What colleges might I be able to get into? (theoretically speaking...)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>So I am a junior in Virginia and am just wondering some of the colleges that I might have a chance at.
Some of the colleges that I have in mind are:
Georgetown (most preferred)
UVA
Boston College</p>

<p>I have:
Unweighted GPA: 4.0
Weighted GPA: 4.3 (I am not sure how the unweighted/weighted GPA goes though...)
PSAT: 212 (CR - 73; M - 67; W - 72)
SAT I: 2300 (I haven't take it yet but this is my goal)
SAT II: Chemistry - 780; Math II - 760; Latin - 710 (again, I haven't taken any of them but these are my goals)
EC: viola
National Science Honor Society
Science Olympiad
Key Club (officer)
National Honor Society
intern at Smithsonian Natural History Museum (do tours)
Awards: Presidential Volunteer Award
many many All A's certificates from school
several high academic achievement awards from school</p>

<p>Yeah... So since the SAT scores are my goals, that's why I said theoretical. But if I really do achieve my goals, would this be enough for Ivy League schools? What other colleges are there? Also, if I get about 100 points lower on my intended SAT scores, would I still be good for Ivy Leagues? Oh I am Asian by the way(:</p>

<p>Saw that you are Asian…makes it 2x harder…Id say you look very generic for Georgetown, tbh nothing special from the tons of other apps.
Georgetown - high match/low reatch</p>

<p>chance back?</p>

<p>Ugh, I know… Sometimes I hate being Asian because of the competition. Sigh… Is Georgetown really too far fetched for me?</p>

<p>Oh and I forgot to mention: my school is an IB school so I am currently taking all IB classes right now. (IB Math I, IB Theory of Knowledge, IB History, IB English I, IB physics, IB Latin I and next year I will be doubling up on IB chemistry HL and IB biology SL)</p>

<p>what’s your estimated IB score, and DON’T GIVE UP HOPE!!! Whatever you do there is always a slim glimmer chance you can get in! The main thing is 0 leadership and mediocre ECS</p>

<p>I’d say you have a shot at a school like Georgetown and you’d get in if you ED’d you just need more quality in your EC’s as in leadership positions. Ivy leagues would be accomplishable with a 2200+ SAT for sure with your GPA once again most EC’s are the deciding factor. I think you could get into the lower tier Ivy’s but not a HYPSM. </p>

<p>chance me back bud?</p>

<p>Anybody else’s thoughts?</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>um Ivy Leagues are generally reach for EVERYONE
of course, HYP you gotta have at least near perfect GPA and near perfect SAT to hope to reach for it.
Cornell and Duke I’d say you might have chance if you achieve all your goals.
Georgetown and UVA seems like low reach for you IF, again, you achieve all your goals
Do work on your sat and keep up your gpa! also take care of your EC cause that looks a bit weak.
I’d say you may want to aim lower than IVY</p>

<p>As many have said, being Asian is a negative. However, dont be discouraged. Write some unique essays and have some strong recs and you have a good chance.</p>

<p>Georgetown- low reach
UVA - low match
Boston College - low match</p>
