What are my chances

Applying to College
1

<p>As of now, I'm a junior in high school working towards getting into a strong undergraduate business school. </p>

<p>My top choices are</p>

<p>UC Berkeley
Illinois Urbana Champaign
Michigan Ann Arbor
Brown
Northwestern
University Of Chicago
Carnegie Melon
Duke
Emory
Notre Dame
NYU</p>

<p>As of now, my unweighted gpa is a 3.8.</p>

<p>My SAT score is a 2250 with my math and reading together being a 1560.</p>

<p>My class rank is 9 out of 118 (about the top 8%).</p>

<p>The school I go too is a part of the New Tech foundation. They emphasize a new type of approach where students are familiarized with an authentic work environment. Our work centers heavily around presentations, professionalism, becoming acquainted with the uses of technology in today's world, and of course normal high school content. I took one ap class freshmen year and the rest honors. I took all honors classes sophmore year and now 3 aps and the rest honors junior year. When I graduate, I will also have 40+ hours of experience shadowing people in their jobs. This program was implemented to give us a visual view of the real world.</p>

<p>My extracurriculars mainly are:</p>

<p>First robotics competition ( spent 100+ hours building a robot that will be capable of playing a sport like soccer on its own and when controlled)</p>

<p>National Honor Society</p>

<p>My school's debate club (we frequently stage in school debates)</p>

<p>A community service project involving the restoration of Reagan Wells Ranch.</p>

<p>I volunteer at a food bank consistently</p>

<p>I volunteer at a children's hospital consistently.</p>

<p>I know my extracurriculars are paltry so after my First Robotics ends, I plan on taking a part time job then getting an internship over the summer.</p>

<p>So with these credentials now, what are the odds that I could get accepted into any of the undergrad programs of the above listed business schools.</p>

<p>well that was rude…
even if you write a killer essay half of those schools like Northwestern, Duke, UCBerkely, etc. will be high reaches. I think you can get into some of the other ones but you don’t really have something that sets you apart. Most people who apply volunteer, do clubs, and get good stats. Maybe you could talk about how your HS experience has changed you and emphasize that part</p>

<p>Alright, thanks for the response. I was thinking that with an internship that would give me some real experience in the business world, I would stand a better chance. Also, I’ll post this in the right section.</p>
