<p>Hey there,
I'm a junior in an IB high school that is very competitive and routinely sends kids to top tier Ivy League schools every year (This year 4 people got into Harvard).
Below I will write some of my stats so you can help me decide where to apply,,, I have been doing some research and it seems like admissions are harder than ever now... it has really begun to stress me out because who knows whether I will even be accepted anywhere?</p>
<p>I live in Florida btw, in Gainesville. </p>
<p>SAT: combined score - 2340 (Math: 750, CR: 800, WR:790)
GPA: unweighted - 3.7, weighted - 4.75
I have taken 3 AP tests in sophomore year and scored 4s and 5s on all of them. I am taking another 4 AP test this year, and then a total of 4-5 more next year.
Sports:
I have been doing crew (rowing) for my entire high school career. It is a year round sport and there are no breaks. It takes up a lot of my time and hopefully admissions counselors will appreciate that. There is a chance that I can be captain next year (only seniors can be captains)
EC:
Debate: I have been doing debate since sophomore year, I got alternate for nationals...
Key Club: This is a community service type club...
Student Government: Ive been a senator for 3 years.

Awards:

i have some more which i cant think of right now</p>
<p>My family is pretty well off so I don't think that FA should be a big factor in my choices, allthough i would like to graduate with little debt if possible. </p>
<p>Please give me suggestions for what colleges I should really look into and give my chances for getting in.</p>
