I’m currently a junior in highschool and am wanting to know if anyone can tell me what my chances are of getting into a school like duke or any of the ivies. I have roughly a 3.8 gpa uw, I haven’t taken the SAT or ACT yet but I got a 217 on the psat so assuming I do about the same on the SAT it would be a 2170 sat. In terms of extracurricular activities I have gotten the president community service award each year totaling up to more than 300 hours so far, I also took a community service trip to new orleans to help rebuild the wetlands(idk if thats relevant), I rowed crew freshmen year and have played golf every year in highschool. I have also been a member of youth in government and world affairs all through highschool. Also this year I’m the president of a club that I founded where we invest actual money in the stock market, we are funded by my highschool. The summer after my sophomore year i worked at a dog grooming shop 30 hours a week for about 10 weeks. I’m most likely going to be a national merit scholar and I took 2 ap classes and 1 honor last year and 3 ap’s this year and plan on taking all aps next year. I also have a legacy at dartmouth and upenn. Can anyone tell me what my chances might be getting into a school like duke, ivies, or any other school of similar caliber?
I definitely think you have a chance at those schools. I love your ecs, especially the stock market and wetlands one. They are really great foundations to your college essays. I would recommend taking more ap classes senior year and concentrating on Sats! Perhaps take it in January because that’s when the curve is the lowest I heard. Great job! You are an exceptional student you should be proud.
