<p>You say your unweighted is 4.0, yet you have a B- and a B? Maybe you’re getting it mixed up.
I’m sorry but you have very little/no chance at Yale/MIT.
Dartmouth is a little more chance than that, but still very little.</p>

<p>If you even want a very little chance, you should up your SATs to at least 2250+.</p>

<p>I dont really understand your thread lol. You say that you are repeating your junior year, yet you are posting your senior year schedule? Confusing.</p>

<p>ECs look pretty good though.</p>

<p>If you up your SATs, I think your reaches can become matches.</p>

<p>Chance me back?</p>

3

<p>That GPA was my 1st junior year.</p>

<p>I mean I just completed my repeat junior year. I will be a senior next year</p>

4

<p>Reach schools should be goals for you to get to. Idk about the dream schools unless you have something very unique to offer. Bowdoin looks like a good match for you.</p>

5

<p>Thanks, how the other schools in my reach list ??</p>

<p>Why you think Bowdoin is a good match for me ?? Just curious since it is my first choice</p>

6

<p>Any more suggestion for me ???</p>

7

<p>Can you guys give me some more suggestions ??? I would really appreciate it</p>

8

<p>Hey guys, please chance me. I really need some help now</p>

9

<p>Can someone leave me some comments ?? I would be happy to chance back.</p>

<p>i’m not sure if you said it anywhere but what is your race? because that will play a pretty big part in admissions to your dream schools, especially if you are an URM. </p>

<p>if you want to get into yale/dartmouth/MIT you’re going to need to bring your SAT score up A LOT. also your leadership roles are pretty weak. if you write an awesome essay & raise your SAT scores up you’ll have a pretty good chance at your reach schools & possibly dartmouth.</p>

11

<p>I don’t think I am an URM since I am a Southeast Asian male. Does it make a difference ??</p>

<p>I have to admit that I don’t have that many chance to become a leader. I have not stayed at a high school more than one year so it does not allow me the chance to become the leader or anything yet. The only thing was that I was elected as the president of the Youth Union. It’s a pretty big thing in my country.</p>

<p>Any idea about my chance at the reach schools ?? Any more suggestion ? What should be a better target for SAT ?</p>

12

<p>Any more suggestion, people ?? I would chance back if you want</p>

13

<p>Any more chance for me please ??</p>

14

<p>Hey guys, can you guys just comment something ???</p>

15

<p>What? You took your junior year twice. Why? Can someone even do that?</p>

16

<p>Yeah, I had to. It’s a complex story.</p>

<p>Any suggestion about my chance and my profile ?</p>

17

<p>STOP BUMPING the thread. you got a correct answer already, deal with it. There arent that many options and you already know your matches, so why ask? MIt and yale are very slim chances</p>
