<p>I'm trying to decide what colleges I should apply to.</p>

<p>I'm planning to apply to these colleges:
Harvey Mudd
Duke
Penn
Vanderbilt
UVA
Yale
MIT
(what are my chances there too)</p>

<p>Alright, now the fun part: my stats.
I am a white, non-underprivaleged male who lives in Houston. I go to a very competitive private school, St. John's. I am currently a Senior. My mom was born in Panama, so I have the option to declare myself Hispanic. (I don't want to though).</p>

<p>SAT: 2350
Math: 800
Lit:750</p>

<p>Class Rank: 4/136</p>

<p>GPA: 98/100</p>

<p>SAT II:
Chemistry - 800
Biology - 800
World Hist - 800
Math 2- 800
Lit - 800</p>

<p>PSAT - 238 (The question I got wrong was a ScanTron error)</p>

<p>I also have 5s on APs in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, World History, BC Calc</p>

<p>ECs:
Volunteer Firefighter (11-12)
Patent Pending for an improvement on the dual flush toilet
Hispanic Affinity Group Founder & Pres (10-12)
3rd Trumpet (Faking it most of the time) Jazz Band (9-12)
Varsity Track & Field (9-11 Captain 12 most likely)
Varsity Cross Country (9-11 Captain 12)
Summer Spent teaching English in an underprivileged Elementry School in Rural Panama
Student Affairs Council Member (10-12)
Bad Speller (Not on the resume)</p>

<p>Awards:
National Merit Scholar
TIPS @ Duke
Science Award (9 & 11)
English Award (10)
Math Award (11)</p>

<p>No legacy to any school I'd be interested in (Dad's side has a history of going to UT and my Mom was the first in her family to go to college at LSU)</p>

<p>I'd be lying if I said I didn't think my stats were good. But I'm not trying to brag, and I do not mean to come off like that. I simply want to know what colleges you guys think would be a good fit for me. Thanks.</p>

<p>wow fantastic scores and great EC's + awards, I'll be amazed if you dont make it into any of those schools, pick the one you like :)</p>

<p>Thanks for the kind words... I sure hope that's true.</p>

<p>Frankly, I like Duke and MIT.</p>

<p>I would say that you have very competitive stats for all of those schools. But with Yale and MIT, it's impossible to say if you will surely get in. But you definitely have the scores and extra-curriculars for all of your schools. good luck!</p>

<p>Duke - you're in for sure xD</p>

<p>Great, I'm going up against you. Have you fear, you only have 120 points on the math section on me! Good luck.</p>
