WILL CHANCE BACK - Chance Me for Stern, Michigan, Cornell (dyson), Columbia

Hi all, I’m a super keen grade 10 about to enter the IB program at my school. I’m going to summarize my résumé as quickly possible… and please leave your opinion on what I have so far. I won’t have done my SATs or ACT yet, obviously, but I’ll be taking them twice, and I’m fairly confident in scoring above 2100 because I did the SSAT a couple years ago without preparation and broke 2200… I know it’s not the same thing but anyways

I’m a Canadian student so keep that in mind (our grading system is 80+ = A, not sure if the US still accepts that)

Grade 9:
4.0 GPA UW
4.6 GPA W (can’t get that 5.0 b/c there were physically no more enriched courses I could take)

Pre-IB Marks (10)
Math- IB(10) 90
Accounting - Regular - 93
French - IB- 94
History - IB - 88

(uncompleted courses)
Math (11, IB) 84 (one test in)
English- IB - 90 (maybe like 20% of the course done)
Science - IB - 77 ( Only 2 summatives done worth about 7% of our final mark)
Music - Regular - 90+ (our music teacher doesn’t calculate our marks for us, but this is based on the marks I’ve gotten back)

Extracurriculars
Bayview Investors - founded last year by myself in June, I currently am president.
Youth Action Committee - selected by the town’s council, I help plan events for youth as well as represent youth opinion on town developments (i.e. what to do with unused land, designs for new parks, etc.)
DECA - 2 years, last year i was 107th of 2000+ stock traders on SMG (north atlantic region) is year I placed 6th provincially for Financial Operations Research.
Math contests: I honor rolled in Cayley (grade 10 competition) last year, not sure about Fermat that i wrote this year
Bands - I’m in Toronto Youth Symphonic Winds, as well as the grade 11 band as a tubist (I play a grade up)
Sports - on the swim team, and intermural soccer for fun :slight_smile: I also have Bronze Star, medallion, and Cross, standard first aid, CPR A, B, and C. (Lifeguard certifications)
Tutoring - I’m an accounting and math tutor
Ambassadors - YRT (York Region Transit), CGA (Certified General Accountants), and WCM (Women in Capital Markets)

I can probably get at least 4/5 reference letters if required

N.B. My marks will “converted” next year (super inflated) to equal ontario’s expectations b/c IB is a lot more rigorious. Conversions vary subject to subject but most kids are about to get a low 90 average, or higher.

Dyson: High Reach
Columbia: Low Reach
Michigan: Match
Stern: High Match

It seems you are interested in Ross at UMich. You should the pre-admission to Ross is very competitive with admission rate below 15%. You should try some timed full SAT practice tests to gauge your score. If you do get 2200+, take the test soon before the format change next year. There is no guarantee you may do equally well in the new format. Until you have your grades up to junior year and a real score, there is no point to do chancing. Nevertheless, UMich is hardly a match school for anyone that are not in state.
