What do you feel are my chances for college

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I want to go to top league schools like Harvard or Columbia
But I'm doubtful :(</p>

<p>Please be honest and let me know what you think my chances are :</p>

<p>GPA: 4.2 on 4.0 scale (we get AP classes weighted)
I go to a prestigious school recognized by Newsweek as the "Public Elite" but none of my other scores really reflect that :'( </p>

<p>I have a good ranking :) amongst a class of over 1000 </p>

<p>I haven't gotten any 5s on AP Exams- just a scatter of 4s and 3s =(((
I don't get why I didn't get a 5 in AP Bio. I was a Biology Olympiad Semifinalist o_o </p>

<p>My SAT Score is 2070 but I am retaking it to hopefully score higher.
I got 800 on Math II and Chemistry SAT IIs.
I have good extracurrics - President of some Clubs at school that have been recognized nationally</p>

<p>By good ranking, I hope you mean top 10% or higher?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You need a 2200 or higher if you want to be a serious candidate for admission.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Great job. :slight_smile: Unfortunately, not rare among Harvard and Columbia applicants.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, not enough info here to accurately chance you. What’s your race/ethnicity? What state are you from? If you don’t have outstanding essays, I doubt you’ll get in unless you can raise that SAT score at least 100 points.</p>

<p>Yep I’m ranked 2nd in my class </p>

<p>The guy who is 1st got a 2400 on the SAT but I feel as though my test was a fluke :(</p>

<p>I got a 36 on the ACT :slight_smile: </p>

<p>But like I have 3 3s and 3 4s for AP Exams which really worries the crap out of me D: </p>

<p>Race: Asian
State: NY </p>

<p>I hope I can write great essays</p>

<p>You need to be a little more specific to get a more accurate “chance”. I’m shocked about the AP Bio score too but just get 770+ in Bio SAT II and they can see you are still good at bio. Also the qualifier round to get to semifinalist was pretty darn rigged (I think i got semifinalist solely on luck of the draw). How many APs did you take? I would definitely get that SAT to at least 2200-2250 (my goal for the same schools).</p>

<p>We can’t really chance you unless you provide some more insight as to what ECs/clubs you were a part of. SAT II’s are great, but your SAT/AP scores are not going to reflect a competitive applicant at either of those schools.</p>
