So junior year classes were
IB bio,IB psych, AP comp sci principles , TOK, Calc AB, APUSH, AP english comp.
SAT:1510
GPA: 4.9 weighted, top 15 in class
EC: Code club, chess club, medical club, Eagle scout (Was head of troop and now a troop guide for younger scouts), like to code in free time, did a prestigious neuro-science project with mayo clinic. I won nationals in Latin certamen but our team was disbanded after sophomore year by our crazy teacher. Help teach this Taiwanese girl English while she helps teach me with chinese.
Honor Societies; psych (just created) ,science, history, national, chinese
Goal: I want to go into neuro-science , and apply for med school.
I don’t think i will be eligible for that much aid. I’m not rich but colleges don’t help much if you are in the middle.
* And what about other Ivies or schools around that level like WashU, am I good enough for them?
*** also should i take IB physics or continue with comp sci? Which is better because i like both and have taken AP physics.
You better write a good essay
Oh i completely forgot my AP scores
At the moment ;
APWH: 5, Psych: 5, HuG: 5 , Bio: 5, AP CSP: 5, AP CP A: 5, Euro : 5, Calc AB : 4,
AP Physics 1: 4, English Comp 5 , APUSH: 5
SAT II: Bio : 800, Math II 800, Latin 800, APUSH: 800 , Physics : 800
Maybe Wash U will take you. But without a killer essay and killer interview the very top schools will take a pass.
Your stats seem competitive for any school, but what is your unweighted GPA? If your school doesn’t calculate it, calculate it yourself.
I can’t chance you but Harvard, the rest of the Ivies and WashU will be reaches for you, as they are for everyone. For WashU you also have to make sure to demonstrate interest.
Spend adequate time identifying and applying to 4-6 target schools and 1-2 affordable safeties that you would be delighted to attend. It is most likely you will be attending a target or safety school. Good luck.
Probably better chances at WashU than the Ivies, but make sure there is some focus to your ECs, as they seem scattered and seem more liberal arts/social science related.
WashU does love their demonstrated interest (visits, interviews).
Unweighted is a 4.0
