What are my chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!

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?

Honestly I do not see much that stands out in your application but your GPA says something. If you can keep it going up and raise your SAT score a bit I think you’ll be on your way to NYU and maybe U of M. Also, I would say push harder in dancing because it seems like you take a lot of pride in it. Also, maybe more community service would be good. Try to make it something you can do consistently and connect to because it’s good to include volunteer experience in essays later on. You have lots of time left though so just keep it up!
