What Are My Chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm a senior at a decent-sized public high school in Alabama. I'm in the top 10% of my class with a 4.1 GPA weighted. I have a 32 on my ACT with a 10 on the writing section, but I should get a 34 or 35 after this next test as I'm actually going to study.
*Sub-scores:
Math 30
Science 31
Reading 35
English 33
*My math should go up to at least a 34 after I re memorize my geometry. My English a 35 and my science a 33-35
*AP Tests
US History 2 (Have a good reason I only made this)
Language and Composition 3
Biology 3
*Extracurricular activities
Work a Job 3-4 Days a week
Boxing
Training for Mixed Martial Arts
Working Out
National Honor Society
Math Team
Science Olympiad
Relay For Life team (when the time comes)
*Where I want to go:
Yale, Harvard, MIT, Northwestern, Georgia Tech, Auburn, Stanford, Cal-tech, Berkley, Cornell, Columbia </p>

<p>What do you think my chances of getting in to these schools are?</p>

<p>What is your uwGPA in 4.0 scale?
As of now, most schools on the list are reach to high reach. If you do get 34+ in ACT, then you would have much better chance at Cornell, NU, UCB, GA Tech, etc assuming your uwGPA to be ~3.9.</p>

<p>My unweighted is only a 3.68 but there’s a good reason for it. After 9th grade I was an all A student.</p>

<p>You probably want to focus on the schools that do not count freshmen grades. Otherwise, uwGPA 3.68 does hurt your chance for top schools.</p>

<p>Auburn: Safety
Berkeley: Match (can you pay full-freight?)
GA Tech: Match
Caltech: Reach
Stanford: Reach
Columbia: Reach
Cornell: Reach
Yale: Reach
MIT: Reach
NWU: Reach
Harvard: Reach</p>

<p>With ACT 32, I would say high match for UCB (UC does not count freshmen grades). Otherwise, I am pretty much inline with Catria’s assessment.</p>

<p>I can’t pay full freight anywhere. I have to check out UCB’s financial aid because I know at Yale me and my family combined would only have to put in around 5000 a year. After this year I’ll have a 3.8 unweighted for sure though. And if I have at Least a 34 should I have a decent chance at the rest? I appreciate the feedback btw.</p>
