<p>Hey everyone. I plan on applying to top-tier universities and I was hoping that I could get some feedback on my chances of getting accepted. I plan on wrestling in college and in a way using it as my hook to get accepted, but don't get me wrong, I still love wrestling and would love to wrestle in college. </p>

1. University of Chicago (I have contacted the coach about wrestling and sent in a Wrestling Recruit questionnaire online)
2. University of Harvard (I have contacted the coach about wrestling and sent in a Wrestling Recruit questionnaire online)
3. Yale University (Planning on contacting the coach soon)

<p>I think if you apply to all of these, you’ll get into to 1-4 of the 7 you listed. A huge huge part of the process is just luck so you might get lucky at a few colleges and not at others. A little bit more leadership in academic clubs would have helped but your application looks good as is. </p>
<p>I don’t know much about sports recruitment so I have no clue how much that would help you, but if it does, then your application would be competitive for those schools. You don’t have too many ECs, but your schedule is rigorous. Try to get an internship this summer to improve your chances. Good luck!</p>
<p>Hey you’re in the same county and state as me! what do you want to major in? Your chances are kind of hard to determine without an ACT/SAT score, but from your classes it looks like you are challenging yourself, and I assume your GPA is pretty good too? Also take at least two SAT2s for these competitive schools. Good luck!
University of Chicago reach
University of Harvard reach. You’ll have to be admitted into the college before being considered for any varsity sports unless you are a super exception.
<p>I want to major in business/economics/finance. I’m not quite sure which one I want to major in though. Also I plan on taking the act two or three times and I’m pretty confident I’ll end up with a 34 or 35.</p>
<p>I have no idea how I would go about finding an internship for business or something related, but I’m taking Business and Applied Calc I this summer and I plan on working a few days every week for 8 hours. So if I did an internship would I be incredibly busy and ruin my summer, because once I start I’m not going to quit.</p>
<p>You should probably take the SAT, along with the ACT, if you are applying to East Coast, Ivy League colleges. Research their requirements - some recommend (if not require) SAT Subject Tests, as well. </p>
<p>Your chances are looking pretty good with those stats, what it’s going to come down to is your essays try and kill those and you shouldn’t have a problem at all</p>
<p>Like @billcsho said, scores must be provided for an accurate chance. Other than that your EC’s are great, but again with poor scores it would all be for naught.</p>
