What are my chances for any college, what type of college can I get into?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am a high school junior in Northern Virginia. I like to take a different approach to college admissions. I believe that although academics are important, I believe that things like extracurricular activities, sports, and other things of that nature can make you really shine and stand out in the admissions. I what kind of colleges can I get into, because my school has very little knowledge on colleges, and my parents are not college graduates, me being the first generation to attend college.
STATS:
Freshmen: I took all honors and the school screwed me up with personal reasons. GPA was 3.4UW and 3.7W
Sophomore: This was my best year so far, took all honors. GPA was 3.84UW and 4.14W.
Junior: I'm taking the HARDEST CLASSES POSSIBLE, I have the following (my school is an IB school).
IB HA ( Super hard class, it is an HL class)
IB Physics
Orchestra
IB HL Math (Hardest Class I have) It is a crap ton harder than SL math. If you have an A in SL math you will get a D in HL Math, it's that hard in my school.
IB English HL 1
IB Business SL1 ( First year you can only take SL)
IB Bio HL</p>

<p>So if everything goes well, I will have a weighted GPA my junior year of 4.3. Which makes my GPA 4.1 weighted when I apply to colleges. </p>

<p>Here is by extracurricular activities:
Sports: Varsity Golf, Indoor track and field, Varsity Crew (3rd place Matthews Invationals)
Clubs: Chess club, Math honor society, National Honor society, FBLA, It's Academic(Quiz bowl), Science Olympiad, College Partnership Program(college preparatory program), Varsity Math Team, Freshmen Mentoring Program, I am probably forgetting a few.</p>

<p>Leadership: Chess club founder and president, treasurer of Science Olympiad, parliamentarian of FBLA, secretary of Math Honor society and future VP.</p>

<p>Summer programs: Internship and Voice of America, applying for NIH soon.</p>

<p>Lets just say I score a 1900+ on the SAT.
With all these stats what kind of school can I get in. My main school is Georgetown, I have 2 alumnus who are waiting to write me recommendations. Lets just say that they are great recommendations. I don't have the best grades in my class but I'm doing the most, more than anyone else. Can you name other schools that I can get in? I want to do premed. Compare me to also those kids who have an A in every class with no sports or clubs.</p>

<p>As long as:
you keep up grade,
writes a great essay
have good rec letters,
improve SAT to over 2100+</p>

<p>you are fine. Since you are a junior year, you still have time! Good luck.</p>

<p>Well are my decorated stats above average? Also harder classes over easy classes with good grades?</p>

<p>Also I am top 3 for quizbowl</p>

<p>Your saying cumulative GPA UW is 3.84 and W GPA is 4.14, correct? Then at least make sure not ot decrease it.
I don’t doubt your ECs are pretty good</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>CUMULATIVE GPA IS 3.6UW and 3.9W</p>

8

<p>BUmp</p>

<p>Sorry about the following statement but I’ve gotta say it: Your words are sounding pretentious. Especially that first paragraph and the last one, where you try to justify yourself. Trust me; everyone here knows ECs play a very important role, along with grades.</p>

<p>Anyway, to your chances: Georgetown is a reach for everyone, so obviously choose some good matches and safeties.</p>

<p>Your grades and test score are on the low side, but you still have a chance to bring those up. Remember colleges only really look at your UW GPA, since high schools weigh grades differently. </p>

<p>Your ECs are competitive, but they’re not so good as to make colleges ignore your lower stats.</p>

<p>Your alumni friends had better know you very well, or else those recommendations are worthless.</p>

<p>Finally, comparing you to straight A students who have no ECs is useless, since you will be competing against those who have both straight As and super ECs. You’re doing well, but those stats still pull you down a bit. Get that SAT to a 2250+, and get the UW GPA to a 3.8, then you’ll have as good a chance as everyone else.</p>

<p>To be a competitive GU applicant, you need SAT over 2200 ( or 1500 combined for Math & Reading, which are the two parts they consider), and over 730 each for the 3 subject SAT tests.</p>

<p>GU, like the ivies, is a reach for for most applcants nowadays. Just try to imprve your test scores, and go for RD. Do work on the essays and do well for the interview.</p>
