<p>SAT (1st Try): 2200 (750 CR, 710 M, 740 W, 10 E)
SAT (2nd Try): Will take 5/3
PSAT: 228 (76 CR, 80 M, 72 W) Like Semi-Finalist
ACT (1st Try): C:33 (33 E, 34 M, 33 R, 31 S, 10 E)
ACT (2nd Try): Took 4/23 (Today)
GPA (UW): 3.85/4 (2 B's Freshman Year, 1 B Junior Year in AP Physics)
GPA (W): 4.85/5
Rank: 2/486
School: Regular Public
AP: Will take 6 AP tests this year.
(Calculus BC, Physics C: Mechanics, AP Spanish, AP Chinese, APUSH, AP Chemistry)
Classes: Most rigorous at school; will have taken all offered Honors/AP classes by Senior year.
Plan on taking Calculus III and Differential Equations at local community college Senior year as well.</p>

<p>Volunteering:
Roughly 200 hours at a nursing home.
NHS Volunteer Hours (About 30 hours, includes tutoring and a Leukemia fundraiser)</p>

<p>Warning: I'm not part of many clubs and my extracurricular activities are extremely weak. Does that hinder me a lot, even though I'm not planning on being accepted into the higher Ivies?</p>

<p>NHS (10,11), Spanish Club (Secretary 11,12), HOSA (10,11,12), Tennis (JV, 10,11); SNHS Senior year because it hasn't been created yet by my Spanish teacher.
My school doesn't have as many clubs as some other public school, such as science or math clubs, Model UN, ect.</p>

<p>Just based off of what I have, what schools do you guys think I might have a chance at? I do plan on getting more involved (hopefully) senior year within the school as well as community, but as of now, there's a lot going on.</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Asian
State: Arizona
Hooks: First Generation; (does being poor count as a hook?; 23K/YR) Will probably apply for QuestBridge as well.</p>

<p>I know there isn't a ton of information to go off of, but please do your best. And will improving my SAT by maybe 100 points and my ACT to 34 give me a much higher chance?</p>

<p>Thanks! I appreciate it, and I will chance you back ASAP. </p>

<p>Basically all of your schools are low reaches (like you could get rejected just as easily as you could get accepted), except for the arizona ones- they’re basically safeties.
Also, a lot of these schools (like Cornell) have you apply to certain schools in their university, which are all have different acceptance rates, so you’ll want to look into which schools you’d apply to because that could change your chances.
Just as a recommendation, I think you should try looking for more matches. Don’t overlook the LACs! </p>

<p>Your academics are there, they are very good. However your ECs are really weak for UCLA, Duke, Cornell, and John Hopkins. I understand that your school may not have many clubs, however these schools love initiative and this would be the perfect opportunity to display that by starting clubs or organizations at your school.</p>

<p>Please chance back!
