I’m a rising high school senior trying to figure out where I will be applying to college. The schools I’m considering at the moment are: American, BU, Brandeis, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, UMass-Amherst, UMich, NYU, Northeastern, Pitzer, Syracuse, Tufts, Vassar, and UW-Madison

I have a 4.3 weighted GPA (3.9 unweighted), I am 9th in my class of approx. 400, in a highly competitive gifted program, I have taken 9 APs so far (English Lang & Lit, Bio, Human Geo, APES, APUSH, Comparative Pol, US Gov, Physics 1) and I plan on taking 6 more next year (Chem, Psych, Stats (or maybe Calc AB), Macro Econ, Micro Econ, French), I am in key club and NHS, I have played varsity tennis all four years, I have volunteered at my local science museum regularly all four years, I scored a 32 on my ACT (super-score: 33), and I have worked at a local dermatology office over the summer.

I’m thinking about majoring in Premed or biology.

Please let me know if you think I have a good chance of getting into the schools listed above. Thanks :slight_smile:

Your weak ECs are going to hold you back at a lot of those schools. I wouldn’t worry about UMass, American, Syracuse or UW Madison. BU, Brandeis, UMich, NYU, and Northeastern could be hit or misses. Cornell, JHU, and Pitzer seem like reaches to me.
