I’m a junior in high school and am just starting my college research. So far my top schools are NYU, Syracuse, University of Michigan and Cornell. Here’s a little about my grades:

GPA:3.85

SAT(new format):1300

I attend one of the top high schools in the country, nationally recognized for its outstanding academics and difficulty.

I’m a full IB diploma canadate (the most difficult course my school offers)

I’ve taken 3 AP classes so far: world history, U. S. history and Liturarure & Composition.

All the classes I’m currently taking are either AP or IB

My activities:

Dance (12 years) - I am ranked 12th in the region

Band (7 years) - I’ve been playing with the high school band at my school since the 6th grade

Soccer (4 years)

Key Club (2 years)

I’m also planning to have around 80 community service hours by the end of my junior year.

What do you think my chances are of getting into any of my top schools?

All the schools are reaches except Syracuse which is a match. Get he SAT to at least a 1400-1450 to be in the range of the other schools
