Where could I get in? esp. Tufts

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm in the midst of the college process, waiting for April letters, and I'm wondering what kind of chances i have at the schools I applied to. I think I have a good mix of way reaches, matches, and safeties. I already got into Bard and Rutgers U. Here are my stats. </p>

<p>GPA: ~4.1 unweighted
SAT 1s: Verbal 740, Math 630, Writing 780
SAT 2s: US History 800, World History 800, Literature 680
Ranking: 11 out of 331, top 5%
I've been in most college prep math and science every year, except for one year of honors biology, but I've gotten straight A's in the everything else in the humanities, social sciences, languages, etc., including, AP US I, AP US II (5), AP Art History (5/A+)), Honors English, Honors Criminal Justice, and this year I'm taking 5 APs-->AP English Literature, AP English Lang and Comp. AP Euro, AP US Gov't, AP Italian, and AP Psychology. </p>

<p>I'm heavily involved in extracurricular activities.
I'm President of my school's concert choir which I've been in for all 4 years, I'm a member of my school's singing select ensemble (getting honors credit for choir for the past 3 years), I'm founder and president of my school's a cappella singing group, i've been in the musical and drama for the past four years, playing a lead role in almost all of them. I'm vice president of the sign language club, and president of my school's ERASE club (eliminating racism and sexism everywhere).
I tutor a Russian and an Israeli immigrant through tutoring programs in both my town library and my school. I've been a docent of my county historical society for the past four years as well. I also have held a job at the library for a year and a half, and now work as a doctor's assistant.
Awards and honors include being selected for NJ Boys' State, the New Jersey Governors School for International Studies (only 100 in the state are chosen), the Edward J. Bloustein Distinguished Leader Scholarship, making it into the County Choir, 2 Volunteer Awards from my library, student of the month twice
I'm mainly concern about the non-honors math and science thing. Does it matter that much? Okay here's my list, and i'd appreciate if you guys tell me what you think. I'm especially hoping for Tufts
UPenn
Princeton
Harvard
Brown
Cornell
Tufts
Johns Hopkins (my sister goes there, so I have some connections)
Wesleyan (CT)
Vassar
Haverford
NYU
Connecticut College
Skidmore </p>

<p>Thanks a lot, sorry if i rambled. i'd appreciate any comment. </p>

<p>PS- i'm a white male.</p>

<p>I'd say SAT is too low for Princeton and Harvard (the 630 and also the lit 680). The rest of your app is so stellar that it might cut it at the other schools...maybe not Penn though. Good luck, your ECs are great.</p>

<p>thanks that's really nice to hear.</p>

<p>I think jimbob is being a bit too optimistic about your chances. Your SATs are too low for all the Ivies except Cornell, and with Cornell you're a bit weak. Same with Johns Hopkins. Tufts is a near match. Vassar is a little stretchy and Wesleyan is a stretch. Haverford is a match. With that said, your grades, class rank and ECs will probably compensate a bit for the SATs, but not enough at the Ivies to get you in. I'd guess you won't get into Cornell, Hopkins, Vassar or Wesleyan, though you may get wait listed at one or more. You've got a decent shot at Tufts and Haverford, and you should get into NYU, Conn Coll, and Skidmore.</p>

<p>haverford is harder to get into than vassar.</p>
