<p>If it matters, I self-studied for AP Human Geography and AP Psychology and had a 5 on both. I plan on self-studying for AP Chemistry next semester and am trying very hard to get a 5.</p>
<p>Yea, you have a good chance at all of them. Your SAT score is higher than the average at most ivies. Your SAT IIs are very impressive. Plus, you are ranked #1 and have taken many APs… oh yea, so don’t forget to put down that you self-studied the particular APs.
Make sure you essays are good though, because many 4.0 2400s get rejected every year.</p>
<p>But in terms of your ECs- any leadership? Did you have any significant contribution?</p>
<p>Don’t apply to all those schools.
I’d say pick 1,3,5,9, 20 and pick 3-4 ivies, and you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Remember, make your essays good, because many people with perfect scores don’t gain admission because others with lower scores had great essays.</p>
<p>You have very impressive academic credential. What you are lacking is strong involvement with an EC, and that may hold you back with tippy top schools (top 20s). You also seem to be all over with what schools you are interested in - Cornell is very different than Columbia, Brown is nothing like Princeton, Chicago vs Dartmouth (?). Your essays are going to be important for some of those schools, and you don’t seem to know what you want, so how are you going to show your interest?</p>
<p>Yeah, I really am just looking for a school with enough prestige to get me into a decent medical school. I have applied for stuff as a biochemistry major, but things could change. Columbia, Harvard, and Stanford would be my first choices. I had a leadership role on the math team; my school had some pretty bad extracurricular activities outside of sports.</p>
