What are my chances

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello
I am applying to college this year, and I would LOVE to attend an ivy league school. No, it is not for the name, but rather the opportunities at these institutions tend to be superb. What are my chances at ANY of the 8 ivy schools. honestly.</p>

<p>GPA:
W-4.6
UW- 3.6 (these should go u after mid year, I have all A's rn)
(Huge upward trend junior year, and so far senior year. Huge as in massive. I got one C sophomore year and some B's sophomore/freshman year but pulled off a tremendous junior year.
Rank 47/424 ~11% but that should be a bit higher by mid year reports.
AP classess: 10-12 depending on next semester</p>

<p>ACT: 28, awaiting october scores but I dont think it went well, maybe 29, 30 at most </p>

<p>Extracurriculars: these are what make me somewhat approachable. I have a TON but I won't list all. Be in mind that my focus/intent is science so I tried focusing on these EC all throughout HS, however, I am also well rounded in the arts.</p>

<p>Science Olympiad, 4 years, President
Health Occupations Students of America - Board of Leadership
National Youth Health Advisory Council - National Board Position
National Honor Society, Secretary
National Technical Honor Society
Marching Band - Senior 4 year veteran, numerous awards, alto sax 8 years
Town Community Service Oganization (700+ members), 7 years, 2 time executive board member
Town of ______ Arts Committee (only student working with a group of 15+ adults involving the arts of my city)
Town of ______Environmental Committee ^^ for environment. Again only student on this board
Prestigious hospital volunteering (don't wanna say hospital for privacy reasons), 3 years
Internship in Latin America at hospitals doing research and work
--> what really helps me is my Internship this past summer at a governmental lab of public health doing research and working in a variety of sectors. One of my additional recommendations is coming from the director of this lab. i did lots of work and activties and I presented to the lab staff, etc.
Numerous summer science activties that are tuition free etc, meaning I didn't pay my way into them
Art- I have been painting and selling artwork at stores around my state for the past 6 years
Cultural Dance - have been culturally dancing for the past 6 years, performing annually. Also, I am a male dancer, not something very common tbh
Tutor students: founded my own tutoring company, tutor 4 students currently from Algebra to Calculus
...I have others, but not as important</p>

<p>Awards:
Several science olympiad regional medals
Hosa- placed at state conference(medaled), national qualifier
some AP scholar distinction thing?
---some others?</p>

<p>Essays:
I thought my common app essay was awesome. I would give it a 9.5/10, possibly 10/10. alot of ppl really liked it.
my supplements fo the schools I have applied to so far seem decent, 8/10? 9/10?</p>

<p>Also, I am indian which sucks because of the whole ORM thing, but yeah.
what are my shots? for any ivy schools regular decision. and then vanderbilt, I </p>

<p>emory, nyu, pepperdine, berkley,</p>

<p>In the end, I know the Ivys are way way way way long shots so if people could post some names of prestigious schools that I would also be a match for, that would be awesome. I am def applying to upenn, dartmouth, and cornell. </p>

<p>No chance at all for the ivies with that sat score. Pepperdine is a match, and the rest are low reaches.</p>

3

<p>@Wizard09 rest as in emory, vanderbilt, boston college, nyu, berkley would be low reaches?
Could you recommend me some schools
Thanks!</p>

4

<p>@Wizard09 also Carnegie mellon</p>

5

<p>If you get a 30 on your act then emory, boston college, nyu,berkley would be matches. Carnegie would still be a low reach. If your score stays a 28 then those are all low reaches.</p>

6

<p>@Wizard09 thanks my highest composite is 28, but super scored I have a 31. I know boston college super scores. NYU also superscores. I took the October test but have not gotten my results yet. I may take the December test one last time. Not fully sure (depends if I atleast get a 30 composite this time around)</p>

<p>@Wizard09‌
I disagree. 3.6 is a crap unweighted GPA. Even if OP gets a 36 on the ACT, Emory, Vanderbilt, Boston College, NYU, Berkeley, and Carnegie Mellon would still be reaches.</p>

8

<p>you made this identical thread less than a week ago</p>

9

<p>@Mangiafuoco Lol what. 3.6 is not bad at all…At my school a 3.6 is a 95 average.</p>

10

<p>Gpa is 3.6/4 and weighted is 4.6. Huge upwards trend in junior year (6 ap classes, 2 honors and all A)
Fresh/soph I had A and B and one stupid C sophomore year. Right now I have all As. Expecting 12 AP classes by graduation</p>

11

<p>@Wizard09 also Villanova and notre dame grinnell</p>

12

<p>Villanova and nortre dame are matches. Never heard of the third one.</p>

13

<p>@Wizard09 I am a march at those two schools with my current scores? I hope they increase with the oct/dec test but idk. I’m just bad at standarized testing. And last one- georgetown</p>

14

<p>Most schools superscore so with a 31 you are a match almost everywhere. Georgetown is a match.</p>

15

<p>@Wizard09 Actually most schools do not superscores the ACT. I know georgetown does not superscores. But most of the LAC do. But not emory. NYU does. BC does. Pepperdine does. Villanova/notre dame I’m not sure- but glad to hear it’s a match</p>

<p>bump</p>

17

<p>@Wizard09 oh sorry, my Act super scores is actually a 30</p>
