SAT II's: taking bio and math level 2 next month</p>

<p>EC's:
-JV/Varsity Soccer for 3 yrs
-HOSA (secretary) senior year
-UIL Academics Current Events for 2 yrs
-Science Fair freshman year (advanced to state)
-Science Olympiad senior year</p>

<p>i've been on the academic honor roll all of high school of course and was recognized at the regional science fair thus advancing to state, i have also won awards at district competition for UIL Current Events and i am an AP scholar with honor.</p>

<p>Volunteer Work (150-200 hrs)
-helped repaint house working with muslim-jewish interfaith organization
-led youth prayers during holy month of ramadan
-helped teachers of a religious part-time school with students
-worked at library with shelving books, etc.</p>

<p>I am also going to begin teaching at a Weekend Islamic school started by my parent. This is a paying job.</p>

<p>Also not mentioned is the fact that from the summer following my freshman year until now i have been in a program where students memorize the entire Quran (Koran). This is a major commitment that takes several years and I have had to attend classes throughout the year and all during the summer. It is especially tough considering I play soccer and have to work with my other EC's along with the AP workload.</p>

<p>I want to major in public health and become an epidemiologist. I have a great interest in diseases and am inspired by Richard Preston's work, who I plan to write an essay about.</p>

<p>My recs should be good as well</p>

<p>JHU-safety

Cornell-high match
Duke-reach
Stanford-high reach

<p>You’re GPA and test scores are great! Any leadership roles in your EC activities? Honestly, Standford, Duke, and Columbia are longshots, but I’d still say you have a chance. </p>

<p>Chance me back?
