<p>Hi Everyone. This is my first time using this part of the forum, so please don't think I'm stupid if my question makes it seem that way :) I just want to know how likely you guys think I am to get accepted as a Physics major to Princeton or Columbia (please be as honest as possible):</p>

<p>Currently in 12th Grade
GPA: 3.8</p>

<p>SAT (I WILL TAKE IT AGAIN AND DO MUCH BETTER THIS SATURDAY!! Hopefully):

<p>Is there anything else I should mention?...I usually get 780-800 on Math when I take practice tests, so trust me, there is likely a better score coming this saturday. I am currently taking AP Chem, AP Statistics, and AP Calculus BC. Are my chances bad, good, or decent? I'm good at writing and could write a mean college essay :) Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Forgot to mention, 200+ Volunteer hours at my local Hospital. My school doesn’t give out class ranks. I’ve taken personal finances in the past, second language I’m learnig at school is Arabic.</p>

<p>Male or Female? There are less females in Physics so female would be a plus.</p>

<p>Columbia: Low Reach~
Princeton: Reach~</p>

<p>Don’t feel bad. These schools are reaches for everyone, and you have pretty good chances at them. But you should definitely get more EC’s.
Good Luck</p>

<p>@Wumanizer Ok, I’ll work on getting the more EC’s (I’m helping start a Environment Protection kind of thing at my school) and maybe I’ll be able to get a job in the next few days and put it on my resume. Thanks :)</p>
