What are my chances for getting into these selective schools?

Hey guys,

I’m curious about my chances for Princeton or Brown, as well as Davidson, Boston College, and Duke.

I’m a rising senior and I have a 4.41 weighted/4.04 unweighted GPA. I’ve taken all honors classes for my core and language classes freshman-sophomore year. My junior year, I took two AP classes, and the rest honors. My senior year, I’m taking four AP classes and one regular class. So, a total of 6 AP, 12 honors, and 2 regular classes throughout my four years in high school. My weighted GPA shows an upward trend since freshman year.

As far as extracurriculars, I have been on student government for four years, as liaison (freshman year), and class president (sophomore, junior, senior years). I have run varsity cross country and track all three seasons for four years (doing well at state competitions and running in some national competitions), and I have been a captain of the cross country team for three years. I have been a member of Peers Against Narcotics and Drug Abuse for all four years, and I am a leader of this club my senior year. I am a mentor for a middle school student in the Little Big program (3 years). I have been a member of Future Business Leaders of America for four years and placed at states and qualified for/attended the national competition every year. I am a member of NHS and I have been a member of Leadership Corp (a club at my school where you assist underclassmen in teambuilding) since junior year.

I have taken the ACT and SAT once. I got a 34 on my ACT (36 English, 28 Math, 34 Reading, 36 Science, 11/12 essay) and a 1510 on my SAT (720 Math, 790 Reading).

What are my chances for getting into extremely competitive schools like Princeton, Brown, or Duke? I am a double-legacy at Princeton, as both my parents went to college there. How about for smaller liberal arts schools like Davidson College or Boston College?

I intend to major in political science, public policy, international relations, or psychology.

Thank you!

Your stats make you qualified to apply. Your ECs are pretty good. Your legacy hook at Princeton would almost certainly help your application if you apply early to that school. Write amazing essays and you could get accepted to any of these schools
